History of the Big Six Wheel

As with most classic games that span such a vast history, the facts surrounding the origins of the Big Six Wheel can vary. However, the majority of sources claim that the Ancient Greeks or Romans played a form of wheel-spinning games . According to reports they would play by mounting damaged shields on spears with sections marked off on them, then spinning them. A truly innovative idea that has now evolved over centuries. The modern version of Big Six Wheels and Wheel of Fortune is believed to have been introduced in the 1800s in the late industrial era. Casinos were beginning to be established and the Big Six Wheel was there from the very beginning.
