Toribash Slot Machines [make some money!]
HELLO! Welcome to Toribash Slot Machines
This is an event that works much like a slot machine does. If any of you saw Nachouru's thread, that is where i got this idea from. Since the PromoTeam one is no longer up and working, but there still seemed to be a lot of excitement for this idea, i figured i'd make one myself to keep the excitement going. One major difference: instead of just being able to win 2x or 10x, all bets are now eligable to win any of:
2x
3x
4x
5x
6x
7x
8x
9x
10x!!!
Otherwise, it works just like the promoteam one, and i also guarantee fair bets. I use a method similar to nachouru's to determine the odds, using a random number generator, and neither bet size, nor number of bets have any impact on how the round turns out.
Rules and Procedures:
1. Send between 100 and 10,000 TC to the account "ToribashSlots"
2. Every day at Midnight GMT, i will run the bets on the program i constructed and post the winners in the thread, i will also send the winners posted the TC they won.
3. I ask that no one post false bids in the thread and not actually send TC.
4. Good Luck! I hope you enjoy bidding, and im sure many of you will earn many TC. as im sure you saw in Nacho's thread, the more people that partake in this, the more fun it is!!!
5. You may bet up to 3 times per run [every time i post the winners, you may bet another 3 times]. so 3x10k=okay but 6x5k=not okay. dont want people spamming.
Disclaimer: Although i will strive to run bets every day to the best of my ability, it might not always be at exactly Midnight GMT, especially on weekends. Don't worry though: even if you bid one day and god forbid, the bets dont get run, all bets will be in the next day's run. Also, as the betting program runs based on a random number generator, the number of winners will vary between rounds. If you take part in an unordinarily unlucky round, do not lose heart! it is completely random and you will most likely have better luck if you continue.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Textures may lose quality when resized

Random number generators are random. They WILL average to zero. So what if he gains a profit 3 days strait. If he keeps gaining for two weeks, then it's pretty clear something is not quite right.
That being said, this isn't official and thus the officials can't directly be responsible for anything snowkiller does. Participant discretion is advised.

Fnugget is right about the matter. Events are for the people who participate, not to give the host an opportunity to get rich fast. Blam's statement applies to this event, too.
To compare this with the texture market is like comparing apples with stones. The artists who create the textures have to work for their product, and create (mostly unique) things on their own with creative juices and knowhow of image editing programms - hard to compare to something that could be done by just rolling dice.
In addition to that, nachouru didnt make any profit of the slotmachine, none of the tc went into his pocket, or into the pockets of anybody else except the lucky winners.
Therefore, we require to change the odds of this slotmachine into a non-profit version, otherwise we will have to close this event.
Thanks for understanding.
edit: kind of ninja'd :/
