Gameshow ticket THUNDERDOME

First off, I don't know who to thank for improving the spin verb for game show tickets, but if I could make you pancakes every morning for a week wearing only an apron and black gold-toe socks in return I'd do it!

A while back I spunned [sic] over 400 tickets to calculate yield odds and average ticket value.  A player recently asked me if I'd checked tickets since the yields had changed.  It hadn't occurred to me, but thanks in large part of SchWM and Aleph Zero, and to the api sites that helped me find tickets for sale in towers, I was able to spin over 500 tickets!  Here are the results:

puh-rize              #         value         odds
bean                  40             1             8%
5c                     71              5            14%
25c                    50            25            10%
100c                  33          100             6.6%
500c                  29          500             5.8%
blue snocone      20            57            7.6%
green snocone      6          115            1.2%
orange snocone  11           230            2.2%
red snocone         6           459            1.2%
purp snocone       2           842            0.4%
ticket                  30           na             6%
xs1                     39          306            7.8%
xs2                     45          306            9%
bb3                     33          383            6.6%
dg4                     38          459            7.6%
dr5                      32          536            6.4%
cubi1                    3         5015            0.6%
cubi2                   12        5015            2.4%

Total currant yield: 182812c (sold to tool vendor with none of the buyback-related upgrades, except cubimal boxes which are listed at cost to buy from toy vendors).

Average ticket value: 365.62c, an increase in value of 122.47c over the old tickets.  

Here's a link to the old thread: http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/18606/

In case you're curious, none of the cubi boxes yielded rare or semi-rare cubis and tickets that yielded a ticket as a win were re-spun (so data collected is actually from 530 spins).  I thought about calculating img value from donating won items, then I thought that would bore the hell out of me and I had some cucumbers with yogurt irl instead.

Love you, Glitch!

  • Had I known you were doing this, I'd have sold all my tickets to you at 1c each! Fantastic data!

  • Just a note for your consideration: I have recently spun two tickets, and in both consecutive spins I got a cubi box (can't remember the series). This happened just inches from a donation altar. 

    Do you think it was just incredibly good luck, or the location might have an effect on spins?

  • I've gotten quite a few cubi boxes from spins, one off them gave me an extra Hells Bartender...

  • Have noticed I seem to be more likely to get a music block if near a shrine, may be coincidence.  Also noticed that if i wait until I get home to spin, the prizes seem to be the bean or 5c ones.  This may just be coincidence.

    Ayzad, that is incredibly lucky!  Think I have had 3 or 4 cubimal boxes in all the time I have been playing.  They were all commons.

  • Thanks you for your hard work and research!  

    I feel like the first cubimal I ever got was from a game show ticket spin.  Now I'm slowly trying to collect them all via the Toy Vendor.  Stupid enabling spinny wheel...

  • First cubimal I ever got was a Rook and it was from a gameshow ticket. It IS possible, folks!

  • Aw, tis, that's lovely!

    Ayzad, it's highly unlikely that spin yield is determined even in part by where the ticket is activated.  Seems like extra programming work to me! ;)

    Miss Parsley, cubi boxes are much more common than they used to be.  Try again!

    Finally, I need to amend my pancake offer: one of my black socks has a hole in the toe.  It sorta ruins the whole effect....

  • This wont spare your pillow, Sloppy.  Just so you know.

  • I just spun in my tower and got a series 2 cubi box.  So I'm pretty sure location doesn't matter.
