Steam Achievements for Casino In-Game Achievements?

[Nan]

What's your opinion on Grey Havens adding the in game achievements related to the Golden Slime Casino to Steam?

That includes:
-Lichen your Luck! (Play the slots 100 times)
-Sore Winner (Hit a Whammie)
-High Roller (Play 10k times)
-C.U.B.E. Club Membership (Buy the Membership)
-Degenerate Gambler (Play 100k times/1m times, we still don't know which one it is)

In the worst case scenario, Degenerate Gambler could require 1m plays, but that's only 20k plays as you can play 50 times per roll if you're a member, so it doesn't take much time (12 hours tops, and having enough Crowns to keep gambling even if you lose some most of the time).

Personally, I'm for it, and I know Grey Haven's isn't against the idea of adding something THIS grindy, especially since at some point we had the mineral achievements on Steam, and the hardest one required using 10k.

all except degenerate gambler are fine.
but that one isnt. with slot machines, it seems as if you have a roughly 10% loss on average and it does indeed take a million rolls to get it.
that means you need to spend 20 million crowns on a single achievement. thats about 250kCE, or over 500 dollars worth of crowns.
the mineral achievement wasnt necessarily grindy, it was simply an achievement that took a long time to complete. you couldnt really pay to speed things up (outside of paying for elevators), since minerals are bound.

Thing is, even if you keep losing, and I don't think it's as high as 10%, you're still getting most of your money back, so if you start with a million Crowns, you're sure to roll the slots so much that you'll end up spending more than 20m from your gains.
I get what you mean, and in a way it'd be the hardest achievement on Steam for this game, but in a way I think that's good because it'll push some people to try and get it.

first off, no, I have watched my money carefully when going for the 10k one and it is roughly 10% loss on average.
you also didnt seem to understand my math, so let me be a bit clearer.
rolling a million rolls costs 200 million crowns. what you get back in my experience is 180 million crowns from all those rolls, leaving you with 20 million lost. that happens no matter how many crowns you actually start with, in the end you will lose about 20cr per roll. if you start with a million crowns, it just means you would run out of money at around 50k rolls.

but it wouldnt be a hard achievement. all it would be is an expensive achievement, a ridiculously expensive achievement even.
anyone could drop 500 dollars on SK and burn it rolling for the achievement. that isnt hard. an achievement should be something you actually, you know, achieve. dauntless delver is a good achievement since it shows you put in a lot of skill, effort and time on something difficult. the mineral achievements were good ones because they showed the time you dedicated to playing. an achievement that is essentially "money please!" is not a good achievement.

Press X to doubt. I'm fairly certain no one would ever push themselves into grinding Vanaduke for a life time supply of money when you can just pay for it.

Let's just be clear that none of the actual SK achievements have ever been grindy or anything.
Like Sebastian has said, Legacy Mineral achievements took a long time to complete in the past. That one was hard to get; remember that Mist Energy was a thing and we were paying for the damn elevators.

The Casino achievements are just... expensive. Yet again I'm quoting Sebastian's words:

Which is an stupid investment to begin with, but if you like the game THAT much... I mean, go for it. I ain't someone to judge.

The only actual "expensive" achievement is Fully Loaded.

Well, here i am. The Madman. Didn't spend a single cent on the game yet. Also didn't get the Achievement yet, but i already burned 1 Million Crowns trying to get it, all Vanaduke farmed ^-^ And i will continue doing it until i get the Achievement :D

Forgot to update this thread, I got the achievement a while back myself, and you indeed needed 1m plays to get it, you could get it in one afternoon if you only use the 50x plays.
