Trudy's Surprise (Slot Machine)! [Split 5 eva]

[Siniri]

Day 9: matched 2, 17k

No record low, just an annoyingly low round (unless I manage that cheeky second BLB, which could bring it to an average round).

Except when you really think about it, even a low round is still a ridiculous amount of free NP in 25 days. Remember how hard we used to have to work for that many NP back in the day? After today's dailies, I'm able to deposit 48k, and that was in less than ten minutes. Ridiculous. And that's not even including the value of the items I also won.

Day 21, Matched 0, 18.5k

It truly is a lot of NPs. I feel so bad for my kiddos, because they don't have access to Trudy. I still don't understand why. They can spin the fruit machine, which is also a free "slot machine," and spin the wheels, but not Trudy. I mean, I get that they can't play Brucey B/Pawkeet/Scorchy Slots, or Dice-a-Roo, as those are all CLEARLY gambling...but a free spin on Trudy? At least they're able to use the quest log, which has helped, and I've definitely let them know any time tarla comes, etc, so they can make a bit off the neggs, etc, too. And I might use my experience to help them make better decisions on the game. But that 450k+ every 25 days is something they definitely don't have.

Day 17, no matches, 18.5k

Trudy blocked makes no sense. There's zero gambling involved. It costs nothing to spin and there is no risk of loss.

Then again, maybe that teaches kids that spinning a slot machine has no risk? Then, later in life someone loses their house because Trudy said it is risk free to play the slots...?

Day 22, Matched 2, 19k, and a gift box

You would think, though, that if Trudy wasn't allowed, that Fruit Machine wouldn't be allowed, either. And that the wheels (which do cost NP) would not be - especially the Wheel of Extravagance. But...who knows?

Day 10: matched 0, BLB 21k

I didn't know Trudy was blocked. That's weird. Maybe write into the editorial? But they may have to remove the others if it's a legal thing and it was just overlooked. (I know they all have to be blocked for underage in Australia because their laws are really strict... So maybe they just blocked new ones globally for kids, so they don't have to keep up with laws in each country?)

Also, woohoo for second BLB! That brings this round up to average considering all the lack of matches on the critical days. I'll take it.

Day 11: 19.5k and Camping Picnic Table Foreground

Day 23, Matched 0, 18.5k, and a Pickle Pizza

I've written into the editorial about it before but it wasn't answered. Who knows. Maybe I'll catch one of the staff on discord sometime and ask. I doubt it'd be a priority, though, and who knows if it's got any legal issues. I've also written the editorial before about getting them access to at least SEE what avatars they've earned, but that came up with a lot of nothing, too. So...we'll see what restrictions are lifted when BLP turns 13, I guess? But I think that's not anything "gambling." I don't think, though, that their younger player base issues would be a major priority with all the other things they're trying to tackle.
