I've decided to start a discussion regarding Venezuelan Wheel, although they referred to it as a star.
Here are some clips I found.
I also have a promo of Panama's recent version, and right before it seems to be a shot the Wheel, or should I say Star, used on Venezuela's version.

The first video also has a promo for the Venezuelan Win, Lose, or Draw, and I think their set for that show looks better than ours.
Edited to add: Is that a FIVE-row puzzle board?

Is it just me, or was that second video one of the worst uploads ever? I actually timed it -- of the 3:48 video, a whopping 2:13 consists of barely-moving footage with what sounds like someone fiddling around with audio recording equipment before the video decides to resume...and that doesn't even count the 13 seconds of silence at the end.

I thought the video wasn't working correctly, honestly.

Well there's like 5 minutes of my life I can't get back. That middle clip reminded me of a $100,000 win on Pyramid with everybody rushing the stage like that.

I am sorry to say that very few visual sources of Venezuela's Star of Fortune can be found today, but after doing some relentless digging around, I found something last week that seems to be the most promising source yet as to what Venezuela's Star may have really looked like. It's not of the show itself, but a 1995 commercial for another show called A Jugar y a Ganar. It may have used elements of various Venezuelan game shows such as Estrella de la Fortuna.
A partial view of the "Wheel" can be seen at 0:26 in this promo. Merry Christmas!
