I don't bet on games and I don't play games of chance. I tried once and started to lose.I am sticking with the usual cards. I have been following the comments of those who played for a long time and they are not good. A few win, most lose.
I also do not agree with the appearance of dozens of types of cards.
But, who I am to write? I'm not rich.
These practices are for rich people like at Las Vegas and so on....
I would ask Totem to stop doing things like this, to respect the little requests of the buyers.
Totem must understand that it is not difficult only for him in these times. It's also for us.
Now that all the cards have become more expensive, I buy less. It means less money for Totem.
Honestly, I'm sorry that people like me, who are not rich, have to *****.

It wil be a great idea to exist all the cards of 30 minutes at default prices and the same cards to be 45/55 minutes for the Ex, SEC, NFT categories.

@Dfner If you apply this strategy every time there's an Ex-Card, you'll end up with credits for the rest of your life.You're going to have to plan on living to a ripe old age. And you never know what's around the corner.... In any case, it's sure to be good business for Totem.

That is of course true :) Repeating this annually with similar expenses wouldn't be realistic. But right now if you believe that your interest in the software and the product will remain a couple of years, in that case one could say that you don't lose anything. You will have enough credits for next 2-3 years depending on how much you purchase cards. And the "prize" for this preparing for future purchases is one Ex, one Joker and one SEC.

If there will be new Ex-card on next Black Friday or on some other occasion, then that is of course time for another decision - and likely pass if the expense is the same and you still have plenty of credits unused.


C'est bien sûr vrai :) Répéter cela chaque *****ée avec des dépenses similaires ne serait pas réaliste. Mais maintenant si vous pensez que votre intérêt pour le logiciel et le produit perdurera pendant quelques *****ées, dans ce cas on pourrait dire que vous ne perdez rien. Vous disposerez de suffisamment de crédits pour les 2-3 prochaines *****ées en fonction du montant de vos achats de cartes. Et le « prix » pour cette préparation aux futurs achats est un Ex, un Joker et un SEC.

S'il y a une nouvelle Ex-card le prochain Black Friday ou à une autre occasion, alors il est bien sûr temps de prendre une autre décision - et elle sera probablement adoptée si la dépense est la même et que vous avez encore beaucoup de crédits inutilisés.


@lukaszr

You could go little bit further and buy 3000 credits using DOLZ. I know, it require little bit more effort, but if you stepped into this DOLZ/NFT BS anyway, and if you're really thinking of stocking some more credits and collect the tickets, purchasing credits with DOLZ seemes to be much better option.

That is true. Personally I don't use cryptos at all in anything, so in my case I didn't consider this option.

To Build an Actual Spinner of the Above Win / Loss ratio and the Possible Prizes
you would need a Spinner with about 300 Spots on it...
Where there are 9 times as Many Loss spots as there are Win Spots,
5 Times as Many Card Wins, as there are 50cr or 100 cr wins
and 4 times as Many 10cr spots as there are 100cr spots.

So the Wheel would be Huge....

By using Look up tables with the results picked at Random,
you can Simplify the Wheel Display, to Just Show 1 each of the Possible Results
and then program some animation of the wheel rotating and stop it on the result of the Random Selection.

This is how Slot machines are done, each Reel of the Machine Has 1 copy of the possible results on it.
The Play is done using lookup tables, and then The results are displayed using some nice animated eye candy and sounds.

EDIT:
I don't know what the Real Odds are
I'm just giving an Example to explain how it is programmed.

But yes I agree, that a display of the odds of Winning would be a nice addition.

@Calgon

You can get the Ex-card if you buy enough credits. No need to play any games if you don't want to.

At the moment you can buy 1320 credits for 99,95 $/€ and each such purchase gives you 374 tickets.
You can also buy 600 credits for 49,95 $/€ and each such purchase gives you 155 tickets.

With your 240 tickets already, if you buy 5 x 1320 credits, you have way over 2000 tickets (and 6,600 new credits...)

If you know that you are going to be around here at least a few more years buying most of the new releases, you might want to stock pile your credits while the 20% offer is available. You will save money in the long run and you get the Ex-card as bonus on top of that (+ Shelena's new SEC and one Joker at 1000 tickets and 1500 tickets points) 😀

@Dfner

If you apply this strategy every time there's an Ex-Card, you'll end up with credits for the rest of your life.

You're going to have to plan on living to a ripe old age. And you never know what's around the corner....

@Dfner

Si vous appliquez cette stratégie à chaque fois qu'il va y avoir une Ex-Card, vous allez vous retrouver avec des crédits jusqu'à la fin de vos jours.

