Lucky Wheels

Lucky Wheels is a minigame playable in both Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It is located in Tolbi (above the inn) in the first game and Contigo in the second, and it is played using the Game Tickets your party can amass through extensive shopping. It is effectively the main purpose of your Game Tickets and is effectively where players of either game get most of their Shirt, Boots, and Ring artifacts from.

Rules
Lucky Wheels work in much the same way a slot machine does. The player bets up to 4 tickets. Betting one ticket allows the player to score only on the middle row, betting two tickets scores on the middle three rows, betting three tickets scores on five rows, and betting four scores on all rows and the diagonals.

After the player has bet, the lever is pulled and the wheels spin. The player can let them stop spinning on their own or press the R button to stop them. When they stop, the player decides which slots to hold. Slots that are held do not spin when the lever is pulled next. The player has 5 spins in which to score. With this in mind, the player must match up the symbols that correspond to the prize he or she wants in a row.
