Slots vs Dice: join the experiment

For me Moe's is infinitely better than the dice game.

This is an excellent initiative karakira4s!

In the absence of being able to look up the source code (which I understand is too convoluted to do at this point), large set statistical analysis is the only way to get the answers to the questions we have had all over these forums! Unfortunately I can't help out since my strategy is to spend them all in Act 3, but hopefully you get some participants for your experiment - it looks well designed and thought out.

Thank you anaquarind! I made another 2 rounds and Dice is still leading. Wish you luck with your strategy, sounds like it requires patience and willpower. :)

Apart from good ol' pencil-n-paper, do you have a viable suggestion for how I might package the data for you?

Thank you, it would be great if you join! I can create a table on google docs for example, but later, now it's dinner time and I will get some free time in 2.5-3 hours, when my family will go to bed. :) If you can't wait it would be nice if you just could do the same table on a paper and then send me a photo of it via PM, since we are in different time zones I will have the whole day to process your data.

I don't need to do tables on what games I have available. I do know, that Gaming Moe's has better odds. Moe's gets you a humongous more amount of chips than Cletus' cruddy Dice Den. Since I don't have Homer's House of Cards, I can't compare that yet, but, as far as i'm concerned, Moe's is my choice for blowing gold coins, plus it rewards more coaster, key chains, and now, a ton of martini's, plus, Sky Finger told me, that there are several Floozies that frequent Moe's, so, what Sky Finger says, stays in Vegas. That's my story, and i'm sticking to it.

I think because people win more times in Moes they think it's better but at the dice game, you win more chips if you do win. Also, it would depend what number you pick at the dice game because if you always pick 7 you won't get as much if you always pick 2

I did a really quick and small test (of 4 on each) and got 400 on the dice game (always picking 12) and then 595 on the slots game (0, 175, 400 cheat, 20)

I had collected a lot of chips from act 1 and did my own statistics in the afternoon: 50x Moe and 110x Cletus (10 for each number).
If you are interested I will search my notes later.

In Act 1, it took me a wHile to get to level 2 crafting, but by choosing 9 repeatedly (mindlessly tapping in the same spot) at Cletus', it took no time to reach level 3. It seemed like everything helped me advance.

Just my experience.

Ahh spreadsheets the delicious fruit of numbers.... there is a specific pattern for some rolls like when choosing 2 as a lucky number in dice den you'll get 4, 4, 11 when losing, or a 3,5,7.
while i havent written them down, definitely for this act if i sit down and spend some i'll write it down.

For coasters, horse shoes, courtesy chips i think dice den is better, mainly because you can choose a higher number specifically to lose and reel in those courtesy chips, and= on the off chance that you win you get 400 it's a win win, so if you ever get a "acquire courtesy chip" daily task you know: choose Dice Den.

No trouble. I can wait. A Google Doc will work just fine. :)

Sent you PM with link and details. Hope it will work. :)
