I don't know if this was a glitch or it is normal but in one of my rolls I got hurt out of nowhere.
That's one of the rolls. It's the "whammie" roll. Haven't landed on it myself but it whams 'ya.

"That's one of the rolls. It's the "whammie" roll. Haven't landed on it myself but it whams 'ya."
Can this actually kill you?
@Bopp
I believe the slime coin replaces any ordinary 50 cr coin drop as long as it's on a slime themed level. Since those lamps have a tiny chance of dropping a coin and that coin has a chance of becoming a slime coin it would make sense for those lamps to have a chance of dropping a slime coin, even if tiny. I'm not 100% sure of this so if anyone wants to chime in, slime coins dropping from lamps, non-slime enemies, or anything else for that matter would be some evidence. I want to say that I've had silkwings drop slime coins but I may just be imagining things or remembering incorrectly.
I honestly doubt this casino its some sort of "Crown Sink"
i found my first casino, bought 10 slime coins for 6666cr because im lazy AF to grind them and more when the game just its boring for me. so anyway i decide to go and of course while on my way killing slimes got 3 spare coins. i rolled and rolled and got just crowns from 2-6 nothing special. so i noticed i can use my cr. 200 per roll.
I keep rolling and after 10 rolls i got one of 200 x 50 cr. neat now i have 13k cr, i keep rolling and rolling and got one of 100, then one of 60, then again one of 200. and so on and on... and on. i keep rolling just to get the achievement, and i go and on and so on, probably spent like 2 hours just rolling to unlock the silver one, and right now i just got tired of keep rolling because probably silver its around 1000 rolls, gold around 5000 rolls and probably platinum gold one its around 10,000 rolls (of course we are talking about achievement). You can speed the process of rolling by just pressing attack in the machine then place the mouse over the button to play then press ESC and repeat. i honestly... dont see this as crown sink, i just got bored and from 3k cr i ended up with 52k cr and i just decided to quit.
i just got the bronze achievement and i doubt someone would get the silver one unless well... they spent a whole hours of gameplay and some cr (which they wouldnt lose at all) and that kind of achievement its... well its not fun to get, just standing there doing so thousand of rolls until you get it. the first one its was easy probably its around 50 rolls, but the rest of them probably its around 1000 or more rolls and thats not fun.
Anyways, the problem its those machines generated more crowns that the ones are supposed to be lost, honestly this can be fixed by just removing the CR usage from the machine and let the player buy the slime tokens with a NPC there if they still have the "urge" to keep rolling, remove the crowns prizes from 4-200 so the machine cant give "free Rolls" then you can add unique prizes as the update says, hell even they can replace the prizes of 4-200 cr in tokens so you can trade those tokens for unique prizes with a NPC in town or right there in casino. and modify the amount of rolls to get the last 3 achievements, unless those 3 arent active yet.
@Cronus: I remember during the first Black Kat event, one of the daily missions had an empty chair right before the final arena room. that you could sit in. If it was possible there, then it's almost certainly still so.
Also, I'd like if there was some chance to get rarities, item slots, accessories, costumes, etc at a very rare chance in the prize machines. Similar to a real slot machine where you have a very small chance of winning the "big payout" and a lot of other smaller ones.
Even if that doesn't go through due to concerns for the health of the game's economy, it would be nice to add a chance for materials to be rewarded. At the easiest level of simplicity, it could be simply the prize wheel code copied onto a machine with the same drop table. If you’re willing to put more work in, there could be stacks of materials, an entire material machine with high chances to get 0-2* mats and lower chances to get 3-5*, or something similar.
Just throwing some ideas out there, since you said you were open to suggestions. I hope these aren’t too outrageous.
Also @Sweet-Hope: The easiest way to make it an effective crown sink, until they put in unique prizes, is to tweak the drop rates. Statistically, you should always be losing money gambling if the casino is set up correctly. The average amount of currency spent before the "jackpot" is hit should always be higher than the jackpot itself. But I do like the tokens idea.
I went ahead and made an actual suggestion on the suggestions forum for the casino. So uh, feel free to look over that.
I think the consensus from people I've talked to has been "something unique" would fit the casino best. Since it's the same across tiers, I would say a casino prize box won from the machines containing reskinned standard costumes and accessories would work fine for now... However not-standard ones, such as node slime or splash would also be a nice surprise.
Love the casino but as I go over in that suggestions forum thread it really doesn't serve a purpose other than existing.
Node Slime would make perfect sense for a rare reward, being the Slime casino and all.
