Bandit Camp Big Wheel

The wheel in the Bandit Camp casino spins every 45 seconds. Bet scrap on 1, 3, 5, 10 or 20. A win gives back your bet plus your bet times the number: 10 scrap on 3 returns 40. Also see blackjack strategy and poker odds.

Slot machines

3 machines at Bandit Camp and 2 in each caboose. A spin costs 2 scrap. The payouts below were reported by one fan guide in 2022; the board on the machine itself is the real one.

3× Charcoal: 153× Wood: 253× Rope: 403× Bandage: 453× Low Grade Fuel: 803× Sulfur: 1003× Scrap: 4003× 777: 1000

A bet multiplier scales the cost and the payouts. Facepunch hasn't published how often each symbol comes up, so nobody outside Facepunch knows the real odds or how much the machines keep.

Every spin is independent: the wheel doesn't remember what came up before, so "it's due a 20" is never true, and doubling up after a loss (martingale) only makes a big loss rarer but bigger. The simulator shows it - try any pattern of bets.

Frequently Asked Questions

The wheel is reported to have 25 slots: 12 ones, 6 threes, 4 fives, 2 tens and 1 twenty. So 1 comes up 48% of the time, 3 24%, 5 16%, 10 8% and 20 4%.

1, 3 and 5 each give back about 96% of what you bet over time; 10 gives back about 88% and 20 about 84%. No pattern of bets beats the wheel - every spin is independent.

Your bet back plus your bet times the number: 10 scrap on 3 returns 40, 10 scrap on 20 returns 210.
