Casino Exploit

[Mike]

It is possible to exploit the boat casino

1. Go to slot machine
2. Save the game
3. Spin the slot
4. If lose, quit to main menu and reload, go back to step 2
5. If win, repeat from step 2

Hi there,

You're right. Any suggestions on how we counter that? We couldn't come up with any smart ideas ourselves :D

God, if I knew you guys will implement a block for this amazing exploit, I would have never bought the game. Let people do whatever they want in the SINGLE PLAYER games THEY PAID FOR! I know about Big Ambitions after playing Startup Company. You know the game YOU made moddable? Well, guess what, CHEATS are also MODS. I modded the heck out of that game and exploited the mods to the fullest. Probably I wouldn't have played it more than 2 hours without mods. Stop ruining your game and let people do whatever they want, it's a SINGLE PLAYER game... For the record, I have 61 hours played in Startup Company and 40 minutes in Big Ambitions (stopped playing when I saw you blocked the saving in Casino and would request a refund but I can't because I bought before it was on Steam :( )

If you knew the team would fix broken things, you never would have bought it? Seems odd.

Nice - that is really cool! Sounds like you'll enjoy modding Big Ambitions in the future as well!

Wait - so - you need to have unlimited money to enjoy the game? I'm really curious here, but why do you need that amount of money in the game in it's current state where owning a building doesen't really to anything else than affect your taxes?

In EA0.1 and EA0.2 owning a building doesen't really provide anything for you. And money that you "gamble" in the casino does not count towards net worth - not even if used on spending. So what is the point in using the exploit? You don't need to have that many shops before your daily revenue will outpace what you can possibly spend on a daily basis.

The game in the current version is fairly easy and within a few hours you are at a place where you can safely expand you business with very little risk. But i guess you don't get that far ahead by playing it for 40 minutes. If you start playing the game like it's supposed to be played, then it will eat away hours to setup the perfect balance from management to distribution.

maybe when you go on the boat all the win/looses are already pre roled so saving on the boat wouldn't make a difference since the game has already decided when the player will win/loose

This doesn't really help because then the player would memorize which machines to play in which order. But this is an older post and the issue has found its solution!
