The average wait counts spins until the first run of 75 losses is completed. It is an average over many players, and any individual can see it on their first 75 spins or never. The "at least once" figures are exact: they account for a run starting on any spin, not just the first.

What it means

A streak of 75 losses has a probability of 98.2% to the power of 75, which is 25.61%. It is rare for any one run of 75 spins, but it does not stay rare if you keep going: across 500 spins the chance that it appears at least once is 98.45%.

The next spin is not owed a win. After 74 losses the chance of a win on the next spin is still exactly 1.8%. The wheel has no memory, and a fresh provably fair roll is generated for each spin. Believing a win is overdue is the gambler's fallacy, and it is the most common reason stakes grow during a bad run.

Doubling after a loss does not fix it. Doubling the stake until a win needs 275 − 1 times your first stake to survive 75 losses in a row, and a table limit or an empty balance ends the plan well before the maths evens out. The 10% house edge applies to every stake in the plan, so betting more does not change the expected loss per unit staked.

Every spin can be checked. The roll for each Wheel spin comes from an HMAC of a server seed committed in advance, your client seed and a nonce, so the result cannot be chosen after you bet. How to check one is on the provably fair page.
