You look more like a Pokemon cosplayer.

Unless in reality you are... A REPTILIAN ALIEN in DISGUISE! Like those guys from V!

Anywho, If any of my fellow gamblers out there need a warning, its this:
Don't bet your winnings, only tokens.

Apparently the server offload function that Braaaaains is providing for Noodles server had not taken winnings into account. Hence the loss of gold.

Betting winnings seems like a lame idea anyway, because then you can walk away with nothing at all. Unless they magically had a higher payoff ratio than tokens or something.

So far I spent 2000 gold and got a little more than 2000 tickets in return. I guess they programmed it to have a 1/1 ratio in the long run (until you get lucky and hit the wings and/or halo), which is good. It's fake money, so the odds should be better than Vegas.

Still, those are some expensive prizes, I say. I still can't even afford a crappy prize, and it feels like I've been playing a while.

Still like it better than fishing.

I don't think there's any trick to this system, either. No degradation of luck like with fishing, or anything like that. No matter when I played or what I did, sometimes I'd have lucky streaks, and sometimes I'd have get nothing on ten spins in a row.

There's no skill involved like with fishing, so if there WAS a trick to the system and people figured it out, everyone would be winning everything. sweatdrop

Probably the only trick is the randomization algorithms which should be random enough not to provide any sort of considerabla advantage in the long run.

Does programming in goddamn Flash even have anything to program 'luck' beyond simple randomisations, even?
