Daily [[Luck]] increases your chance of winning when using the slot machines, otherwise the results are randomly determined.

Daily [[Luck]] and the Luck buff from various food items can increase the chance of winning and the expected return when gambling. Otherwise, rolls are randomly determined.

This is adjusted multiplicatively by daily Luck, increasing by 20% at best or decreasing by 20% at worst with the [[Special Charm]] adding 5%. Food buffs add 8% for every point of Luck (''e.g.,'' if daily Luck is max and luck from food is 3 then the chance to get 1 cherry is 20% * (1 + 0.2 + 0.24) = 28.8%).

 +
==Expected Value Calculation==
 +
 
 +
To calculate the expected net gain or loss from playing the slot machine, we use the formula:
 +
 
 +
'''Net Expected Gain/Loss = (B × Σ(P<sub>i</sub> × M<sub>i</sub>)) - B'''
 +
 
 +
Where:
 +
* ''B'' = Bet amount (in units)
 +
* ''P<sub>i</sub>'' = Probability of the i-th outcome
 +
* ''M<sub>i</sub>'' = Multiplier for the i-th outcome
 +
* ''Σ'' = Sum over all possible outcomes (i=1 to n)
 +
 
 +
After accounting for the following:
 +
 
 +
'''Net Expected Gain/Loss = B × ((0.2 × 2) + (0.1 × 3) + (0.08 × 5) + (0.01 × 30) + (0.003 × 80) + (0.002 × 120) + (0.0025 × 200) + (0.0009 × 500) + (0.0006 × 1000) + (0.001 × 2500)) - B'''
 +
 
 +
Which simplifies to:
 +
 
 +
'''Net Expected Gain/Loss = B × 5.93 - B = B × (5.93 - 1)'''
 +
 
 +
Then reducing to:
 +
 
 +
'''Net Expected Gain/Loss = B × 4.93'''
 +
 
 +
To simplify, if you spend {{price|100|Qi}} on a spin you can expect a net gain of {{price|493|Qi}} per spin!
