Level 56 - 7 stamina / 8 roll count too

I'm curious about the lower levels. Didn't really pay attention to such details but it's interesting.
Two possible outcomes:
1. Nutaku just silently increases things coz $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
2. OP is mistaken and it was always 8 rolls as Chillin says.
Can anyone else confirm?

The min recommended level for a free user is 30. At this point you should have more than 200 stamina.

However, (paid) booster packs offered at lower levels can give a ton of peronamin to start the hunt. At 1st perogambit they offered an enhanced pack (with event gacha tickets plus the usual).

I made a spreadsheet documenting the stamina cost / roll count for levels 100-Ex Lvl for Gambit 2, so I'm not going off of memory with that. I didn't track it this time, because I assumed it would be the exact same. However, I noticed that with a number of the levels in Gambit 3 I was doing 1 extra roll to get to the Choice of Fate... but by the time I noticed I was already around stage 150ish and didn't feel like it was significant enough of a change to document specifics again. However, I can assure you, Ex Lvl in Gambit 2 was exactly as I documented in my original post.

I noticed that only at 2nd phase (Stages 101-120)