Il va vous falloir prévoir vivre très vieux. Et comme on ne sait jamais ce qui nous attend dans la vie....

En tous les cas, ça va être assurément une bonne affaire pour Totem.

Well, I understand, but in this case the odds of drawing each prize should be clearly presented to the players.

When Programming Slots or Spinners
The Spinner on the Client side is Just a display to show the Outcome of the Play.
It's Eye Candy.

You aren't actually Spinning a Mechanical Spinner.

On the server side where all the Plays are Really done,
You program in a weighted Data Table of Possible results.
For example the Table Might contain
Loss
Loss
Loss
Loss
Loss
Loss
Loss
Loss
Loss
Loss
Win

So that the Win to Loss is 1 out of 10
A Play then picks one at random from the table to determine if it is a win or a Loss.

Then there would be a Win Look Up table picked at Random
Card
Card
Card
Card
Card
10cr
10cr
10cr
10cr
50cr
100cr


Now it's all set...
The Client tells the Server to Generate a random Play
the server pick an outcome from the 1st table is it a Win or a Loss

a Loss
The Server then Tells the Client
Display a Loss.
The Client Shows the Spinner rotating and Ends on a Loss
This can Happen many times in a row..

now a win...
the Win is picked from the possible win Table
The Server sends back to the Client
Display a win of 50cr

And the Client shows the Spinner, ending on 50cr

The Client Side Animation is the Eye Candy just to display the results of the Play.

I always liked to keep my collection full. Now with the new EX card's not any more.

I have a question about the Thrill Spin.
There are 9 fields. What are the chances of getting each particular field? In theory it should be 100/9 = ~11,11% chance for each field, but I'm sure here it works in some other strange way. Anyone is able to answer?


@Dfner

You can get the Ex-card if you buy enough credits. No need to play any games if you don't want to.

The problem is that even if people like you and me don't take part in these games and don't encourage them, there are plenty of others who will.


In short, the circle is complete.


It's the Circle of Life, and it rules us all. ;)
It won't rule me.
I have No FOMO!

But to each his own. Good luck to all the collectors and gamers who gotta catch them all.

Yes, Totem has understood the marketing strategy of the FOMO syndrome, which stands for ***** of Missing Out, and he applies it perfectly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_missing_out


Oui Totem a bien compris la statégie marketting du syndrome du FOMO, qui signifie ***** of missing out (« peur de rater quelque chose »), et il l'applique à merveille.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndrome_FOMO#R%C3%A9f%C3%A9rences

what a stunning debut .... thankyou Totem and THANKYOU Blu Chanelle 😍😍😍

We have skilled mods here, I see someone fixed it elegantly. Now it looks all pretty organised.thanks !

👍👍👍 makes my critique superfluous now 😕.. maybe the same mod can remove my posting

Once the SEC or Joker is reached and clicked to collect, the app says "Already Owned" and they do not show up in your collection (SEC stays in store section). Have to synchronize with servers manually in order to see them to your collection.

Here is the concept! This year, we propose you to complete "quests" while playing our most generous promo games, to win "Event Tickets" used to:

1/ unlock exclusive contents:

a Special Event Card then,
a Joker Card then
a new concept of Exclusive card, named "EX":

An EX Card is a card which can ONLY be acquired during its specific event and won't be available in the iStripper store, nor purchased with a JokerCard, nor distributed in games.


2/ participate in our great Black Friday lottery and win up to 1 year of Cards and Special Event Cards.

Indeed, you'll also win "Event Tickets" while enjoying the 20% reload bonus and buy credits!

You can find all the details about our Black Friday games here :

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/54045/1

👍 😍

Agree, not not a fan of the SEC, NFT and now EX cards.

Honesly not i'm suprised that we now have EX cards.
After the fail the was the NFTs, I was sure that there would be another sad attempt to from Totem Core to maximize the money extracted from their customers.

This is another attempt at Special Event cards, how long untill we see a Joker EX card because this concept is rejected by the user base?

The current promation for iStripper credits lists one of the benefits as "Event Tickets".

What exactly are Event Tickets ;and how do you use them

with EX Card that are gone forever once the event is finished... it goes to another level.Yeah another level of craziness!Why make a card that will within two weeks never ever be available again?Or is this the April Fool promotion about 4 months early?

@wrightsayswow
Or about 7 months late (lol)

The problem is that even if people like you and me don't take part in these games and don't encourage them, there are plenty of others who will.

