I think anyone playing for a long time and KEM farming for donuts have felt like getting a single donut in a box seems to happen a lot. In order to test whether it comes up more I kept track over hundreds of openings while only choosing the middle box and I got 1 donut 66.6% of the time or 2/3. This should have only happened 33.3% of the time. Having three options implies that the user has an equal chance of getting one, two or three donuts. At the very least in a game where said prizes are also available for real world money I think accurate odds should be made extremely clear in game. Has anyone else tested this? Very disappointed in the Simpsons virtual 3 card monty.

How did you determine that the amount of openings you did ("over hundreds") was a sufficient number of openings?

If you don't like getting 1 most of the time how about you buy them instead. :)

just keep opening until you get 3

Nope. Always feels random and fair to me.

For me, I can get 2 or 3 donuts pretty frequently...as long as I'm "trying". Good luck!...

i've read somewhere that if you speak well of EA on the forum it improves your odds and that it is a cumulative thing. something to keep in mind.
