I just finished up a long analysis of Wheel of Fortune Poker. It is like a side bet on top of video poker where the player randomly gets a wheel spin. It took quite a bit of time to analyze this one and write it up, so I welcome any comments, questions or corrections.
Part of the analysis was the probability of being dealt a winning hand, which is as follows:
Jacks or better = 0.206275
Deuces wild = 0.184394
Joker poker (kings or better) = 0.195845
The question for the poll is would you play Wheel of Fortune Poker?

Very nice, thank you.
The table following the phrase "The following table is a sampling of the probability of solving the puzzle (and thus spinning the Wheel) given a winning hand on the draw" has incorrect column names. The column names say Win, Weight, Probability, and Return. They should be Game, Pay Table, Plays, and Probability.
At the end where you point out a difference in RTP between yourself and Videopoker.com, in "You will have to decide for yourself whom (or is it "who") to believe.", "whom to believe" is correct. "Whom" is the object of the verb "believe".
