Roulette

[zatchpotter]

Roulette has just come out. Takes 30 stam per round, but I'm more taken with it's Trophy.

Let It Ride - 10 Points
Bet a Monster Drop on 11 in Roulette - and won

I'm thinking almost no one will do this, unless there's some kind of trick to it.

 

[Megaolix]

Here's the strategy I imagined: Buy cheap Kaiju drops at MarketPlace and take a chance. 1:24 is just a little above 4%, but you do get 24 of the drop if you win.

Besides, considering I broke 3 things at 1% break chance in Zombja in less than a day, odds aren't THAT bad.

 

[cilrais]

still easier than winning over11 or getting the glow

 

[zatchpotter]

Still, for lower seasons it will be impossible. I'm about to loop to season 3 and I don't even have one drop. Although, once I get Terri 3 that will be easier.

 

[jwolf0]

Or else bet drops on Black/Red High/Low until you build up a good amount of drops to play with.

 

[cilrais]

betting monster drops when the odds are worse than the payout seemslike a bad way to build up a stockpile of drops.

Agreed.

As a whole the odds are fuck-awful. Worse then a real Roulette.

 

[nantukoprime]

As far as I can tell, no trick.

Ally is gotten from winning stupid amounts of ryo, apparently.

My luck at getting Let It Ride, not so good. I refuse to bet my big money monster items.

Odds for a single event are better than real roulette though, so it evens out if you are a go big or go home type.

Oh, I agree totally. Suffice it to say that's one Trophy I'm not going for anytime soon.

 

[SEG-CISR]

I bet a Storybook page to try it out, and got one back. Ooh, then bet 50k ryo.

Lost. :blue:

I wonder what the hell McM was thinking when he worked out the numbers?

But even still this might be ahead of The First Loser's trophy, which is just fucking retarded.

 

[rocsflight]

Odds are pretty bad.

11:
-(25/26) + (24/26) = -1/26 House Edge: ~3.85%

Green:
-(20/26) + (18/26) = -1/13 House Edge: ~7.69%

Non-11 Numeric/Elemental:
-(24/26) + (22/26) = -1/13 House Edge: ~7.69%

Black/Red/Low/High/Even/Odd:
-(15/26) + (11/26) = -2/13 House Edge: ~15.38%


Betting on 11 is a better bet than betting on American Roulette though.

 

[nantukoprime]

11's pay out is now 25:1.

Go big or go home, it's your best bet in the long run.

 

[cilrais]

the ally is from winning 1,000,001 or more ryo on a single bet

 

[rocsflight]

11's pay out is now 25:1.

My math was done with the 25:1 payout.

 

[nantukoprime]

Yes, I know.

It used to be 24:1 though, so it was important in itself to note in my mind.

 

[SEG-CISR]

Roulette is now S2-only, apparently.

That was quick.

 

[ar_ranma]

It should have been S2 in the first place.
Some newbies probably lost everything and started bawing. Well on top of the alt abuse.
