I am very seriously asking. I picked up the game couple of days ago and I’ve been playing and enjoying it quite a lot. However, I am baffled by the Wheel of Fortune tarrot card. At this point I have unlocked like 80% of the collection and won the game multiple times, I purchased and triggered the card probably close to a hundred times and never saw it trigger. Other luck based cards, even the ones with much smaller odds (the banana joker, for example) work just fine. Is it a prank card made by the developer or something along those lines?

No, I have checked source code. We are just unlucky.
Hey! How did it go with your Lenny-break? Did the studies work out? Glad to see you back.
I just came home from last exam of school life. So, yea I have a lot of time but lemmy.world banned me because I am not 18.
Blows. Sorry to hear
Welcome to Balatro! Lol
It really is 1/4, but it’s a running joke in the community that Wheel of Fortune never hits
It’s just rng, I’m afraid. I purchase it often and it procs sometimes.
Fair enough! Obviously I know its improbable, but not impossible. Seems almost funny, though, so I had to ask!
The math is publicly available!
Looked it up just now, and among other search results I’ve found other people saying very similar things about a “ridiculously long streak which had them convinced it’s something to figure out”. I guess I’ll keep on trucking and hope for the best!
Humans are just very bad at understanding probability. Having seen a 1/4 fail 10 times does not change the probability for the next roll.
Most games lie about the % chance of something hitting because of this. Balatro does not lie.
Totally random. I’ve had runs where it never procs, and I had one run where I got it 5 times and it hit 100%.