Dear All, in case you encounter an issue on the Black Friday during the week-end, please report your issue here and refrain from duplicating your request on several threads or tickets to the support or PM to the team, which would simply extend the delay is solving it.

Thank you ! ❤️

For those of you who know us yet, you know and can confirm that we always distribute any gain that you would miss because of a server delay or any other technical issue. We will read you all during the weekend and solve on Monday any glitch you may have met.

Of course, you can also count on our fantastic moderators to answer your questions.

I wish you all a happy and prosperous Black Friday ❤️

yes, could have been, except I spent exactly 10-15 minutes with all of this
I just wanted to know, which ones are in my collection :)

I used a joker card just before the event popped, I guess I can't have the quest anymore without using another one ???

TBH I already found the concept of SEC Cards messed up but at least you can buy them with Joker cards but with EX Card that are gone forever once the event is finished... it goes to another level.

My dudes, I know you've been waiting for this one!!

The beautiful and sulfurous Blu Chanelle is making her debut on iStripper with her fabulous show "Night Pleasures"!
It's an X-rated show so everyone will find a routine that suits them 💋

Welcome in the iStripper Family Blu, for this show and many more to come 💖

@Calgon

I thought the same, but when you have 2000 tickets you get all the card

P.S. do you like my new t-shirt?

@Ironxside 👍👍👍 love it

i got shelena with a joker before i started playing, now i have over 2000 tickets and wondered if the joker i used for shelena will be refunded

Edit: Check Joker status for Shelena SEC card

I have had a detailed look through all of the instructions and I don't think there's much point in my taking part in this event.

If I understand correctly, to get the "X" card I will need 3000 event tickets.

I played a few rounds on the pleasure chest and collected the Bonus quests and I'm at 240 tickets. If I play everything that's left I reckon I can get to about 2500 - that would mean playing 50 Wheels of Thrill Spin at a possible cost of 2500 credits with an unknown amount coming back in winnings, betting 5000 credits on the Slots - with no cards available to buy at a discount.

So... unless I've missed the point somewhere, getting the X is almost impossible for me.

@Totem - please advise, I'm sure plenty of people with a nearly full collection are in a similar position.

Is there a way to disable the sound when you Collect your Event Tickets ?
There is no Speaker icon and Mute Option are Missing.

@WrightSaysWow

Not read everything yet. But my initial thoughts are that this all seems far too complicated for what I think we all originally joined iStripper to do

I'm with you on that sentiment. Far too complicated. I recently bought all the cards that aren't recent and I honestly don't know what game I should be playing.

s191417nq, There was a bug that is fixed now, your tickets as been credited

Thanks, just got my tickets.

The problem is that even if people like you and me don't take part in these games and don't encourage them, there are plenty of others who will.

And Totem knows it. That's why it keeps going.

Gamers have won out over collectors who don't like games.

The most absurd thing about the EXs, if I understand correctly, is that they're going back on the pretext for which they created the Joker, and justifying their promotions, now almost exclusively through games. In other words, to make it possible to obtain cards that were only supposed to be available during the event and not afterwards.

Since some people wanted to have these cards, they created the Joker.

A real no-fun Joke after all.

Totem will do anything to siphon off your credits unnecessarily, in order to sell you more credits.

In short, the circle is complete.



Le problème c'est que même si des gens comme vous et moi ne participent pas à ces jeux et ne les encouragent pas, il y en a plein d'autres qui vont les encourager.

Et cela Totem le sait. C'est pourquoi ça continue.

Les gamers ont gagné sur les collectionneurs qui n'aiment pas les jeux.

Le plus absurde avec les EX, si je comprend bien, c'est qu'il revienne sur le prétexte pour lequel ils ont créé les Joker, et justifier leurs promotions, maintenant presque exclusivement par les jeux. Soit permettre d'obtenir des cartes qui ne devaient être disponibles que lors de l'évènement et non plus après.

Comme des gens voulaient avoir ces cartes, ils ont crée les Joker.

Une vraie Joke pas drôle finalement.

Comme quoi Totem est prêt à tout pour vous siphonner vos crédits inutilement pour vous en revendre d'autres.

En somme la boucle est bouclé.

s191417nq, There was a bug that is fixed now, your tickets as been credited

The joker card issue was fixed to me as well, thanks. Now there just remains one ***** issue: the EX card of Kelly Collins appears as a blank cover in the collection, with just its reference (F1414) on the top left of the frame if the cursor is placed on top of it. In contrast, in the event section the cover appears correctly. It's worth mentioning that the card can still be played normally, so it's just that ***** detail.

