Recently I headed for my usual manicure appointment and upon payment, the cashier informed me that my purchases for that day entitled me to a reward from a quick spin-the-wheel session.

It took me by surprise and I couldn’t be any happier. The familiar adrenaline rush hit me as I spun the wheel, my eyes anxiously tracing each wedge that passes through the needle as it rotates.

Pedicure worth $30…
10% discount…
$20 voucher…
50% discount…

And finally, the needle landed on a manicure worth $50.

After claiming my free reward, a voice in my head coaxed me to make another purchase in order to qualify for another spin. Perhaps I could get lucky again. Sounds a bit like having a go at the slot machines, right?
