Croocked tavern money game
Kk so I always got some questions about that game because sometimes I was sure that the ball should be in one place but as a result it wouldn't, so today when I lost a good amount of money (10k) I decided to record that game, pleasantly for me it was pretty easy it should be in the left finger coat but to be 100% sure I also double checked it on the video, and what did I saw... The ball 100% is in the left finger coat but instead it was in the middle... Any explanation Devs? What is going on? We lost a huge amount of money not because we can't track the ball, but because your game don't play by the rules.
P.S. I can post the video as a proof if you need it.

You cannot follow the ball. It is completely random and you have a 33% chance of guessing where the ball is. Does not matter if you look at the screen or close your eyes. :)

The game even hints at this fact by saying "It is a game of fortu...ah I mean dexterity"...so the gambler almost misspoke himself that it was a game of fortune and with no skill involved.

O_o Are you kidding me? Those kind of people always saying things like that but that doesn't necessary mean the ball is in random finger coat... You surprised me big time it would be wise of you to mention that 33% chance somewhere, because from the look of it now that game
pursues one goal to strip a player from whatever he's got.

P.S. 33% chance - so you got 66% chances of losing, pretty nice outcome (3 strikes and 2 of them you lose) - thanx.

It is a click and wait game. You cannot follow the ball as it is the same animation over and over again. The 33% is obvious because there are three cups the ball can be in. :)

Do you even play this game? It's not the same animation, it's always different, if it was the same of course I would understood that smt is wrong.

The ball is not under the same cup all the time, but you cannot follow it. Yes, of course I play the game...have played it for 11 years. ;)

Well I asked because it's strange for a dev who play for 11 years not to know that the animation is differ everytime, agree?

I mean that the animation is the same, looks the same...the cups look alike and you cannot follow the ball.

If there are three cups and the ball is under one of them, the chance is 33%. It's just maths.

You don't understand, I know it's math, but according to you there is no point watching, the cup game is not easy, many times I lost track of the ball, what I didn't knew is that it could be anywhere...

Yes, it is random. Did not matter if you lose track or not as the result is the same. Losing track shows that it must be random as all cups look alike and you simply cannot follow the ball. If the game was based on your eyes and reaction, it would have to be easier, slower, whatever.