(Plus I really want to finish my set ;-;)
Am i the only one who thinks this is a good update? Am i the only one who is really sorry for the people (devs) who made the update, because they get rocks thrown in their faces? I personally think this idea is great, gambling is addictive, time consuming, instead of the endless vana grinding people now actually might start this instead. There hasn't been a proper update for such a long time, and people call this casino a shit, even though its not. I've been even threatened because of this opinion, wont call names, but for dear god, stop whining and offer new ideas for the casino to be added. Of course, there's always room for improvement, for example the rarest prize could be a zee core. No? Just me? If you don't like it (the casino), don't. Lol. Do something else then, for example continue grinding your boss levels instead.
Tried the Casino this morning I'm addicted cant wait to try it again later today.Glad they added something fun
ive been looking for a jackpot machine dunno how to tell the difference tho so please be more clear about what you add and now i read theres no unique rewards yet i personally think that should have been said from the start cause it looked like the update was already finished and not just smth that was added to get feedback and suggestions for prize so could have been a bit more clear about that ;)
but that being said i think its a cute little update that expands the things you can do in sk and im looking forward to seeing what new things will be exclusively availble from the casino :)
oh and the fact that the casino can be found on clockworks depths only is also a thing that was never said but i guess thats pretty easy to guess for people who have played for a long time :)
I think it's nice that we finally get something new in a long, long time. It's better to have something new than having nothing after all these years.
My one thing I would like to place on the Golden Prize Wheel in these Golden Slime Casinos, new temporary multiplier pickups, so Knights would get double, triple, or even quadruple the amounts of Crowns, Sparks of Lives, Fire Crystals, Golden Slime Coins, & even Health pickups they come across, lasting between hours to a few days. Other pickups, like vials, vitapods, & such doesn't count to the multiplier.
Cronus, wouldn't that make a fine addition to the prize wheel as a rare prize? It's my suggestion to add something unique to the Golden Prize Wheels.
The royal jelly is a hilarious touch, and the casinos with the "band" playing are amazing as well.
Also really love how the music changes to Lucky Knight.
You guys made an amazing content update. I love it.
Some questions:
1) Does the dev team plan on making actual instrument models for the aforementioned band? I would love to see the Lumber bang on a drumset.
2) Would it be possible to craft a Slime Coin with say, 50cr and one Jelly Gem token?
3) Would you consider giving some of the monsters in the Casino top hats/monocles/dapper combos? In particular, both the Polyps and maybe one or two of the 'lisks.
and maybe giving the Yesmen Hawaiian shirts/sunglasses and a glass of orange juice with an umbrella in it? (Sucking up to demon-overseers has its perks, after all)
And finally, a suggestion or several:
1) I would like for the Casino to be a little more, well, gold. No offense toward the design so far, but the floors and walls seem like they could use a little contrast to the rest of the level.
2) On occasion, when the player spins the wheel, a snipe flies out. (what was it doing in there?)
3) Put more Impostocubes in the casino pls. Adds an air of sophistication to the [exclusive] environment
4) I would like to recommend a reskinned Quicksilver costume set, colored gold, for the slot machines.
5) 1/(rare) chance to find unbound, reskinned guns that shoot Crown-shaped bullets (1* for t1, 3* for t2, and 5* for t3 Casinos)
6) When the trick-roll that hurts you pops up, an extendable punch-glove pops out of the machine's overworld model
7) I would like to recommend small-scale Furnishings as rare prizes (anything that takes up a 1x1 area of space)
8) And finally, the most improbable request but one I want to put in because it's hilarious and should be at least considered:
Vanaduke himself, maskless, dressed in sunglasses and casual attire like the Yesmen, sitting on an enormous lawn chair. His mask is lying off to the side, also with sunglasses on it.
Two Royal Guard are standing beside him, smartly dressed in a suit and tie, carrying briefcases instead of weapons and also wearing sunglasses.
Vanaduke's mace is stuck in the ground, and the handle has been extended into an umbrella pole, with a large umbrella on the top of it bearing the crest of Almire.
Numerous Slag Walkers are dancing throughout the room, referencing the webcomic "Duke VanaLord". (Links to a picture of it I reposted because the original is on a site that looks kinda shady)
Dialogue from the Slags:
"Oh, all these lights!"
"All this music makes me feel like dancin'!"
Dialogue from the Royal Guards:
"Hey, didn't I see you in...never mind."
"No fighting today. We all need a break."
"We're here on official business. This vacation is mandatory.
Dialogue from Vanaduke:
"Kings don't die, baby!"
