How to play Monty's Wheel of Fortune

The tip in a nutshell: DO NOT SPIN THE WHEEL until you have 8 tokens in your inventory!

What this event boils down to is...
You need to be extraordinarily lucky to get even 1 extra token from your farm(s) within the 24 hours Monty is around, so your only hopes for a jackpot spin are:

1) Buy tokens with gold
2) Save up the 1 freebee you get over 8 appearances
3) Hope for extra tokens from farm work while Monty is visiting.
4) Get tokens from spinning the wheel. (It is better not to count on this before you start spinning, but the ones you get are a great start toward the next round!)

Once you have 8 tokens, whether from 8 automatic freebees, or finding them on your farm(s), or from buying them, then...
spin, spin, spin, spin,
spin, spin, spin, spin,
and finally spin one last time in the Jackpot Round

*** Edit ***
I want to say that this is an very well designed part of the game. Maybe Monty will show up every other Monday, maybe he will show up once a month. Whatever the case - only the patient or the gold spender will get into the jackpot round.

And reducing 4 to 6 months of patient hording into a few minutes with a gold purchase is... well it is brilliant! You don't have to spend gold to get the Jackpot, but gold sure helps!

And that is a good thing! GGS isn't being greedy or unfair here. On the contrary, they are being wonderfully inventive, fair, and even generous. There is nothing you can't DO in this game for free. There are a few things you can't GET without gold, but they are not needed to have the full game experience.

Giving people a reason to buy gold while giving the free players plenty of reasons to play and get hooked and eventually maybe buy gold is... Well, the guys at GGS have rent to pay, families to feed, and I love the games they've created to help them do that.

    Thanks, but how does it help to have 8? It just doesn't make any sense to me.
    Thanks though!

    because the last one is the one to try for the scarecrow and other nice rewards. When you get 8 tokens then spin. He stays for about 24 hours and he will leave. When he returns he brings all the tokens back and you can continue to try to get more.

    Because if you spin it 8 times it gives you an extra, "jackpot" spin.

    The jackpot spin has bigger rewards than the normal spins. When you spin, you can see the star in the circle around the wheel move forward and it will say 1/8 (which means 7 spins left until the jackpot spin). If you spin 3 now and wait for Monty to come back, the wheel will be reset! If you save those 3 tokens and get another the next time and another the next time until you have 8, you can spin all 8 at once and the star will reach the maximum and you get the jackpot round.

    The jackpot round will give you a free spin (so no token needed) and you can spin different and better rewards, such as:
    • A gold decoration
    • A gold mining license
    • Rose seeds
    • Sunflower seeds
    • The scarecrow decoration
    • The hammock decoration

    And of course these are all great prizes to have, even though most players are sad when they win a few seeds and very happy when they win one of the limited decorations (scarecrow and hammock). And of course the gold mining license is very nice and the gold decoration a welcome gift ^^

    I like to spin, so I always spin away my one token as soon as I get it instead of saving them up, but sometimes you really get lucky. The last time Monty was here, I kept winning more and more tokens, and ended up getting two jackpot spins, all from my one free token! Sadly, both times the jackpot was only a duckpond, but at least I got some premium feed and a few hundred thousand dollars along the way too.