I also noticed that it doesn't have a photo set, but I'm not sure whether it wasn't meant for this specific card or it's actually another issue.

Also I didn't receive tickets from my credit purchasing.Did you click "Click here to refresh your tickets balance" on the Quest page?

Yes I did, and It didnt work.

Also I didn't receive tickets from my credit purchasing.

Did you click "Click here to refresh your tickets balance" on the Quest page?

i got shelena with a joker before i started playing, now i have over 1500 tokens and wondered if the joker i used for shelena will be refunded, also the joker card for 1500 tickets was not credited to my account.

@arnie2209 We are working on it ... sorry about that;

I now have 1 joker credited to my account, thanks.
Will i get another joker refunded because i used a joker for Shelena before i started playing ?

Edit: Check Joker status for Shelena SEC card

Also I didn't receive tickets from my credit purchasing.

Now I have read everything. My initial thoughts were right, it's far too complicated for what I think we all originally joined iStripper to do. NOT play silly games, but just purchase and watch the shows.👎

And ...

...complete "quests" while playing our most generous promo games,...

Not the 25 game though, that's the best I think.

When NFT's were introduced, it was like a kick in the teeth for most of us, then they jack up the pirces because of inflation (tHeY mUsT bE ***** cAsH wItH hEaVy LoSsEs proceeds to post a record breaking NFT sale) and now an EX card...

honestly, i don't know if gonna keep spending money on this, its just straight up greed now, in your face, out in the open, bare assed greed, imma finish out the year and then i don't know if i'll be coming back.

So i use a joker for the Selene Card. But Selene is still the card to unlock. (I can understand that)

I did not get the 50 tickets for using the joker as I did this before this was anounce?
The 3 card from to day will they be part of the show quest as i did get them before this was anounce?

Bonus Quest: I have 130 tickets now and iff i get the 50 from the joker that makess 180 tickets. Does Classic cards count?
I don't have intress in the VR videos and mobile membership (does it count if you are a Elite member?)

Show Quest: The max I can get is 130 tickets as the last 3 (Bus 100, 250 and 500 shows) is not a option for me.

Games quest: That means I have to get 1690 ticket from playing the games. That's a lot for someone that has all the cards except the classic cards.

Edit: The Team will have to Review your questions.

I'm currently using gift cards to buy cards as I've a lot of them and want to use them, have premium turned off while i use them (it just makes sense) and revert to premium when all used. So my questions are

1. Looks like using gift cards doesn't count towards the buy cards count in rewards. Is this correct?

2. Can gift cards be used to purchase the advent calendar? Basically we're buy X cards in a single purchase so exchanging X gift cards should make no difference.

Thanks in advance

Edit by MOD

#1 - The Team will have to Respond to that concern.
#2 - As far as I am Aware, Gift cards can NOT be used to purchase the Advent calendar.

@arnie2209 We are working on it ... sorry about that;

i got shelena with a joker before i started playing, now i have over 1500 tokens and wondered if the joker i used for shelena will be refunded, also the joker card for 1500 tickets was not credited to my account.

SEC, NFT, Ex cards and gambling games mean nothing to me. They have reduced my interest and purchases. But I am obviously in the minority.

An ever growing minority though I bet.
Just want to buy shows, not play silly games!

Not read everything yet. But my initial thoughts are that this all seems far too complicated for what I think we all originally joined iStripper to do. NOT play silly games, but just purchase and watch the shows. And now not only do we have SEC, but now also EX versions
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/54052/1?post=774049
Seems bonkers to me to make these and not just have them available later with jokers.

My opinion may not weigh enough in comparison to you others, as my collection is relatively "small".
And I can also see why Totem does these events. I'm also participating in them on a regular basis, as I still have cards to collect that I want.

But this Event is completely ***** my interest in any of these "games". The amount of money going into this hobby already is not the smallest kind as it is.

@fallen0ne
I have been a supporter since 1998 (...).
(...) I do however want to mention that I am not a fan of SEC, NFT and now EX cards. It reminds me of what videogame companies do with loot boxes and other tech industry tactics to exploit people's ***** of missing out.

I was actually born in 1998. Since I grew up with actual video games such as Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Star Craft, Warcraft 3, Age of Empires and so on; seeing these parallels establish everywhere is troubling me very much, as the impression prevails that this occurance will tend to keep on rising.

@KatzPaw From next Friday, November 24, you will also be able to purchase the 2023 Advent Calendar
allowing you to see each new December show a day before everyone else and on December 25, you will be treated to an exceptional Special Event Card by Melena Maria Rya
