How To Win The Lucky Wheel In GTA Online
GTA Online can be a very finicky game when it comes to maintaining a stable, lag-free connection to Rockstar servers. So before we get down to details, make note of the following:
- Always start in a fresh Private Session. It ensures that you are the session host and maintains a crisp, clean connection without interference from lagswitchers and other game exploiters.
- A fresh Private Session also ensures that the Lucky Wheel will be in its default starting position, having not been tampered with by other players. As seen in the image above, the piece of clothing must be in the 12 o’clock position, with the Podium Vehicle one segment away in roughly the 11 o’clock position.
- Set your spawn location to ‘Last Location’, so that you can spawn close to the Lucky Casino in the event that…
- …you mess up and the spin goes wrong. Do not panic, practice makes perfect. Simply force close the game through the respective menu systems of each console, or Alt + F4 on PC, before the game has the opportunity to save to Rockstar servers. Saving is usually indicated by a spinning orange circle in the bottom right corner. Relaunch the game, and your free daily spin will have been refunded.
- If you have a lot of garages, or even just one, ensure that there is one empty slot left in the topmost garage listed in the garage selection menu. This is because when (not if) you win the Podium Car, you will have the briefest amount of time to garage it, before it just up and disappears. And the game will not let you attempt to win it again that week either. You do not want to spend that time shuffling between garages, trying to figure out which one has an empty berth.
And now down to brass tacks:
- Walk up to the wheel and wait for the prompt “Use <Left Analog Stick> to Spin” to appear. Pictured above.
- Count to one.
- Move the <Left Analog Stick> to the left, or the 9 o’clock position.
- Start counting to four once you hit the rim of the stick’s well.
- Move the <Left Analog Stick> to the bottom, or the 6 o’clock position, along the rim of the stick’s well. You should be at that final position on the count of four.
- Release the <Left Analog Stick> to return to its dead zone neutral position. Do not push. Do not flick. Simply let go.
- If you have failed, you will have a clear indication by observing the wheel and more than enough time to force quit the app, preventing the game from saving, well before the wheel comes to a full halt.
- If you have succeeded, garage the Podium Vehicle immediately, or lose it and any further opportunity for the entire week.
And there you have it, an easy method to bag a nice car every single week for a $500 buy-in at the Diamond Casino reception desk. If you want more Grand Theft Auto Online tips and tricks, check out how you can get yourself a massive 50-berth garage to house all these babies you will be winning.
