Imagine you're playing Russian Roulette. 6 chambers one bullet. One way to play is to spin the cylinder after every turn. This makes every turn a 1 in 6 chance of "winning" and you could theoretically continue having turns forever without a winner. This is how wheel works.

Another way to play is to not spin the cylinder after every turn. This guarantees there will be a "winner" within 6 shots. This is how people wish wheel worked.

Yeah, but the more often you spin the higher the chance you hit.

Yeah, but it is still a 1 in 6 chance each time. However unlikely is it to never hit after X chances, its still possible.
