Flower Slot Machine (OPINIONS PLEASE!)

[ThePayne22]

If you could read through this all and comment below, I would really appreciate it.

So I was chillin out and I thought of something:

I have too many flowers and I want the train station upgrade. Why not kill 2 birds with one stone?

So here's what I thought of...

THE FLOWER SLOT MACHINE!​

Basically I wrap up 300 flowers and place them neatly in my town, recording the colour of each for record. Within these flowers, 5 will be Gold Roses. Then the game will begin!

Participants pay 5 TBT to "spin". This allows them to enter my town one by one, and choose three gift-wrapped flowers. Of course to prevent any cheating, I will monitor participants closely and observe which bags they have chosen. Thus we come out to the payouts...

3 Matching Flowers = 10 TBT
1 Gold Rose = 50 TBT
2 Gold Roses = 250 TBT
3 Gold Roses = 1000 TBT!!
​

...and if you don't win, you at least leave with your 3 flowers.

Of course, I will post all starting odds, including the number of each flower at the beginning of the game, and will update regarding how many gold roses remain.

Now this is a HUGE task for me to set up, so before I go all gun-ho on the project, I want to see how well this kind of game would be received by you all. So please provide feedback above in the poll. And if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, tell me below and I'll be happy to talk to you.

If this gets enough support, you can expect the slot to open up August 1st.

It seems interesting, but I'd like to know the odds of winning before I participate. Do you have lists of Flower Types + Quantity Yet?

Im expecting it to be like 75 red roses and 3-10 of each other normal flower. I may also throw in a few spare hybrids, depending on the odds I calculate later.

This is still very much an idea in progress, I literally came up with this today. As far as my result, it will range from a 250 TBT gain to a 500-750 TBT loss, though most likely I will break even or come out a little bit above.

Bump! I really need input guys; I want to know whether I'm doing this or not by Saturday.

Also, I calculated the odds of the Triple Rose jackpot as 1:445510.
However, the odds of hitting the 10x Single Rose Bonus is 1:100, which ain't too bad.

Bump le bump for the later crowd.

It sounds like a fun idea to me, I'd give it a shot if you did it. ^.^

 

[ThePayne22]

Another bump.

This is really creative! I'd love to participate in it if you do do it

If I was online when it happened, I would do it.

Another bump! I'm liking the feedback I'm getting so far, so it looks like I will probably do it.

We should be opening up August 1st and lasting for about 2 weeks.

This sounds like a really neat idea! I'm sure it'll kick off to a great start. I'm hoping to see it happen!
