While we may see fewer guesses posted on this thread over the weekend, our contest will continue. You&#039;ll remember that the purpose of the contest was to encourage Coin Talk Members to log on daily (or at least several times a week) to stimulate activity on the forum. For those of you who will be traveling over the weekend, consider taking a few minutes to log on and post your guess with your smart phone.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><span style="color: #0000ff">As always, there will be at least 21 hours between spins (or 24 if someone is &#039;Jackpot Qualified&#039;).</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p>-----------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff"><b>I&#039;ve enjoyed the banter between players about the mapping the reels, the frequency of the symbols on the reels, and the mathematics of this particular machine. </b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><b>When I created the rules for our contest, I first had to map the reels</b> to determine the odds of winning, and structure the game rules so that the game would last a reasonable amount of time (not too long and not too short). I should also note that this slot machine has no internal adjustments for jackpot frequency or payoff odds. Your odds of winning appear to be solely determined by mechanical chance, based on the number of times that each symbol is printed on each reel.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff"><b>Before we conduct today&#039;s spin, here&#039;s a few more statistics:</b></span></p><p>Number of spins it took to map one reel: <b>6 </b></p><p>Number of spins it took to map two reels: <b>11 </b></p><p>Number of spins it took to map three reels: <b>15 </b></p><p>Number of spins it took to map the last reel: <b>28</b></p><p>Number of times <span style="color: #ff8c00"><b>ORANGE</b></span> stopped on the first reel in those 28 spins: <span style="color: #ff8c00"><b>9</b></span></p><p>Number of reels correctly mapped by <span style="color: #0000ff"><b><i>Porsche2007</i></b></span> in Post#336: <span style="color: #0000ff"><b>3</b></span></p><p>Highest pay off by the machine in those 28 spins: <span style="color: #0000ff"><b>BELL BELL BELL ---</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #ff0000">Now, on to today&#039;s results:</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k481/thecointrader/03b38fed.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000"></span><b><span style="color: #ff0000">For those of you who cannot view images, the results were:</span>&nbsp; ORANGE&nbsp; BELL&nbsp; PLUM&nbsp; PLUM</b></p><p><br /></p><p>A video of the reels spinning and stopping may be available at this link.&nbsp; The filename is &#039;Spin 5-25&#039;:</p><p><br /></p><p>[video]http://s1112.photobucket.com/albums/k481/thecointrader/?action=view&amp;amp;current=40d0db1e.mp4[/video]</p><p><br /></p><p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Everyone who guessed ORANGE on the first reel earns extra spins. </b></span><b>Figure them out yourself, please. </b> In the event that someone guesses all four symbols tomorrow, I will review the last few days of guesses to make sure that the contestant hasn&#039;t taken too many guesses, so double check before posting.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Congratulations to <span style="color: #ff0000">K2coins</span> and <span style="color: #ff0000">Snapsalot</span> for correctly guessing the first three reels, but missing <span style="color: #0000ff">PLUM</span> on the fourth.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Congratulations to <span style="color: #ff0000">Porsche2007</span> for correctly guessing the final three reels, but missing <span style="color: #ff8c00">ORANGE </span>on the first.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff"><b>Prizes for our previous winners have been mailed, and tracking numbers sent by Private Message.</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<span style="color: #FF0000"><b></b></span></p><p><span style="color: #FF0000"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="color: #FF0000"><b>Contest within a contest:</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<b>A special numismatic gift <span style="color: #ff0000">($15 value)</span> will be sent to the first person to correctly map the reel that Porche2007 had incorrect.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Post your guess publicly in this thread.&nbsp; </b>All previous spins are available to view in this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>You do NOT need to post the symbols for the three reels that Porsche2007 had correct.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Just post the Reel Number that was incorrect, and the symbols in correct order.</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #008000"><b>You may begin posting your <u>Spin Guesses</u> and <u>Reel Guesses </u>now.</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #008000"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="color: #008000"><b>&nbsp;<i>Good Luck!</i></b></span></p><p><br /></p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
