Finland's Onnenpyörä

Just saw a promo, and there is a lot to check out here. The Wheel layout may no longer have a completely patterned color scheme like it used to, but if you look closely, there are still some interesting patterns to notice. the Rosvo (robber), Ohi, and 50-200 spaces are the same as their respective spaces on the other side of the Wheel while the bigger values vary. In addition, the top euro value appears to be the only cash space to change value from round to round. At the end of the promo, you'll notice it's 400. That may be the top value for Round 1. In later rounds, it's valued at 550 (possibly) and 700 (for sure). I don't know if there will be any other values, but there may be.

As for the letters at the middle of the Rosvo and Ohi spaces, they spell out the word "Sektori" which means sector.

Also, if you look closely at one of the clips, specifically the one where the gentleman in the red podium spins the Wheel, you may notice the possibility of the top euro value for that round being 550. You may also notice what appear to be two gray spaces, which certainly don't appear to look the same, but that doesn't mean that neither of them are Mystery wedges. Both could be special prizes or elements or what not, but I'm sure we'll find out within a couple weeks as the show starts February 28. Yes, I know it's a Wednesday. That's why I checked as many sources as I could to be absolutely sure it was then and not on a Monday. Even TV5's site says it's the 28th.

Yeah, one out of four chance of losing your turn, including the Bankrupt spaces? I can see where you're coming from on that. Anyway, I got a couple promos here, one of them being the promo I showed you earlier but in much higher quality.




And as it turns out, that one top-value wedge is indeed valued at 550 euros. As far as I know, Finland never used 550 as a playable value before. Now I still don't know what those two grey wedges are for, but at least we know more thanks to the higher quality.

I found out some information about one of those silver wedges after seeing a partial view of it on a video over at Instagram (a picture of which can be seen below). I had to do some work, but it paid off. It's a wedge marked Suomen Sähkötuonti Oy. After doing some more research, I learned that Suomen Sähkötuonti Oy is a company that imports and distributes home electronics and appliances in Finland. It doesn't appear to be a retailer like Noel Leeming, which was featured on the more recent version of New Zealand's version of Wheel.

So with all that said, I can imagine this wedge offers prizes distributed by Suomen Sähkötuonti Oy, whether they'd be refrigerators, gas grills, vacuum cleaners, or what not. In addition, I'm strongly certain that Suomen Sähkötuonti Oy is somehow involved with sponsorship when it comes to Onnenpyörä.

You can watch episodes of Onnenpyora VIP via a Finnish website called Ruutu. I just used a free VPN. You can use Opera if you want, and the VPN just needs to be set to Europe. (Jakso means 'episode')

It is a good show lol
