Gran Turismo 7 Holiday Season Login Bonus Campaign Returns for 2024

[HarVee]

Homeless: Hey, mister, spare some change?

PD: Here's a part for a car you don't own. Happy holidays. Scum.

Oh well, that's the equivalent of being gifted socks on Christmas when you were a kid 😂

I liked my socks, they were warm, wool, and knitted....

The free cash is welcome, I’m not getting much cash from daily sport races so this is welcome as is the online time trials - I’m on my Ferrari menu and those bad boys are expensive 😁

First roulette was for Stroke Up S for NSX R ‘02.

Edit: Logged in for Day 2 Cr. 100,000.

I just don't get this issue some people have. Yeah...the lowest prizes have the highest probability of being awarded. Obviously. The roulette wheel is just a visual thing. The dice were rolled and the prize was determined the second you first received the ticket. Sure, it's a clumsily implemented system and I'd argue the prizes should be on average a lot better (actually, I wish the prize was just awarded when you open the ticket - just forget making me watch a cartoon), but once you are aware of how it works (which becomes obvious pretty quickly) it really doesn't matter. A wheel that visually represented the actual probabilities would be fine too, but ultimately it doesn't change anything.

Agreed! I guess what irks me is the needlessly poor design of the in-game roulette. The roulette made good sense when it was cars only in previous iterations of Gran Turismo. They carried that over but now use it in a context in which it makes little sense.

As far as I'm aware, you'll never see a prize on a Roulette Ticket that isn't possible (edit: that is of higher value than is possible) to win from a ticket of that level. The roulette shows you the one prize you're going to get regardless and four others pulled from the pool of possible prizes from that kind of ticket - and it's also shown in a specific way. Ever noticed how you get the same credit reward every time on those all-credits tickets?

Yes, this is true. I think my record is to win 1,000,000 cr with a 3- or 4-star ticket, I don't remember exactly. It happens, it is just insanely rare. Which makes sense if you match the average payout of a ticket to the number of stars. Which, again, makes sense economically, but is misrepresented by the 5 possible prizes shown for a ticket.

It's also pre-determined, not rigged. Rigging requires a benefit on behalf of the rigger.

Yes, point taken. Thank you!

And, again, even on the Daily Marathon, what you get is additive: it's a bonus you wouldn't receive otherwise.

I would like to point out that I am mainly talking about the lottery ticket system as a whole, not specifically the holiday season tickets. The latter I welcome, as I see it as a free bonus you don't have to do anything for other than start the game. The parts ticket ended up as a stage 5 weight reduction for a NISMO GT-R '17, which I don't need, but it is what it is. Also, this is the "lowest reward" holiday ticket given out for the first login, the other ones appear to be quite substantial.

As for improving the ticket system, just an idea about parts tickets: when you buy parts for a car in the tuning shop, the game could cross-check if you already have a specific part in your inventory and display this in the tuning shop. Maybe even offer you then and there to choose between buying the part new or installing the part from your inventory for free. That doesn't help with parts for cars you may never use cough*pacecars*cough, but at least you wouldn't forget parts you would actually want to use.

I've been playing since May and I still don't know what parts tickets are for. I mean if I need to install a part on a car I just go to shop and buy it, none of them are expensive.

How are you supposed to use parts you gain from tickets ?

 

[the Interceptor]

How are you supposed to use parts you gain from tickets ?

Go to your garage, get into the car you have the part(s) for, then go to 'Tuning Parts' in your garage. Scroll down. The game will show you how many parts you have for this car. Select it to view and install the parts as you like.

 

[ZEE]

Kaaachiiiiinggg!

Spoiler: Was it any good?

NOPE, Pretty bloody Useless!

 

[Lomic]

Showered myself with 100k this morning

 

[ZevZoq]

lol, anything less than 500K in this game is just a fart on a windy day.

I still get socks for Christmas, and I'm 40 next year...

Well then... your life socks 🤣

Todays was great for me. Last invite missing (Pagani). GG PD

 

[ZevZoq]

my 5 star gift ticket gave me a 100K bar. So in total, including tomorrow's 250K, I'll have been gifted for my week of holiday magic 450K credits plus a couple things that basically vanished from my memory a few seconds after they appeared. My GT7 grind has been reduced by almost 1 whole Sardegna iteration - 499 runs instead of 500! Alllllllllllmost...

 

[Lomic]

Been luckier, my 5* brought 500k

 

[skydragon49]

Today I opened my 5 stars ticket and the despicable wheel gave me 500k. The engine ticket one gave me a CTR3 engine, which can go to a Porsche Carrera CS '95 or a Subaru Gr.B road car.

It was ok. It could be better, but it what it is.

The 5-star ticket landed me the mangled Chevrolet Nova, and I dislike all the SEMA cars with a passion. The car doesn’t even count toward the Extra Menu for these cars, so I sold it right away. Returns were meh. All in all a very forgettable ticket.

 

[jrbabbitt]

Saving my tickets to redeem them all at same time...

You posted that you would rather receive nothing at all than the "peanut" rewards being offered. Why then are you opening the tickets and posting the results? Did you have a sudden craving for peanuts?

Well 500k is not peanuts, and if the ticket is here why not opening it ? 5* was the only decent reward of the 5, with some chance to get at least 100k or more, I've been lucky to get more.

The part and the engine went in the storage with the rest of the clutter. And I cashed in the marvelous 100k and I can't wait to cash in the incredibly generous 250...

Even weeklies are most of the time more rewarding than those holidays special. Does not feel special when you get more every week (and this more is still not much).

Luckier? Mine got me a stupid driveshaft. Nice job, PD.

 

[ZevZoq]

Hey, I'll take whatever loose pocket change PD decides to disdainfully toss my way lol! But I'll definitely be sneering and whispering under my breath about cheapskates as they pass by...

 

[HarVee]

I would've rather they just given us a couple expensive UCD/LCD-only cars with zero mileage than roulette tickets.

 

[jrbabbitt]

Sometimes I do feel like Charlie Brown....

(Some younger drivers may not get this....)

 

[ZevZoq]

Well, THAT was quite a week of Xmas blessings!

I'm curious about the reasoning behind the 100K voucher one day and then 250K voucher another. Does PD pay their employees in credits and Tuesday was payday or something so they were a little short that day? lol...

Younger than 40 years of age? 🤔

So from my six-star engine ticket, I won a third engine from the Aventador SV - but I had already swapped one into a Countach 25th Anniversary. Hopefully more models will become compatible with this particular engine, like the Countach LP400, Diablo GT, and/or the Murcielago. Or it could even end up being compatible with a car that isn’t a Lamborghini. It would especially be funny to see it go into the Pagani Huayra, just as I find it humorous that the Ferrari 458’s engine can go into the Alfa Romeo 4C.
