The goal of Jubilee Wheel is to make bets on which color or number slot combination that a simulated roulette ball will drop in, wait for the wheel to spin and let the gambling engine make rolls on the outcome. If the player's bet matches the outcome then the player receives a payout.
The amount the player bets in the machine acts as a multiplier against a payout score for each combination of roll turnouts. To play the Jubilee Wheel, the player must first join a Jubilee Wheel gambling station. Players can join Jubilee Wheel stations by double clicking or clicking on the Jubilee Wheel machine and selecting the Join Station radial option or they may click on the station and use the /joinGame command. Doing any of these will bring up an SUI window. Players may also leave the Jubilee Wheel machine by clicking on the Leave Station radial, which will close any currently open gambling SUI windows. A player can remain joined in the game station so long as they are betting. If they go one round without betting, then they will be removed from the station. Other players may also join in the Jubilee Wheel game.
