Another article prompted this . The player complained that he spend 670 Gold and did not even once hit the jackpot
😠
For a person familiar with programming its easy to understan
😛
This is the jackpot area. It appears similar size to all other areas. So normal logic would be that chance of hitting jackpot = 1 divided by number of sectors which is 1/8 = 12.5 percent.
You will see that each sector has exactly the same nodes or grooves being 5.
Yet we all know that power spin is not a correct representation of computer algorithm that determines prizes.
Probably what happens is that certain values is loaded more into our array/vector/stack or queue. Therefore lets say 100 values is loaded
normal stuff would be 90 out of 100 other less regular stuff would be 9 out of the 100 and finally your jackpot would be 1 out of the 100.
So I would call randomization
nbrselected = rnd * 100
or whatever values would be used to give me exactly 1 out of a 100.
and that value would be prize you won.
So new power spin would probably look something like this with red line your chance doubled at winning the jackpot.
Probably done in original way to get full graphics there and not to represent actual engine below it.
But here is the truly sad fact. Other companies would load your dice after a while inserting more and more of the jackpot into the array/* thereby increasing your chances of hitting it..not erep.
It seems erep is content with you rollin' and rollin' and rollin' and rollin'
For the sake of fairness admins can just correct me if im wrong and explain true working of game .

I would guess that it is set up similar to a slot machine. You have a chance to win, but the odds are set up so that, in the long run, more money will be put into it than is taken out. One person may beat the odds and win the jackpot with a single free spin, while the next spends this 670 gold without winning.
It's gambling. If the odds were in your favor, they wouldn't have it in the game. I used to run a gambling operation inside of Everquest, and long was the line of suckers who thought they could beat obviously bad odds. If someone approaches the wheel in the expectation of making a profit, I have a bridge between Cork and Cardiff that I would like to discuss selling to them.
in other games you win everything if you spend a lot. your dice is loaded or they offer bigger deals only in a bigger paying option. old time favorite would be poor man chest vip chest etc. where you would win only rare stuff if you spend really big amounts of money.
good point, use a lesser prize to lure people into spending more money
I am not sure about the title. .
Monkeys like bananas....
For them getting banana is kind of reward while this erep wheel is not much rewarding as it is frustrating
😛
yes perhaps they are the monkeys. power spin is just bs
I won the jackpot +100% damage for 24h I was happy...for 0.0001 second
Interesting, I voted because I would like to see how it exactly works as well.