"What's this? More wolves thirsty for the prizes on that wheel?"
"I'd challenge you to a game of poker, but the cards keep catching on fire."
"Hey, can I get a refill? I...oh. Well, this is awkward."
"Enjoy yourself! Sit back, relax, and for the love of Vog stop stabbing me with that needle gun every week."
"Hey, if you see a couple other royal-kingly type, tell them to go shove it, orders of the Duke." (References the Citadel's backstory)
"How would you like to join the Royal Guard, kid? Oh, you gotta be dead first though."
Shouldn't the pay for the re-rolls be 300 instead of 200 crowns? I mean, I see no reason to buy these coins otherwise...they're worth something that's less than 200 crowns all of a sudden...
"There are currently (as of this second) no prizes that are unique on the wheel. As noted that can change. A lot will depend on feedback, how the casino does, specific events, and what resources we want to spend on the casino vs other items.
(note: I had to edit this because I found the little tooltip on the wheel. None of our announcements make any mention of these.)"
I spent a few hours spinning the prize wheel yesterday, with a net loss of 60k crowns, to try and get one of the unique items that were claimed to be in the game by the slot machine's tooltip. I've been keeping track of the forums since I heard of the change to Grey Havens, waiting for an update. I have to say, an update done in this fashion (untested, devs unaware of conflicting tooltip text, etc) is not going to make me regain interest in the game.
~a disappointed knight
Personally, regarding the prizes, I agree on removing the consumable items (I'm not even sure why they're on the regular prize wheel to be honest) and carrying out that initiative to add unique items of some sort. Unfortunately all my ideas for that would require major changes to other aspects of the game (such as the ability to paint armor/accessories), so I'll leave the rest of the community to that. I'm not much of a fan of the health-based slot machine, but apparently some people find it hilarious, so ...
Also, someone mentioned a silver-ranked achievement similar to the bronze-rated Lichen Your Luck a bit earlier. Does anyone else know if this is true or if it's just extrapolation?
I think that the consumables in the regular prize wheel aren't that bad, It's helpful in D&N when you can get that health capsule or in Vana if you need a remedy.
However, the regular prize wheel will not give out hearts or consumables if your health and consumables are full. I think that this same thing should apply to the casino wheels.
Well. Cronus.
I've been thinking about it and I think the casino is pretty much good as it is and I don't think any of us really legitimately want to sit there gambling at it for hundreds of hours, or at least most of us don't. I think it would be neat to have something unique and special in it but maybe on the low side, like 100K crowns or something. That's not free or anything but for anyone in T3 it's incredibly doable.
What about-
Sprinkle Aura, but instead of Sprinkles it's slime coins. Slime Coin Aura.
I'll even make it for you if you'd like. The sprinkle aura uses this texture-
http://i.imgur.com/fSPNx0g.png
The rest is fairly self explanatory.
I found the casino! So I started dashing away from the slot machines and then I'm like-
"OH GOD WHO LET THE MONSTER NEAR THE CASINO!?"
Lumber didn't get replics http://s20.postimg.org/d1o2eha0r/20160525201744_1.jpg
Has anyone opened all the Achievements yet ? Also how many spins does it take for each one? I have the first one but didn't keep track of it lol.Really love the casino its a great little mini game
There's casinos in D&N and FSC? Color me surprised.
They were discussing the merits of having consumables in the regular prize wheel that comes up when you step on an elevator, so Wqksayi-Alt was saying that those consumables are helpful in FSC and D&N, the ones from the elevators, not casinos.
Ive only seen the bronze one when I looked (and got it), do the silver and gold ones even show up on the progress menu or are they supposed to be invisible until completed? Or do they simply not exist
I got second achievement for 10k spins. I think that developers have to review that achievements. And change casino, at least limit spins of every machine.
http://s20.postimg.org/osg8kgnwb/20160527131838_1.png
wow 10k? i knew the number is high and probably for gold and platinum its even worse nope definitevely dont worth to stay there spinning 10k just for the next
Theoretically, it wouldn't cost anything to do 10k spins, since that one machine where it's 50% kleptolisk, 50% 400cr means average 0 change in money. However, how long would it take to do that many spins, when using the escape menu trick to spin faster?
There's no unique armor/weapons/costumes or accessories as a reward? If there aren't any then I seriously hope they add them!
It makes sense that at a casino you would win money, but it would make more sense if you won a different type of token, which could then be exchanged back for special items instead.
i walked into a casino with 13kcr to spend.
I won a total of 21k.
Immediately afterwards, I lost enough money to drop to 8k.
