Thread: Fake Lay

So are the anniversary event outfits won for poker are the robes? And can they be worn at the same time with the new accessories, this time? Cause if not, I'll skip it.

I have no idea how you can confirm that... It is literally impossible to do.

I believe it is not rigged, there is no need to rig it, most people will lose anyway. To win you have to use some winning tactics and you must have enough cash to play a lot of games because there are good and bad streaks. Your goal is not to win all hands, but to win more than to lose, so you must have enough cash to survive through bad streaks. This means - don't bet 100 when you only have 100 or even 200 unless you are fine with ending your run quickly.

Blackjack is slightly changed from usual blackjack that I met in other games in player's favor, but still due to bad streaks it is highly likely to lose in it.

In normal blackjack dealer wins if you bust (get more than 21 points on hand). Here dealer still tries to take more cards so she can bust too and that will make it a tie. Dealer always stops at 16 or more. So if you take more cards when at 16 it is less risky than in normal blackjack.

I did manage to get to 1000 points once, then lost it all on unlucky streak. I am surprised they thought it was a good idea to implement gambling games here... Blackjack is enjoyable for me only with save/load feature, otherwise it is just annoying - even if you win a lot, one unlucky streak and you lost it all. No way to save your income.

Yes, nothing can be confirmed, but it can't be denied either. So if it makes the developer profit and it can't be confirmed, why would they not rig it? It's very easy in a software as opposed to a real blackjack game. And yes the dealer does make an enormous effort to lose when you bet low(hits even above 16), but that doesn't seem to be the case at higher bets. From the limited games I've played, when I bet 1, I win about 40-50% of the time, when I bet higher(especially near 100) that drops drastically. You can slow grind it I suppose, but most people don't enjoy gambling or don't like wasting huge amounts of time. I've no idea why they switched up from a skill-based games to luck-based ones... maybe some of them were pretty bad, but all you won were costumes so it was fine. Now you get diamonds and compete, which can make people more competitive, but that can be exploited too. While I'm not accusing them, I don't see why they wouldn't do it.

Because it does not make sense to simplify rules in player favor (let dealer continue after player busts) and then add some hidden mechanics that are rather complicated to implement. If they just wanted to win against players, they could have used normal rules and everything would be perfect - players with basic strategy lose 1% to casino on average according to wiki, players that deviate from that strategy lose even more. By changing rules they allowed players who follow the strategy to win on average, so why invest money in developing something extra to take it back?

You experience observation bias. Try getting to 200 while playing with 1 chip bet and notice the lowest value that you get to. It will take you ages and sometimes you will drop to 70 or even less. Maybe you will even lose all 100 chips eventually depending on your strategy. Dropping to 70 means that you would have lost 3000 on 100 chip bets and because you don't play with 100*100=10000 initial chips each lose on that try is much more noticable than on 1 chip bets try, that's why it feels like it is much easier to win on small bets (because loses are less noticable).

Wiki is live everyone.

what the f?

I haven't seen anyone answer this. Even though the event is almost over, it may be helpful for future events. I also noticed my ticker stopped ticking after some time. Buy something. Anything. The minigame seemed to stop accumulating after a certain number of hours for me, and would always resume when I bought one of the upgrades I'd been leaving sit.

As for the reason the blackjack is "easier" it is probably to compensate for the inability to count cards gone from a shoe, to split pairs, to raise on hits, draw 5,6, or 7 under etc.,

I can't see the Strip game due to being vision impaired, which coincidentally is why I play games of this type in the first place. I've lost count of the times I've quit playing other games because they keep making them prettier with lots of pastel on pastel print and great detail at the cost of contrast and clarity..

I'm happy with the mini-game because it's the only side event I have ever been able to play in this game. Fingers crossed for more like it and even that could use a touch more contrast to be honest.

I was thinking the same thing, I hate not having these options, but it balances out since dealer can bust after you do. Thats a huge advantage honestly.

As for the people wondering about gambling illegally- its perfectly legal since you can only put money in, not take it out. A normal gacha system most games use is just a giant slot machine, but since you dont win physical money its fine. The fact that they changed it here from a gacha to something with a skill component doesn't change anything. Even with playing against others, money is still flowing in just one direction, and thats all that matters.

To be fair implementing a system like that would be easy, but not necessary, since it's pretty obvious where the problem is and it's not hidden at all. The 100 starting credits and the 100 max bet, are what make the game pretty unfair. You can't bet with a standard strategy because you hit your limit at a lose streak of 7, and should you try a more risky strategy with big bets, you can easily lose with an even smaller lose streak of 4-5 which happens pretty often. You may use an advanced strategy to increase your odds, but at that point you're crawling along so slow you're better off not playing and paying, because you're wasting time that can be spent earning money

P.S.I do hope it is legal. Even if money is only flowing in both poker and blackjack are gambling games, you're not winning money when you win, but you're still taking someone else's investment in the game by playing a game of odds. In blackjack's case your investment goes into thin air, while in poker it goes to another player. While the credits can't be converted into real money the concept is still the same- someone is profiting off luck. : /

So, has anyone actually managed to unlock 8 girls to unlock the sex scene? What's that like? Is it like the Halloween and School ones where the girls just appear in a background of an animated sex scene or something?
