Suppose there is a game where you spin a prize wheel. The prize wheel is divided into 10 segments. One segment awards an additional 5 spins. If the player pays to spin the wheel 5 times initially, how many times will the player spin the wheel on average (including extra spins awarded)

Since this is homework. What do you think the answers is and how did you arrive at that?

meera - show us your attempt at solving this and we'll help where you get stuck. But please clarify something - is the player allowed to bankroll his additional spins? In other words if the player hits the additional 5 spins award four times in a row has he built up a bank roll of 20 free spins?

[meerameera]

Initially the player gets 5 spins. If he gets additional spins, he can continue spinning the wheel until all the additional spins get elapsed.

For the question: Yes. If the player hits the additional 5 spins award four times in a row has he built up a bank roll of 20 free spins.

Please let me know the expected number of spins he can do with this logic.
