wheel of knowledge problem, or luck?

[silverlilly1]

I've just won four free spins in a row today from the wheel of knowledge. I'm going to keep trying to see if I can manage to get something else, cause this is pretty weird... Anyone know if there's some sort of glitch? Anyone else win lots of free spins in a row?

Edit: After winning a free spin for a fifth time, I refreshed the next page prior to spinning, and finally won something other than a free spin. Odd though, as I've won free spins before and never had to refresh.

you must have got lucky, cause my first spin was a free spin, then my second spin was a berry

I've gotten that glitchy free respinning loop (once it was 10 times in a row); I usually try again later. It was really annoying when the wheel was once every 24 hours, because sometimes I'd have to give up and go to bed, setting me back by 8h. Good to know that you can refresh the page to get out of the loop.

That's happened to me before too.
Like you, I got the 'free spin' space 4 or 5 times until finally I won a worthless prize.

I missed where we could spin more than once in 24 hours on the WoK! What's the timing? Once every three, four hours?! I guess it's time to stock up on ginko if I'm missing important info like this.

[Sigh]

if you get a free spin, you can spin until you get something other than free spin. and you can do it immediately

That makes so much sense. And I feel like such a ... dolt! DOH!

[Sigh]

lol it's ok i didn't know about it til recently either...
i'd patiently wait 24 hours to use my free spin XD

lol...that's ok...I was thinking the same thing as you.

It's now once per day, but it used to be every 24 hours, so if you spun at 11:59pm NST, you couldn't spin until 11:59pm NST again the next day. Now, you can spin at 11:59pm and then again at 12:00am NST (on the new Neopian day), but then you'd have to wait until 12:00am again before you could spin again (with the exception of free spins, of course). So I'd say it's daily now rather than every 24 hours (sort of playing semantics, but in my mind, there's a difference). Sorry for the confusion.

The "free spin" is not really "lucky", its more of a booby prize because you have to click and wait again to get your prize. Sometimes repeatedly.

Well, luck that I didn't win something useless like a king hagan quote I guess.

talkig about the free spin....is it suspoed to be free as in no np's or is it just free as in you get another turn? i never noticed before but lately it charges me 500np for freespins as well as my initial daily spin.

I remember it used to do that, and I guess it still does. That's stinkage.
