The casino at the moment is easily the best way to earn money, which means most people are gonna sit there for most of the time, But why don’t we either nerf the casino payouts or buff the unite gain from all the minigames.
I honestly don’t know why this has not been done yet, its a social game but you earn more from looking at a slot screen than from playing with friends.
No, it’s easy to lose money in the casino, even more would be horrible.
And the idea is to be free, people can do what they want to so if they decide to go to the casino it’s their problem
If you lose money in the casino you must be doing something horribly wrong.
Spin To Win, Double Or Nothing and also Poker, there you lose a lot if you aren’t lucky
For right now I think the money you gain from the casino is fine.
There’s not a lot of things in the game that can give you a big chunk of units quickly aside from bowling, so reducing the payout would ultimately enforce players to sit and grind for longer. Which isn’t good at all!
Once the metal detector finally works as well as fishing there will be new and fun ways to get large stashes of units from finding rare treasures and fishing rare items. Perhaps then you will see large amount of players move away from the seats of casino to the beaches of the plaza…
I have been in the casino for 3 hours and 30 minutes and I only won 25.000k, you can win that in less time in minigames.
and people dont play those. they play the slots. and grand quest, even with its 3/5 bet nerfs, still has a 1:1 jackpot growth if you do 1 bets, meaning if you sit there, you are still guaranteed profit. no slot machine that i have ever heard of has a guaranteed profit.
casino should be very high risk, very high reward. triple diamond is close to that ideal balance, wheel of money is maybe a tad extreme (but definitely the right idea). winning a jackpot should be a true achievement, something people talk about. and the meanwhile, sitting there for 8 hours shouldnt guarantee you to come out with an extra 2 million profit.
i know people complained about gmt casino being unrewarding, and thats fair. but casino is currently too rewarding. i dont think other non casino games need payout buffs (at least not major ones), but you shouldnt be able to sit in a casino all day and always come out with more than you entered with. that defeats the whole idea of a casino, even from a gameplay and fake currency perspective.
you must be playing casino wrong if you only got 25k. i get that much in under an hour thanks to the absurd payouts of grand quest. and that was back when i had no cash and did 1 bets to be cautious. and im talking pure profit by the way. thats 25k extra i get out of the machine. number is a lot higher if i include whatever im putting in (i dont leave until i payout, otherwise its a loss).
i agree with xmarksit. for now, it should be ignored. there are only 2 or 3 gamemodes people actually play (virus and planet panic need tons of work), and typing derby and bowling in the lobby. once more games are added and the profit pool is larger, we can properly discuss ways to balance everything so that people play more than one thing. i can see laser tag helping (people have been clamoring for pvp to come back), and the arcade seems similar enough to the casino it might split the population (even has its fair share of mindless button mashers that could possibly pay well). arcade will probably have exclusive stuff like spin to win, so that would definitely entice people.
Well the game world payouts have been massively increased when the casino came out they use to be alot lower and all the payouts are fine they way they are. Some ppl just like the casino because they can’t go waist they real money so they use the in game casino. Not everyone wants to play monigames. I know a few ppl who only got the game for casino and to fuck around and not play the mini games
The amount of times I’ve seen this exact post is annoying me now.
This type of thread was just posted recently and continues to be posted.
As for developer replies:
I’m hyped!
