wheel of fortune

[image fortuna]
Here Roman goddess Fortuna (Fortuna roman for fortune is the personification of luck, but also the goddess of fate could represent both good and bad luck).

This image shows her governing 4 stages of life in an ancient manuscript. Also known as the 'Wheel of Fortune'

Another game of chance, brings a more tactile role to the player. Allowing them to eagerly watch as their chance spins around on a giant disc in front of them. It is slightly more humane that the lottery as you obviously don't pay for the priveledge of the chance to win.

But then they do make money from viewers that watch players trying their luck at winning. hmm



The famous pointing finger. Referencing once again that haunting tag line for any game involving money. "it could be you".
