Hitting The Wheel Jackpot

Treat machine jackpot was "given" recently to most of the players (if not all) last week. It was not by chance. May be some promotional scheme. One of my friend received it on at least three of his accounts and he has 4 or 5 accounts.

Hey dude,

You seem very enthusiastic about the Booster Wheel jackpot. I also got it a week ago. That's not why I'm writing though. ☺

You're talking about frequency and stuff but I believe it has nothing to do with that. It's most probably just RNG. Coming from an MMO computer game - TERA - that, very sadly, got shut down on its 10th anniversary (may Candy Crush be around for another 10 years! 😇), I've learned a thing or two about "chance".

This said, there's no frequency on a personal level. It's like percentage chance to get the jackpot. Say, 5% chance for it would mean guessing one out of 5 numbers among 100 numbers overall. It's like rolling a dice. The catch is if you get the jackpot today, that means, say, 100 other people won't get it, so things remain balanced as a whole, i.e. they aren't interested in giving the jackpot to too many people at once.

As for the wheel itself - it's just an animation to illustrate the result of what the server told your game. When you tap "Stop", your game sends a reward request (a packet) to the server. The algorithm almost instantly decides what reward you'll get and sends a reply to your game (another packet) which then makes the wheel stop at the pre-determined spot. At least that's how it worked with the computer game.

Of course, "chance" in CC could work differently. For instance, I've noticed that the final Sweet Cinema reward is almost always a lollipop hammer which is way, way too much of a coincidence.

Hope this helps. ☺
