"The percentages are correct. The bright color only highlights the more valuable rewards, but has nothing more to do with the likelihood."
"In addition, the values change yes, if you turn a second or third time.
The changed probabilities were not mentioned in the changelog, but we will include them in the upcoming announcement for the event."

How it works
- The event consists of 24 lucky wheels. Every day another one is unlocked. You can only do this for free on the day of activation! If you miss the free spin you have to invest gold to have a shot at the bonuses you want.
- Each Wheel of Fortune contains 6 rewards that are revealed to you. So you know in advance what you can get in the bike. Unlike the Christmas wheel of fortune, there seems to be no "rating" of the rewards. That means the chance of each bonus is exactly 1/6.
- Rewards do not have to be spent immediately or packed into the inventory. You can also leave them in the event (but you have to spend them until the end of the event).
- Every day there is a reward that gives you an additional "Sacred Branch", should you receive it. If you have 5 Sacred Branches you will receive a hero. This is not very strong. As a rule, the 24 free shoots are enough to get the hero.
Period:
- The event will run for 24 days.
- It starts on May 3 at 10 clock on the beta
- on the live worlds, it is not yet announced. Expected is the 17th - 21st May.
Rewards:
- Nothing is known about the exact rewards. However, you can expect the usual rewards (acumen, units, Tyche's blessings, favor, land extensions and things like Trojan and rituals).
- A new hero is being played in the event. This is called Ajax and strengthens the attack and defense power of Hoplites by 16.5- 45%. You can find a picture below.
Gold Insert:
- This event category is the most expensive one at Grepolis! Getting all 6 rewards from a wheel of fortune costs 2,100 gold, and if you're not spinning all the wheels, you have no guarantee that you'll get the bonuses you're looking for! So think about whether you are willing to pay 2100 gold for the bonuses.
This event unconsciously entices you to huge gold expenses. Once you have rotated 2x (still relatively cheap), you really want to continue, because you have already invested gold. Do not fall for it and keep in mind that turning at the end costs 2100 gold per wheel.
- Exact costs:
- 1st turn = Free, 2nd turn = 200 gold, ...., 6th turn = 600 gold. Total: 2100 gold per wheel of fortune
- Replenish wheel of fortune: Price not yet confirmed, but probably 50 or 100 gold.

This event is playable via the app

@Loves You, that does explain. Thanks. Thought it might be the case but one never knows. Appreciate you answering this for all of us. Cheers.
I'll double check on Monday so we have clarification as the event starts

And as per usual, something was actually changed for the better and nobody will comment on it, normally a few people are already here before the event even starts to complain
Good job on making the first wheel equal percentages, a number of people (including myself though I don't think I did it on the forums) had suggested that, it's great to see the team listening to feedback

Listening to feedback LOL.... your having a laugh aren't you LOL
the fact that we have even got YET ANOTHER DAMN EVENT kinda renders that statement ridiculous.

like you fluv but learn to read
and the reply by @Loves You with all the links was edited to remove the info (don't know why)
was waiting to hear from BT before making any comment (good or bad)

Not sure how anyone else is doing here but the damn wheel keeps loading every other time I push a button on the AP. That's really annoying.
How much gold to get it to stop doing that?

gotta agree.. considering Christmas wheel had 5% chance on rare tokens this is better for sure.
Based on testing I did on the beta server it seems that every day the prizes are an equal probability so 16% of getting any of the 6. When you get one of the prizes the percentages adjust. So with all 6 prizes available you have a 16% chance and if you respin with the 5 remaining you have a 20% chance of getting one of those remaining items.

Happened to me as well. Had to uninstall/reinstall app

They did make all the percentages equal, so it shows that at least some of our feedback is being listened to (the majority of the feedback from the last wheel event was in the form of complaints about how the skewed percentages were a negative change).
However it is annoying that yet another update was released which damaged app functionality. I missed a number of snipes on en105 (including for a city which was subsequently lost but only just) because I had pop-ups appear when changing between cities, trying to send troops, or activate militia (both event pop-ups and error messages telling me to login again when I didn't actually have to (could just close the window, but that delayed timings for things)).
In summary, thank you for taking this event back to the preferred format, but perhaps the app-implementation needs a fix (if it hasn't already been done - I haven't been on the app today).

It is nice simple probability problem to count your chances to win a hero given you roll the wheel once a day, 24 times. The answer is about 94%, so one need to be very unlucky not to win Ajax.
