? So you popped 6 Balloons and determined from that, that you couldn't win anything? I can attest from the posts above that you can go up quite a bit.


The NXT house is down 7% so it must be paying out to someone. It's also unlikely but there's a ~1/50 chance of any one player completely running through the entire house fund. (at which point the game is dead). I told my wife when it launched that this was a possibility.

*looks something like this, (user starts with bet of 50), the exclamations represent a bonus game where all 10 balloons have value, user is able to pop 1785 balloons. (breaks the house)

turns = 1785
house = -10.9
User Money =561.4
mymo =0
max P value = 561.4
jackpot= 5003.0

I basically tweaked and tweaked away at the algorithm until I was able to create the highest P values (max total win) without ultimately draining the house. Having done that I still put it at risk by allowing for the possibility of a person to still 'beat the house'.
