Electronic Pigs Coming to Minnesota?

If  H.F.2725 and S.F. 2612 introduced this month in Minnesota become law, you could see electronic Pig Wheels™ in Minnesota a few months after.  You can see more on the wheel game at: Parlor Pig Wheel™  What we need is a modification of the definition of paddle wheel to allow for a wheel with symbols.  Then, we need to be able to use one ticket for several wager selections rather than one ticket for each player selection.  In doing this, the paper is reduced by as much as 95% and the cost of paper handling is radically reduced.  Electronic wheels are already authorized, we just need to bring the cost effective efficiencies.




Imagine the above as an image on a 70"+ flat panel display somewhere in your favorite bar.  Your are able to mark up your choices of numbers, pigs, or odd/even on a slip of paper.  Then you determine how much you wish to bet per spin which determines the value of each selection you have made.  You determine how many spins you wish the selection to apply (up to 10 consecutive spins) and provide the money and slip, we call "Player Selection Form" to someone authorized to scan your choices in to produce an official recorded ticket.  Every four minutes or so, the wheel goes into a simulated spin.  You may scan your ticket to see if you have won -- if you aren't sure.  Now, we actually have some really cool features as displays of outcome and you get to see them --- if S.F. 2612 and H.F. 2725 pass in Minnesota.  This game is secure, efficient and easily regulated and audited.  It will be the easiest game among those operated by charities.  

The legislation does not effect the existing Tri-Wheel® operation.  And, yes, we could put the Tri-Wheel on this system; however, we believe you will agree that the Pig Wheel™ is going to be easier to play and, once you know the whole story, more fun.

The Pig Wheel™ is currently very popular as a table game in North Dakota.  We will seek to achieve legislative approval in North Dakota for this version in the next ND session - 2015.  More on that later.

Minnesota charities, please help get the legislative authorization for this style of handling tickets and using symbols in addition to numbers on a wheel.  Big game - minor changes.

Both the Pig Wheel™ and the Minnesota Tri-Wheel® are played in North Dakota.  The Tri-Wheel® is in the Fargo area.  There are more than 50 Pig Wheels in operation.  Unless noted, the bar has only the Pig Wheel®.  The Pig Wheel is distributed exclusively by Lien Games.  So we don't know where they are played and welcome your letting us know when you spot a bar missing or place that no longer plays it.
