AndoEyrune Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Last year with 800k i got 7 vectrons, 20ish certs, a rancor, and no machine blowing up. This event I've spent 200k, and only got 2 certs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoofa Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Sorry if my sarcasm was too subtly I'll be less so - the amount of people who have a friend/mate who got a rancor within the first 10 tokens they used - I call BS, there, better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TikkyLightmaker Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 1M cr gives you the chance to have a chance to get a chance at maybe getting a chance to get.... a result. I spent 300K and got nothing. I also learned that i did it wrong, as i had bought a few kingpin tokens with that 300K. Had i bought strictly smuggler's tokens, well i might have gotten the same result, but we'll never know. I might try with another 300K later on.

dlcman Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Wish I could sell the gold certs. I have 107 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyk_Borne Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hahahahaha, I spent $0 creds and got the rancor. Finally found another use for those cartel certificates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDAM Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Those damn Hutts & their rigged Slot Machines! 1M credits & all I got was 1 lousy Golden Certificate! Have you read Dulfy's event guide? You really have to play the 1K chips and parlay those into Kingpin chips. Your odds increase by ~10X that way (accounting for free rolls, smuggler's luck, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooty Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 LOL, people are buying OP's bantha poodoo. Played 1M and all he got was 1 golden cert. Only way that happened is if he bought chips and then threw most of them away without actually playing them on the slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooty Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Oh wait, he bought the kingpin chips directly for 50K each, and then had some really bad luck. I forgot you could do that, because who in their right mind would buy the 50K chips unless you have so many credits you don't care. And if you have that many credits why would you complain about spending 1M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocsharr Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I lost 0 credits on that event. I spent the coins I got for free, won more coins and lost all those coins. Lost nothing and gained nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way that happened is if he bought chips and then threw most of them away without actually playing them on the slots. I used all the 900 blue coins I bought for 40m, all with luck buff too, and got 1 rancor, all achieves, 10 speeders, and like 220 tickets Edited June 14, 2015 by Theeko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dacentabaal Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 7.5m got me 16 certs and a vectron mount... meh I have a rancor from last years run of the event, just hoping to get another, only spent 2m last year lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiliX Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 I didn't know there was a "strategy" to the slot machines. Started out with buying 5K worth of the Green Tokens. I was surprised to end up with 3 Blue Tokens. Switched over to buying the Blue Tokens. Didn't get the achievement for a blown up machine. Walked away, broke, with the one worthless Gold Certificate. The Hutts could have at least comped me a Twi'lek. Hell, in Vegas I could have been getting a BJ while throwing away 1M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Criosdh Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) This is very true. If you know the way to play, then you can get everything relatively cheap. I got all the rewards (drop & vendor) the first time with a little less than 1.2M spent. The only thing I didn't get was the damn slot machine blowing up achievement. I don't buy it until I hear what it is. Unless of course you're simply talking about smuggler chips to get king and using the lucky buff.

Kulyok Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I don't buy it until I hear what it is. Unless of course you're simply talking about smuggler chips to get king and using the lucky buff. There's another theory. Every five-ten minutes or so, your luck changes - you either get several certificates in a row, constant wins and so on, or constant "red screens" and no winning anything good, even luck buff evades you. It might be my imagination, of course. But that's how I played - I only approached the kinpin machine during the "constant wins" phase(particularly after a smugger jackpot/double chips/stuff like that), and that increased my "certificate wins" to 25k per cert. I also won three rancors, having spent about four mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also won three rancors, having spent about four mil. This is true. For anyone who has played enough, you certainly start seeing a win pattern emerge. It's about every 5-10 minutes, followed usually by a larger then normal streak of losses for a minute or two. The key is running 2 machines at once during the high pay loot window, whether smugg machines or kingpin's with the buff active. It's better to play 2 smugg machines until you have a nice big chunk of kingpin chips, then get the buff and then run over and play the kingpin machines. And if you can time it during the loot window, you will be golden, especially if you are running two kingpins at once (since it tends to give you double jackpots).

XiliX Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Just shows how bad my Luck is, I guess. Then again, after spending $200 (real money) on the DeepCore Hypercrates & not getting a Monocycle, I should have known better than risk all of my credits.

Nikodog Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I recently spent about 400 k and got 21 golden certificates and the rancor mount, which was my goal. The expected rate for a rancor,based on average is 1 in 1111 kingpin coins. Based on the 0.09 percent odds with the buff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoofa Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 My only frustration is that I've exploded a machine numerous times yet haven't won the rancor - so I'm hitting the most unlikely event more times than the rancor! I've spent a lot of credits and it's on the rancor I still require - for 100% achievement and completion. Think I'm gonna have to give up on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlrikFassbauer Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Exploding these machines gives an Legacy Achievement (aka "Chievo") plus a title, if I remember it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludoviccb Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I've done the mats, and for a stack or 99 smuggler, you get on average 1 golden certificate from the Smuggler machine and 3-5 wins from the King Pin if you always use the lucky buff. For the average amount to get the rancor it's around 36 stacks that are needed or around 3.6M credits using the Smuggler chip and using the Feeling Lucky Buff. If you don't use the buff and buy directly King Pin token, for 1M credits, you would be lucky to get 2 or 3 wins from the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbantug Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I got two rancors in my first 200k but I wanted to get all the achievements and ended up spending another two mil trying to get that damn machine to blow up! Ended up with over 100 certs and 6 vectrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestar Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I gave up on the Rancor after two runs of this event, perhaps next time it will be around. I have no idea how much credits spent but I have like 7 Vectrons and all other achievements (including the blow up machine that they say is even more rare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I already have the account unlock for the Ridgeback Rancor I figure it wasn't worth dropping big money to get this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