I then regained my original 13k.
The Almighty gives you very clear signals as to when you should walk away from the slots.
@Ultimaximus:
i tried it when i made my post but really lost interest after the 200 spin because i was imagining about the number to get the next medal would be exagerated around 5k or more.
My current guess is 100 spins for bronze achievement, 100x100 spins for silver achievement, 100x100x100 spins for gold achievement. Would be nice if there was a counter letting you know how far along you were, but alas.
So are these new achievements Steam-only? I don't see them on my knights, which are through www.spiralknights.com.
It seems to be the opposite, they show up in-game but not on Steam.
So... the casino is set to end pretty soon. Was anything added Mr. Cronus? Possibly Dr. Cronus, that definitely sounds better but also like he's an evil scientist or something. It's cool if nothing was added this time around btw. I mean it'd be kind of late to put something in right now but maybe not I mean it only really takes a day? IDK. I'd do it next time if I were you and haven't yet. Also would give time to like, have the server compiling again or whatever you need to do.
In the mean time please turn it on like once a week for thirty minutes just to mess with everyone. Like OMG ITS BACK we all go look for it and get trolled. This is basically the troll event. Wasted crowns, time and rumors galore. I love it.
As far as i can see the idea of the casino is not that bad.
So this is my personal opinion about how should it be like :
1- The Casino should come every 2 weeks or Every month as someone already mentioned it and also last for 2 days on the weekend.
2- The Casino should bring unique prizes (Crowns Jackpot about 100k) or items (event items either weapons or materials).
3- Using crowns will increase everytime you hit the button but you are most likely to get an item.(Event tho i think not many people will it)
4- We actually need more items in the game to make the casino very successful but for now simple thing like crown jackpot should be more than enough and it should at least excite some of the new players.
I can confirm that there is a second achievement.
I can also confirm that it takes far too long to get. If it is in fact 10k rolls that's gambling 2mil crowns for an achievement. Granted I haven't lost money from gambling it's uh, not something that's really worth seeking out other than rich completionist stuff.
The rolls should use the miner achievement numbers - IE, final achievement is 10k. Would make them more reasonable, even if they only can be achieved via the slime coins rather than crowns. As it stands if you have a lot of crowns to gamble you'll get them after a very long and boring thing that is better to do with an autoclicker, which is against the ToS.
Good that you found it. Just to ask, what is that achievement's name?
High roller. Somebody posted a screenshot of it a few days ago, I assumed most people know about it by now.
For all we know the final achievement is 10k spins. There's no way to know unless they tell us, or at the very least include a counter that shows us where we're at. I feel like if there's an achievement at 1 mil spins, then I should have gotten it by now, or at the very least I'm close.
Doing 1 million spins for the achievement... now that is long.
The casino should use minerals as currency since they're still worthless.
It's real!
http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/271719485592577175/D077CF8...
The 3rd achievement is real?
20k rolls or 1m?
Snipes can fly?
I know they said they dropped support for other languages but I didn't expect the localization to still try to kick in.
Regardless we'll probably have to wait for the next time the casino rolls around to find out if there's more achievements. Alternatively someone can file dive but that's no fun.
It's not 20k, I've seen people rolling just as long as they did to get the 10k one and they didn't get it yet.
Looks like the patch recently also changed the visuals on the casino achievements. Instead of a silver badge with a bronze outline, the "high roller" achievement is now entirely silver. This likely means there are only 3 levels of casino achievements instead of the presumed 5.
Makes going after these achievements a bit more reasonable, even if they are a bit of a time waster for now.
Additionally, the casino tool tip was changed to no longer include a mention of unique items. Even with that changed, I do hope for something unique in the future!
Speaking of today's update, it's good that they gave two non-repeatable missions the gold badge if you completed them before those were around. But there are still two early missions ("The Ancient Generator" and "Crossing the Chasm")... technically you can do them again by being invited, but it won't update the badge (unless this was changed).
The must be grabbed within 30 seconds rule bothers me. That means that if my friends shoot a box from across the map because they want to "see if it has orbs" I lose all slime coins, or that if I don't see a slime coin drop it just vanishes. I really don't see why it's a good idea to have the slime coins disappear, especially when all other forms of loot don't.
The good thing is, I sold 10 of these tokens for 10k each on the first day, and later it turns out they're only worth 200 crowns.
I don't know if this was a glitch or it is normal but in one of my rolls I got hurt out of nowhere. I had 100% HP and came down to 3% HP, I was along Legobuild and Loquane and they are witnesses lol.
