Spinning Wheel Sizes

                                What size spinning wheel should we use?

When we talk of "spinning wheel size" we are referring to the number of pins or numbers on the wheel, not its physical dimensions.

Our spinning wheels come in a variety of sizes. We have 48, 60, 64, 72 and 100 pin wheels.  Why so many?  And which one should you use? 

The size of your crowd is a factor - it will be hard to sell 100 tickets if there are only 100 people present.  It might seem obvious that the more tickets there are, the longer it will take to sell them - but this is not so.   Similarly, the dearer the ticket, the harder to sell is not true.

IT IS NOT THE NUMBER OF TICKETS THAT MAKES IT EASY TO SELL, NOR IS IT THE PRICE OF THE TICKET,  BUT RATHER THE QUALITY OF THE PRIZES

 Using data from the table below, compare the value of prizes.  Will people want the goods that can be supplied for $12, or would they prefer to be taking a chance to win something worth $50?          

  A few $5 spins throughout the course of the day between $2 spins might be easier to sell than a continual stream of  $1 spins - what do you want that is worth under $24?
