@jeremyharrod of course it’s a form of gambling. AB2 plays off addictions to keep people wanting to return to the game. This elevator ‘challenge’ is just a more blatant and desperate way to hook people into spending real cash for virtual awards. Many other game sites (including those for kids, eg ClubPenguin, Webkinz) also subversively teach kids to gamble for prizes using parents’ ca$h as fuel.
@tysylicus: Takes forever to accumulate gems without purchasing them.
Of course it does. See my post above on gem deficit balances.
Thanks @puttekula, you are right- no surprises there. I think the results you report will be typical for most players (unless they get lucky like @sumobro and @james-peden).
BTW that “last pig card spot” method as I mentioned is only an illusion- the game chooses the card at time of clicking, the odds against you are worked into the algorithm (eg upon each click your chances of the pig showing up are 1/4 or 1/3 clicks to begin, likely). I’d be pretty safe to say if you always clicked the first card your odds of hitting the pig will be mostly like similar.
However data scientists all keep in mind that when using a random number generator, even the computer randomly selects certain numbers more times than others ;-)
