It probably will be a gem wheel. The only time it isn't is when they use tokens, instead. Tokens generally fund a different type of wheel - one where you can win *past* cases. So, if that were the situation this time, it would mean no new case.
The only alternative is Black Friday, where tokens are used to win golden items.
Seasonal updates usually have new cases added to the game, so this is an accurate assumption. I doubt ChuteUK would turn away from making a new case for the Summer Update when he has DEADMONSTOR to cover most fixes, patches and other updates to the servers as opposed to how it has been previously.
Honestly, with DEAD & Chute working consistently together, we're starting to get the best of both worlds with balance updates, suggestion-implementations, scheduled seasonal updates, and so forth.
