Slot Machines ARE rigged.
So I did some testing with the slime quest slot machines and the spins are predetermined so don't be fooled by the fact that you can "stop the wheel" when you want.

Basically what I did was set the framerate limit to 1 in the ini and then (very slowly) made my way to the casino. It took like 5 minutes to load the save and run to the slot machine.

I tried to see if I could get the 7's when the were in the frame that lines them up and then rapidly press the button. Sometimes The wheel stopped as soon as I press the button, so I am not sure if I just happen to hit the button at the same time the wheel was going to stop anyways or it lets you stop one of the wheels where you want and has the other two predetermined but I tested for a couple hours and could not get 7's lined up. I think it was always the second wheel where It stoppped immediately with a button press.

Maybe it determines the first one and if you happen to line up the second one it will determine whether it will give you the third one because if I had two dracky symbols for example, and was going for the third, I could mash the button at any point during the third wheel spinning and it would keep spinning until one of the third dracky symbols lined up and then stopped on it. Meaning it was predetermined to give me the third symbol on the last one.

But if I happen to line up two 7's and went for the third, It will not give it to me, it keeps spinning for a bit and then stops.

When the game is going full speed, it gows too fast to notice what it's doing so it gives the illusion that you are stopping the wheel as soon as you press the button.

Thought I would test it out for anyone that cares. Going back to testing my luck now instead.

They are definitely rigged. I'm very very good at unfixed slot machine video games. I can stare without blinking while using a finger to tap out the rhythm of the item I want really frequently, one reel at a time.

In this game I can hit Bar Bar or 7 7 almost every single time, but I will NEVER hit the third one through effort or skill. You are better off just hitting autoplay.

The slots are rigged in the players favor. Are you guys jsut morons? If you want tokens, just set up an autoclicker and run the regular slots overnight. You are garunteed to win big. I've done it three different times and always made out huge.

Roulette is hilariously rigged, but both for- and against- the player.

If you get to the point where you're trying to do a certain little girl's quest, I'd strongly recommend this procedure:
1. Talk to jackpot bunny.
2. If the jackpot is favorable, continue. Otherwise sleep at inn, return to #1.
3. Look at the winning number log and pick the one with the greatest incidence.
4. Place 5 sequential bets on that single number.
5. Get jackpot, or sleep and start at #1 again.

I wouldn't bother going over a few rolls per set.

If you want to be autistic about it, you can add 3 steps between 2 and 3. These probably do nothing but were present on 4 jackpots I got.
2a. Talk to the quest girl.
2b. Talk to the quest guy.
2c. Talk to the puffpuff bunny.

Now to talk a bit about it being rigged; using Cheat Engine and AutoHotKey I had my game automatically betting for the equivalent of around 40-80 hours real-time using CE's speedhack and AHK's automation. (It's a bit hard to judge just how much time compression occured, since the speedhack is restrained by PC performance and fluctuates a bit when running as high as it can go).
I got 7 jackpots during this time.
5 were with jackpot bunny recommendation.
Of those 5, 4 jackpots were as described in the 2a-2c section, and occured on the first handful of bets.
The other was after a few minutes of automation (estimate 20-30 min real-time?)
For cases without bunny recommendation, one jackpot was after somewhere around 10 hours, the other after around 20-30 hours.
The remainder of the time was spent with no results.


It'd be interesting to see someone rip the exe apart and pull the actual code for it, to see what things are actually occuring and what are flukes / random.

He's talking about the slime slots. Who's the moron again?

TC this is fascinating stuff, but also disappointing. Thanks for your time and effort testing this out!
