An Unfortunate Turn of Events
The Equalist
People have been turning heads after the admins wheeled in their latest feature: The Power Spin. Since many citizens have already written their spin on this feature, there is no need for me to recycle what has already been said. So to keep things on a roll, I'll keep this article very short.
The admins hope citizens will gyrate towards the power spin, veering towards their bank accounts to spend gold. It has come as a twist to the daily events people sweep through every day. Many people see it as a small price to win a big jackpot, but this is just pi in the sky. With an average chance of 1/512, it is likely many people will end up in circles as admins round up their cash.
Ok, that's enough puns for one article.

Daily free spin is good for me. I am not tempted to use any gold on it.

There is no point in circling around the truth. The odds against winning the big jackpot are enough to make your head spin. Better to roll your eyes and turn away. 😉
Your maths is wrong
I wasn't going to calculate the probability while taking the free spin option into account. But I did read your article and I understand where you are coming from. Wanted to keep things simple and fun.
No fun allowed
1/512 is the probability of getting three in a row. Free spin is nothing to do with why you are wrong.

Everybodys maths is wrong unless someone has determined the frequency of hitting the jackpot. I must have spun the bloody thing 50 times without a single jackpot hit. It's a total con. They should tell us the actual probabilities rather than pretending it is random.
I'VE SPENT LOADS OF GOLD!
After wheeling through this article, my head is spinning.
The chances of winning on the spin are not equal. I have tested the mechanism and the chances of getting a Jackpot are much much lower than getting a Rocket. I have played the free spin every day and used some Gold on it. I got the Rocket about 90% of the time.
