worth doing three spins really, as you get a free spin, and 50 tickets for spending 60 tickets to do the next two. Two spins at 5 tickets per spin is still basically "old price"

err... is it me or is there a flaw in that logic? (and not just that its specific to the current running prize structure)
* It still means that after three spins you are worse off than you were before (as you would have got the three random prizes but are now 4 tickets down... or a whole spin & prize in "old money")
* and incrementally the fourth spin still costs 10 times as much as it did....
on the other hand... you are right.... 10 tickets, here or there, now is worthless:. I consider my pig is fully lip-sticked
that said.. I can see one other upside in the new pricing but it isn't really a win-win.

Sure, but it's more like the tickets literally only have any value on the wheel, so you may as well do "three spins for 10 tickets" rather than "1 spin for 0 tickets". You'll most likely earn more than the 10 tickets per appearance of the wheel, and every time you land one of the three spins on a ticket reward, that turns it into a free spin and gives you +20 instead of -10 for the three spins.
I've been doing that steadily since the change and gone up from a few hundred tickets to 3600 in that time, I just aren't going to spend any of the rest on the offchance that hopefully they rebalance the thing again
