You might have been spinning the 54-segment Crazy Time money wheel without realising the fascinating story behind the Wheel of Fortune.
The wheel dates back to around 100 BC, has deep roots in Greek and Roman mythologies, and is said to depict the universal human concept of changing fortunes.
The money wheel that we know and love first rose to prominence as a game called Rota Fortunae, which the Roman soldiers, bored between battles, used to pass the time playing. They would use Chariot wheels or mark points on their shields and spin them around to create a gambling game.
Had one of the Roman soldiers thought to combine the game with a coin flip, we could have had Crazy Time!
However, after Roman times, the wheel of fortune as a gambling device fell into obscurity and only re-emerged in 1975. We had to wait until 2020 for Crazy Time to be released.
But first, let’s talk about the origins and the concept of fortune itself.
