Lemme get this off my chest, I hate Sonic 4.
I don't even know why I started this...but I started spinning the slot machine in Generic Casino Zone.
Why did I do it? To ease the pain of my childhood being kicked and beaten? To stock up on lives?
I needed every bit of lives I got from this, fuck those bosses.
When I was finished with the 100 spins, I had 24 lives, the most rings I had at one time was 724.
Now a breakdown of which result is the most frequent, down to the least frequent.
Junk (0-4 rings depending on BAR): 34%
Junk is any result except for 3 in a row. So of course this is the highest number.
Kinda disappointed that I never got Jackpot-Jackpot-Robotnik though.
3 Robotniks (-100 rings): 18%
Yes, Robotnik. Not eggman.
3 Rings (10 rings) 16%
Wooo, 3 rings, how droll.
3 BAR (20 rings) 15%
Trivia Tidbit, the BAR logo on slot machines is derived from the old logo of the Bell-Fruit-Gum company.
3 Sonics (30 rings) 9%
The boy in blue didn't show up much, almost the rarest occurence.
3 Jackpots (150 rings) 8%
Of course the highest payoff is the rarest, but not by much
So...there you have it, if you've ever wanted the odds of hitting a certain thing on the slot machine, there you go.
8 percent for a jackpot isn't really that rare. Pretty good odds if I do say so myself.
ps. doing all this research was less painful than playing through Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
