I'm trying to compute what the odds are on slots. Next time you play, will you please post here to tell me how many tokens you spent and how many tickets you won?

Over time, I should get a pretty good idea of what the odds are!

I just spent 100 tokens and won 233 tickets.

Sure, I'll help you out by posting here. However, you may want to PM LOTF. At one point, I think he actually calculated the odds of getting each image on the slot reels, which gave the odds of getting 3 of a kind of any image. He might still have that information stored somewhere. Hope that helps!

I've already got info in that - Calculated on a theory, however.

Thanks, LOTF. I hadn't considered taking the mathematical approach! Very interesting ...

I just started with 97 tokens and ended up with 66 tickets. Not stellar.

I'm going to read LoTF's post when I get back to Texico from Crimbo...I'm sure it will be quite edifying.

I have to say you've got dedication, Fresnel...congrats on your really cute ruff!

I think I had 89 when I started and ended with over 300. I had 2 box-box-box ^_^.

I'm almost up to 2k tickets, Fresnel!
