Joker (Big Six)

Other Table Games

A special segment on the Big Six wheel that typically pays 40:1 or 45:1, representing one of the highest-payout segments. The Joker segment appears only once or twice on a standard 54-space wheel, making it a low-probability, high-variance outcome. Some Big Six wheels feature both a Joker and a casino logo or flag segment, both offering the same enhanced payout. The presence of the Joker segment is what gives the game its common name “Big Six,” as there are typically six different payout levels on the wheel.
