$100 on Teller Machine Event, no #10. Feedback/thoughts?

[psxnitro]

After getting to 9/10 a day ago, been on a fail open streak using cash, now that I've switched to free option, I'm getting more opens... this event mechanics is bananas...

[GazLegend]

I've been really lazy and used cash only and opened like 6 per day and I'm on nine

I don't even give half a sh!t about the end prize this event. I just want the vehicle at #9. I stuck on 8 for the emerald burner event, and I stuck on 8 for whatever event it was that had the ammo blaster as the prize for #9. I have made it to 9 or 10 in all other events, so it gets pretty annoying to get stuck at 8 when all you want is 9 and you are normally able to get it.

I got stuck on 8 the last event and spent about 250 gold during it. I suppose that's why I went ahead with the $100, thinking it would do the trick. Oh well, I did get the car and I do still have a 0.x% chance of getting #10 now, so it's not all so bad, LOL!

Guys, you know you'll get it in the last couple of hours if you keep spending gold.
The problem is you've already spend over your limit. I got Crazy Runner like that. Had to spend about 1,700 gold and got it within 2 hours left. Same with RPG, just spent way much less (about 540g). Got 10th with 3 hours to go.

If you got 8. That's a different story. All bets are off.

I'm stuck on 3 with over 100 opens.

I have been participating in all events thus far though, so this must be the declining success rates i heard about

Hearing this makes me super excited about the gold I've used thus far

Fellow Crime City Addicts:
It's truly a shame you can spend $100, open up 75 teller machines with gold(1405 gold), buy stamina refills, buy resets and still not get #10.

Your experience is exactly why Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency started investigating Funzio's parent company Gree last month. There is considerable doubt in Japan whether events like these are actually legal. When the investigation was announced, Gree's stock plunged almost 25%. Not coincidentally, just the week before this investigation was made public, Gree announced its plans to acquire Funzio. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm guessing that the US doesn't have laws expressly prohibiting these kinds of events.

BTW - I have 9, all cash opens.

Yeah I learned not to spent money on events, did early and nothing so extrictly tj gold for events. Save gold for crates from now on.

I told my wife that I spent $100 only during Minigun event (+30% cheaper upgrades) but really I have to spend edditiOnal $20 to get it. And I'm sure that I would spend more if needed. I can not stop in the half of the way after spending $100 alreAdy.

And I was really happy when I got the final prize. $20 is nothing when u spent $100 before.

Yes!!! Thanks for that! Nothing like a simple box score to bring reality back into focus

I posted this from another thread about chances and stats of going from 9 to 10:

36 opens for a 50% chance. (4 days with no gold, and 6 hours sleep, or 2 days with 540 gold)
70 opens for a 75% chance. (7 days, 14 hours, or 4 days, 16 hours with 1050 gold)
116 opens for a 90% chance. (13 days 16 hours, 6 days 8 hours with 1740 gold)

From 9 you had 32 opens. This means with that much gold, you had about a 48% chance of obtaining the item.

So you are saying with 35 gold opens just trying to go from 8-9, that I should just stop the bleeding? Lol, I'm fcuked.

It depends, from the information on the last couple of events, the chances of getting item #10, (not including 8-9) is considerably less than hitting a single number on a roulette table.
