    So I consistently have tickets lying around because I only spin when there's a good chance of winning something I want. I usually spin when there's 4-5 items I'd be happy to have and 5-6 items I'd rather not have (cc and EP).

    A while back during a spin I noticed there was an option to stop the wheel and thought it would help me get what I want as long as I had a fast finger. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case.

    So I'm wondering, does anyone have any additional information to share, or strategies regarding the farm wheel to improve the odds of getting something worthwhile?

    With the sale on party tickets coming up, it seems this is more relevant that I thought. I've also looked through some of the pictures of farms and have seen quite a lot of flowers on @-Mir85- and @Michael1877 farms. Any tips or hints you could give to the rest of us on how to get better odds on these flowers and scarecrows?

    Hi, I see you got no replies :(

    Like you, I never managed to stop the wheel where I wanted. My guess is that the stop button doesn't influence the result, but I really don't know. For those wanting the flowers or scarecrows for the cloud rows I can only recommend to check the party wheel every day and only spin when the jackpot is one of the items you need. I am afraid my many flowers and scarecrows are a result of a party spin addiction, not a superior strategy :oops::wuerg:xD bought lots of tickets, will have to see if pnp offer meetings for gamblers too :p

    I am with Mir. There is no fix, its just luck. Sometimes I think it helps to be quick to hit the stop, but its really hard to assess truly. Most likely its basically random. And... I bought tickets also, which is why I have what I have.

    Sorry Decree, missed this thread earlier. Like Mir, I have had no success stopping the wheel. I think you already have the best plan going, in waiting until you see several items you would like to win. Personally, I usually wait to spin for those times without turbo mulch or mandrakes showing.

    I never got the wheel to stop where I wanted it to either when I used the stop button. I spin the daily spin daily and spin the party wheel when, like you, there are more things I would like to have than not. I am usually happy with my results because everything does help but I don't like the party spins that give workshops or crafting items. It took a really long time for me to get the final flower for the cloud row on my 2nd farm. This one it did take a while but I think it happened faster here on pnp because I bought a party package and think it was sheer volume of trying rather than luck. Hopefully, one day BP will loosen the restrictions and we can trade the flowers now that scarecrows are the new 'thing.'

    I think the stop button is an illusion meaning it doesn't work at all. I also think the answer is volume of spins to get items rather than any form of strategy. I do spin it more often during the "fun days" events but mostly because the top prizes show up with more frequency during that time. I'm still trying for the last scarecrow myself so I will spin it when I see that on the wheel. I only spin it other times if it's a great top prize like the 200% EP bonus for example or a wheel full of PR or SG that I wouldn't mind having at all. I no longer worry about avoiding TM on the wheel now I try to avoid production pens and red bat roosts.

    If you have no plans to purchase spins then I would advise to save up the ones you win to use during the fun days events. You just simply have more chances of good prizes popping up during that time period.

    The stop button used to be for stopping the wheel from spinning more so we could get the prize without waiting more seconds, but now we have to wait for the wheel to spin as much as it has to, so the stop button doesn't work anymore.

    I'm with Mir on this one, I find much better offers come up more often when that sweet half off sale is bought. Really need to stop the need to spin, if an addicted to spin club ever comes around I hope the ticket to ride will be on the party wheel:music:
    I never tried the stop button, I am more of a wiggler :p I will go threw the list see one I really hope for spin, then wiggle my pointer over the one I am hoping for, might be all in my head but seems to work for me more times than not.;)
