Why do we constantly have updates on the casino but never any updates on stuff we really want? #casinooverrated #warringunderdeveloped Pretty soon this game will become one in which gambling is the main feature

All,

Below are tables designed to give you an idea of how long it will take and how much it could potentially cost you to obtain the Jackpot merit given three base-win-rate scenarios. This is derived from Chedburn's recent announcement indicating that the Slot Jackpot win rate increases with the bet size.

NOTE: We do not know the base win rate!

... how'd you spend your lunch hour today?

R+ for the effort. I barely passed basic GCSE math so this makes absolute no sense to me.

For the cost you should also consider that you’ll win a few bill if you land the jackpot

I had a nice sandwich and soup, some tea and I bought some Harry Potter socks online, they say ‘Wingardium LevieTOEsa’.

Faster slot animation was all the motivation I needed to use the tokens built up from 10* TV special, used up 610 tokens and another 75 from refill. I feel that 100k bets is a nice balance between money I can afford to lose and the lust for that slots jackpot honor bar. Might as well do daily casino token refill going forward in case Ched releases the honor bar for 250 Casino token refills :D

You have 0 casino tokens and a current streak of $-8,980,000

Mad props to you for sitting down and working this out

Andyman [471591] 15 Oct 2019, 20:53 TCT · #12

Yeah, I've been hedging that 250 casino refills as well for a few months now.

CloudJumper [1636201]Staff 15 Oct 2019, 20:57 TCT · #13

Also in the news, upcoming honor bars:

22/10/19 - Donate 1b to the church

29/10/19 - Achieve 1 trillion total stats

05/11/19 - Donate 10b to the church

Good luck! :D

You should move this to Tutorials....I'm curious how many people will take your theoretical maths as gospel ;P

lapetitemort [2080158] 15 Oct 2019, 21:33 TCT · #15

Tokens: 12470

I can't math. XD What happens if use that in one day....

PainfulPoetry [327135] 15 Oct 2019, 21:55 TCT · #16

Well I think the most innocent piece of math was Chedburn thinking the Slot Jackpot would increase quickly. In his mind people would spin 10m jackpot chasing with the pot at 2m? Time to have a minimum jackpot prize too. If it never starts at 0 and instead always start at a base of 500m to 1b makes it more attractive. Use the money multis have won on slots jackpot to cover that....

If you use that many in one day, you lose the senses of your index finger for approximately 1.5 days :P
