    description
    A roulette wheel is a turning disc set into the playfield and divided into marked segments, whose resting position decides what the player is awarded — the casino wheel borrowed as a scoring device, and fitted almost exclusively to machines themed on gambling. [[manufacturer:game-plan]] built its cocktail machines around one. On *[[title:real]]* (1978) the wheel sits in the middle of the playfield and is set going by the machine's kick-out holes, handing out random awards;[1] *[[title:chuck-a-luck]]* (1978) is the same playfield with factory-applied stickers pasted over the original artwork,[2] and *[[title:foxy-lady]]* (1978) carries the wheel as well. Where the wheel is stepped rather than spun it stops being a lottery. [[manufacturer:segasa]]'s *[[title:casino-royale]]* (1976) advances its wheel one position at a time from two targets at the top of the playfield, freezes it with a target at the lower left and cashes whatever value is showing through a kick-out hole — a value the player has spent the ball climbing.[3] [[manufacturer:bally]] took the other route on *[[title:speakeasy]]* (1982) and hid the mechanism under the playfield, where the saucers on either side of mid-field set it going.[4][5] That wheel scores points, but two of its segments deal in balls instead: one adds a ball to the game and one takes a ball away, and the backglass counts anywhere from two balls owed to nine in hand.[6][7]
