Question

Write a Python program that simulates a wheel of fortune game.

The game is played as follows:

• Spin a wheel with a group of numbers (0-10).
• If you got a 1, 2 or a 3, the game is over.
• If you got a 4, 5, or 6, you win that many dollars ($4, $5, or $6), and then spin again, or
• if you got 7, 8, 9, or 10, then you win $14,$16,$18, or $20 and then spin again.
• If you got a 0, then you lose 50% of what you won so far, but are allowed to spin again.

With each additional spin, you have the chance to win more money, or you might play the game-ending 1, 2, or 3, at which time the game is over and you keep whatever winnings you have accumulated.

Programming instructions:

• Use the randint() function from Python's random module to get a wheel spin result (see functions for integers).
• Run 10,000 simulations of the game.
• Retain a win list to store your won amount for each simulation.  
• Calculate the average amount won and the largest amount won based on your win list.
• Comment your code where appropriate without commenting the obvious and trivial (incl. docstrings for your function).
• Keep 2 decimals when printing the result.

Make sure your simulation is set up as a function using def () with the number of simulations as input and return the average amount won and max amount won from the simulations.
Then call that function in another part of your program and give the output formatted as shown below.

Furthermore, answer the following question in the comments of your code:

• Would you pay $15 for a chance to play this game? Why or why not?

Example Output:

Average amount won = $xx.xx

Max amount won = $xx.xx

Answer 1

CODE:

import random

def simulate(s):
    win_list = []
    max_win = 0
    sum_win = 0
    for i in range(s):
        win = 0
        
        while(True):
            n = random.randint(0,10)
            if (n in [1,2,3]):
                break
            elif (n in [4,5,6]):
                win += n
            elif (n in [7,8,9,10]):
                win += 2*n
            else:
                win = 0.5 * win
                
        win_list.append(win)
        sum_win += win
        if win > max_win:
            max_win = win
        
    return ((sum_win/s),max_win)
    
avg,m = simulate(1000)
print("Average amount won = $",format(avg,'.2f'))
print("Max amount won = $",format(m,'.2f'))
            
        
                
    

OUTPUT:
