I did 10 and got x3 5 credits

perhaps is only me, I always gets negative returns.

I was bored, so I played 40 times. Net loss of 55 credits. Received two (two cards after playing 40 times!!!) 720P cards that I did not want.

Best to play solitaire if you're bored........

Played 2 times, losed 2 times, game over.

(I have played here a lot, at latest games, losed a lot. so it's time to stop)

At least you can win cards, I can only get credits back.

At least you can win cards, I can only get credits back.

But if you get credits back you can then use them to buy cards of your choice rather than getting a random card that you may not want.

Played 100 times.
155 credits down
Won 4 cards (no Special Event card)

Sooo, that's about 39 credits/card I think?

At least, this scratch game is a helluva lot less frustrating than the old center-piece + 5 dots around it game. You immediately know whether you won something or not, while with the previous scratchgame, whichever order you scratched, you'd feel cheated. (start on the outer ring, get 3 hearts, scratch the center, still nothing, or the other way round, scratch the center ring, find a nice prize, move to the outer ring, and get less than 3 hearts..)

I know, I just had to comment that I have even more cards than you.

I liked all that, instead, since it was like a real scratch card. By the way, now we also have 2 possible prizes pro scratch card but the chances to win don't look to get doubled, anyway - maybe they are even less...

Played 50 more times
100 credits down
Won 8 cards (still no Special Event card)

But, with the earlier results, that's 32 credits/card now.
Cards I won are a real mix, some older Virtuagirl cards, like Tracy Gold - Becharm (1465), but also newer cards, like Nicole Love - Laid-back Love (0289).

For science!
Played 250 times by now
Total credits invested (after subtracting wins): 295
Cards won: 22, including 1 Special Event card. (0406) Alyssia Kent - Splurging

Avarage cost/card: 13.41 credits (Do note how it varies across my posts, a bad streak really gives a bad ratio, while 13.41 could be considered "Okay-ish" for a tripple-diamond customer (great if you consider the priceless Special Event Card).

Other stuff I noticed:

• Never saw the 50 credits prize
• The left scratchmark had more prizes than the right side one, but it did happen that I won nothing on the left side scratch, but did have something on the right side scratch.
• Dual-prizes happen. But, the ones I saw were all 5cr + 5cr. Didn't see any 10cr + 10cr, also no mismatches like 5cr + 10cr or 5cr + card. Not saying those things can't happen, just that I didn't see it happen it 250 plays.

Played 5 times. 1 win of 5 credits. Result: spent 20 credits.

Bought 20 scratch cards. So I spent 100 credits.
I was lucky enough to win 90 credits back and a 2018 card. So I at least didn't end up wasting a ton of credits at least. I did end up playing a few more times but wasn't as lucky.

I played 13 times.
At the end I'm at plus 15 credits (enough for Gia's card that is more expensive again, because of a crappy cosplay outfit).
No cards won, but that's because I have no cards left to win.

Bought 5 scratch cards for 25 credits and won 45 credits, and it was time to stop playing :)

And that surplus to my credits was more than deserved after spending some on Gia Ren's card today (not disappointed at Gia - she is a beauty - but at the content chosen for her card). I choose to think I deservedly got my money back from that purchase.

450 credits netted me:

278 scratch cards (I put the winnings back in)
1 SEC
28 other cards - 7 older, 20 newer

Won 25 credits 5 times, 50 credits 0 times, the initial 5 cards put me in the positive, actually, but rest was, as expected, downhill. The cards I got randomly were actually OK, this time.

wise move

I don't normally like the scratch card game, as I'm not too keen on getting a pig-in-a-poke card I probably don't want.

So I usually just decide to throw away 40 or 50 credits in the forlorn hope of picking up a special event card.

This time: invested 40 credits, got 5 credits back. Net loss 35 credits. I'm out. 😉

Bought 3, won nothing at all.

I bought 110.

I only play these as I want to get the SEC cards that I am not allowed to buy. I think I am about 200 credits down, won about 10 cards I did not want. A bunch of credits I used to buy more cards.

I just want to get the special event cards. I am getting pretty frustrated on that.


On another note. Who is the Girl on the scratchcard? I cant find here anywhere?

