Someone over at DeviantArt has shown how to make the Wheel spin longer. You know how quick the Wheel spins normally are? Too quick, like a second or two at most.
Along with the DX Wheel, you will need some Free Spin tokens and a cap from a plastic soda bottle. Depending on what Wheel you have, you may also want a cap from a plastic milk jug.
Fill the soda bottle cap with a stack of Free Spin tokens (I recommend that for each end of the stack, the white underside of the tokens are shown so that the Free Spin displays do not get scratched).
Place the soda cap with the Free Spins in the center of the Wheel base and then place the Wheel back on. You may need to add or remove Free Spins until you see the Wheel just slightly tilted. That slight tilt is actually essential because it helps reduce the friction that causes the Wheel's spin to end so quickly.
Give the Wheel a spin and you will notice that the tilt makes the spin last for at least twice if not three times as long.
And to add some more flavor, I've also made some custom layouts. Some of them based off of actual layouts used on the show while others are of my own design.

The number of these layouts will continue to grow so please keep checking back for more. For some, you may need some larger denominations or a larger number of $1000 bills since some four-digit values are present.
Please print the layouts out at 6.437 inches in order for them to fit on your Pressman Deluxe Wheel. Printing them out at 6.44 inches on Word shouldn't be a problem. Just widen the margins up for them to fit in the document.
