Italy's Wheel Of Fortune 2024

thanks for the info, celetheref

that post will REALLY come in handy when it comes to recreating the layouts (though i'll probably use the US/English counterparts for the most part)

What could it be?




let's find out!

Season 20 of Ruota is in the books. Waiting for season 21, here are some stats:

Contestants won a total of €395,000 in cash and prizes
Just 20% of that came from the bonus round (12 W - 16 L); the top prize (the SUV) was won twice and lost once.
The biggest single-day maingame win was €29,050; the smallest €4,550
Gerry landed on the €5,000 three times on his Final Spin (in one episode the puzzle was solved before the bell)
Samira asked Gerry 56 questions, he answered correctly to 26 of them (.464)

Among the new (for Italy) features, the Wild Card was the most popular: it was taken to the bonus round a good number of times, including in the final episode.
The Mystery wedge was also popular but it was won only once.
The Express was avoided like the plague (landed on twice, none took it).

Sorry for speaking in a dead thread.
In speaking of the Gerry Joker, according to some episodes of the fall season, it looks like the Gerry Joker is a combination of the Free Spin token and Portugal’s Devil token.
In other words, the Gerry Joker acts exactly like the Free Spin token but if you go bankrupt you can use the Gerry Joker to keep your turn AND your current round score, yes even your winnings from previous rounds. I think this is it.

I was on vacation in Italy last September and I was able to watch a couple episodes. I was floored that this version has returning champions, though on one of the eps I saw, the returning champion was the red player and she stayed at red the next day, so it looks like the champs stay in their same spot throughout their run. I did see the "peeking letters" Toss-Up from Spain done, and I didn't notice that Bankrupt affects total score as well (unless it doesn't anymore?)

Yeah and because of this, it looks like for this fall season there’s an 2nd Express wedge added to the wheel, it was probably avoided so much in the 1st season because it was next to a Passamano/Lose a Turn and no one took it because of the fear of going bankrupt, since bankrupt clears everything won throughout the game up to that point unlike in the previous Italian versions.

Forced before the letter call, or after a correct letter? I'm worried it's before.
