How are people good at the throwing circle in Fortune Bell?

[Vincent]

I've measured it against the backdrop to get consistent releases, but it's still all over the place. How the hell are people getting the combo into the thousands, I can't barely make it into double digits...

The timing is exactly the same for every throw. You can either master holding the button for 0.65 to 0.75 seconds, or you can just use an Autohotkey macro to do that for you.

I kind of use a visual cue.
It's somewhere around when the sprite of the dude throwing the ball lowers down so the hem of his shirt, or whatever it is, is about the touch the frame of the minigame window.

Also, I think if you bring an ally who can cast healing spells on you, you can slightly extend how long you can play by healing through the exhaustion damage a bit.

let the previous throw finish completely before you start the next one

if you don't want to cheat or don't want to install autohotkey, you can just google 'metronome'.

Add me for the macro, I'll send you the autohotkey file. I don't really want to post it here publicly in case.

Just got this as item as a reward from a package. Wondering if it's worth keeping in base to farm chips or just sell

actually change the first sleep 700 to 710, that seems to get it every time

I use macro with my Logitech mouse software to repeat throwing with a 0.7 second delay.

650 actually works better. It doesn't hit the backboard at all, just straight into the net. It's 100% consistent and slightly faster.

If you don't want to save scum blackjack, or macro basketball, the slot machine is actually timing based and isn't that difficult to hit the jackpot once you get the timing down. Pretty quick 10k tokens a pop.
