One gambling game turns out to be superior; Keno. Getting eight out of eight numbers is enough to earn ten million dollars, the bet needs to be at least 556 dollars.
The RNG is kinda problematic in this game. Delaying the input affects the RNG and the input itself (poorly though) affects the RNG. However I figured out 2 pretty interesting things:
  • It is possible to affect the RNG while the game announces the winning numbers
  • Holding directional buttons extends the RNG output sequence, although it's still kinda limited
Keno, a gambling game that is pretty much impossible to win under normal circumstances, seems to offer the fastest solution needed to beat the game.

Yes vote, although I don't understand how the 'Current Roulette Wheel Number' and 'Ball Pocket Bypass Counter' have anything to do with Keno.

Well, those addresses are kinda irrelevant. Sorry. Fixed.

Really? Vault would be more suitable tier for this one.

Audience liked it (12 yes votes to 2 no at the time of writing this), I did as well. I have a soft spot for these heavy luck manipulation casino game runs. If the post-publication voting drags it down then it can be moved to Vault.

Something I'm curious about. If you had bet all 16 Keno numbers and hit all of them, how much would that have won you? I feel like making that miracle happen would be even more impressive from a luck manipulation standpoint.

I'm curious too. I assume the game limits the biggest victory to be 99,999,999 dollars regardless of the bet and the selected numbers. And there's probably some sort of relationship between these values; 1 out of 1 = 3x multiplier, 2 out of 2 = 12x multiplier, 3 out of 3 = 42x multiplier, 4 out of 4 = 112x multiplier, 8 out of 8 = 18000x multiplier.
