Why do I always get the worst prize on the roulette wheel?

[BangsMcCoy]

I remember when I used to get excited over getting a good engine or an invite but since you can now buy engines not any more. Now thankfully I'm at the point that the only reason I still even open any ticket stuff is cause I still need a Pagani and Lamborghini invite if not I wouldn't even bother opening any * ticket stuff.👍

I agree. I used to get excited about the engine tickets and the 500K and 1M prizes, but nothing else. In fact, once I acquired all the cars that’s the only reason I still got the tickets every day, looking for one of those 3. Ever since they changed how engine swaps work though I’ve only gotten a handful of tickets and don’t care about them at all anymore. Having all the cars and still over 40M Cr. I’m good to just log on after an update, buy the new cars and perform the new engine swaps, try them out and tune them and then go off to other games.

I've never had anything other than the lowest price in the wheel, none of the prizes and always the smallest stack of coins..

I would say 90% of the time you get the worst roulette prize on GT7 & it was nearly always on the top left of the five prizes. Now the worst prize seems to be randomly placed a bit, but you nearly always get it. Always thought it was rigged, like online modes of this game. Reminds me EA Sports football games - rigged & rubbish prizes. I prefer Wreckfest & Grid as driving games.

It's not "rigged", but it is predetermined. The reward is set when you receive the ticket (though can change after a content update), the animation is just an animation with no chance involved. Edit: Like I said in literally the first reply to this thread, over a year ago...

The probabilities of tickets containing certain prizes is well-known and established, and no reward has a 90% probability.

I haven’t gotten a million or half a million in a long time. $5000 or $10,000, car invite, or some useless part.

But a long time ago I got a million twice within a month. I hate the animation, I wish a card would flip and show you what you got without showing potential wins. Especially when it skips past a million or ends one short of a million for $5000. It’s too bad it didn’t just give you a million every month if you logged on enough.

I'm sitting on 3 1M credits tickets (DW) that I gotten the last week and half.

But what I really need again is a Ferrari invite.

****ing manipulation.

PD wants you to believe you can get something else, just like in casinos.

25 years down the drain.

Lucky. I don’t care for the invites. No desire to get all the cars, the invites seem stupid to me. Not meaning you wanting one to collect all cars, but that PD has that in the game. What do they think? As soon as somebody collects all the cars they’re going to delete the game from their harddrive? lol

The invite cars aren’t really all that great, but I guess a Platinum trophy hunting person would disagree?

If I could gift cars, I would.

Is there a trophy regarding invite cars ? Or car collection completion ? I don't remember that, except the trophy with the 3 legendary cars from Le Mans.

 

[coryclifford]

I don’t think so. So it would be car completion. I don’t even know. Millions of dollars for VGT cars. No thanks but some are pretty cool.
