A chocolate wheel is a game in which you put up a small wager and spin the wheel, hoping to win a major prize. I am assuming that the mainstay prize is a chocolate candy that would have much lesser value than the wager.

Nice of you to be nice to Helen - but the whole point of the post was where does this piece of Ozzie slang come from?
I now suspect that it's all to do with birling/burling = spinning and thus a reference to taking a chance.
