When approached, Akabi | When approached, Akabi invites the party to participate and Spin the Wheel for 500 gold, loudly promoting the allure of winning the jackpot. Akabi magically rigs his game, guaranteeing that participants only ever get one of the sixteen largely useless [[Akabi#Consolation prizes|consolation prizes]], unless the party manages to cheat the djinn himself. | ||

A successful {{Ability Check|Perception|20}} | A successful {{Ability Check|Perception|20}} reveals that Akabi is cheating, manipulating the wheel to ensure no one wins the jackpot. | ||
He | He denies any accusations, offering the interacting party member to simply spin again instead. If provoked, Akabi shapeshifts the talking party member into a cheese wheel for 20 turns. Akabi refuses to let anyone play who has been transformed by him in this way, but other party members can still participate. | ||
To win the jackpot, it is necessary to pickpocket Akabi for his {{SmRarityItem|Djinni Ring}}, without which he cannot rig the game. [[Bard|Bards]] can also distract Akabi ({{Ability Check|Performance|15}}) with either a joke or a well-timed fart and win the jackpot. However, stealing the ring or the [[Bard]] distraction permanently locks the party out of winning future consolation prizes. | |||

Regardless of how the party member won, Akabi | Regardless of how the party member won, Akabi is enraged and accuses them of cheating. He transports the talking party member, alone, to a [[Jungle]] in the distant land of {{FRWiki|Chult}}. This is the only way to reach this area and to obtain the items within, notably the trident {{SmRarityItem|Nyrulna}} and the ring {{SmRarityItem|Band of the Mystic Scoundrel}}. It is recommended to choose a party member for playing with Akabi, who is very capable at heavy combat or stealth, to survive in the jungle. | ||
Akabi | Akabi permanently closes down the game, if one character wins the jackpot, all characters are turned to cheese, or if all consolation prizes are claimed by spinning the wheel 16 times. | ||
It is not possible to obtain all of the consolation prizes and the jackpot as he shuts down the game on the 16th spin. He does not award the jackpot on the final spin, if he still has his ring or the bard option is not used. | |||