@Spawnos

That is Liya Silver.

thanks guys for the reply. The tatoo gives it away for those in the know. So now I find another I like who has a SEC I cannot get, and worst of all its with Jia, which is one of my top faves and could not get that card with her or her other SEC.

I just finished 100 scratchers.

I can only get credits but ended up about 60 to the good so I am satisfied that my hour invested was worth it.

I didn't play so nothing lost and nothing gained for me

While I appreciate the gamblers paying for my porn; the exclusive cards are still a real bummer as far as I'm concerned.

LOL ... < $6 worth of credits for an hour of work was worth it? I hope it was at least entertaining in some way.

Considering there is nothing besides credits for you to win the odds could be that the longer you play the more you'll win?

@dar2112v

I hit 25 credits at least 6 times and small denomiations many more times. But there certainly weren't any particular "streaks of good luck" along the way so I can't speak to your question based on my experiences.

I didn't have any set limit but figured that 60 up, 100 scratchers and 1 hour was about right so left after that.

Due to my ability to only win credits I almost never play any of these games and normally when gambling I always end up losing so in this case I am happy with where I left off.

It's an hour that I didn't have anything better to do so I don't consider the time particularly *****. Clicking and swiping the mouse over the 'tickets' certainly isn't taxing physically so I don't consider it work in any way. And it is mildly entertaining from a suspense standpoint.

As to your other comment about the SEC's I am also personally not in favor of the company keeping some of their product mostly out of reach of their customers but unfortunately it seems to be continuing so Totem must be seeing a financial benefit or they would have quit long ago. I suspect that the silent masses who don't participate in this forum lean heavily towards supporting this scheme by continuing to buy the product and playing the games despite the sometime vociferous complaints seen here.

Money talks and all else walks...

Money talks and all else walks...

yep

From my point of view it is pointless to play.

I have all the SEC cards and I have all the currently available cards in the store. I also have several thousand credits from the Black Friday and Christmas reloads.

For those of us who have all the SEC cards perhaps Totem ought to consider offering a JOKER card if we happen to win the SEC card. I may have been tempted to play for this.

However please do not offer any more new SEC cards that are only available through scratchcards. I just think that this unfair for those who do not wish to gamble.

thanks guys for the reply. The tatoo gives it away for those in the know. So now I find another I like who has a SEC I cannot get, and worst of all its with Jia, which is one of my top faves and could not get that card with her or her other SEC.

To be fair @spawnos that SEC was easily obtainable if you were willing to spend credits on the Advent Caledar.

Do not despair too much however - Liya and Jia did three duo cards and although I cannot guarantee this I don't think the other two cards will be SEc although they might be more expensive than the standard cards.

So I spent a fair bit of credits and got quite a few cards valued at more than I spent if I had bought the cards. All in all I saved about 18.4 credits. (meh) Except for the fact many of them are medium and standard quality... which I've stopped buying...

Then there are two cc/cc+ cards I disabled, because I didn't care for the model. All that taken into concideration, the cc+ cards I kept would have cost 28.75 each instead of 15.

OK, OK, I kept about half of the medium and standard cards. My point is, that it's all in how you look at it. Sure, in the end I got more "value" than I paid for. However, since I disabled close to half the cards I lost out in the end.

Not to mention I was hoping for a special event card... sigh... I didn't get one. =( Oh well.

So, if you're picky, the scratch off games might not be a good idea. I'm rather fond of the check the cards you want, and redraw the rest games. I rarely end up paying full price for cards I want that way. Not to mention I don't end up feeling like I ***** credits on cards I don't want... Like the 59 cards currently disabled... sigh...

*****UPDATE*****
I bought a few more tickets... On this run, I made out like a bandit. 14 more cards, and 3 of them were special events. Only 1... maybe 2 that I'm not keeping. Do I dare buy more? Hmmmmm

I've got 0 (zero) tickets so far. Didn't win anything either. Scratch game didn't have to give me anything. I would say a classic win / win situation ... 😎

As to your other comment about the SEC's I am also personally not in favor of the company keeping some of their product mostly out of reach of their customers but unfortunately it seems to be continuing [...]

Totem has called the devil, now they have to accept that there are extremely dissatisfied customers as long as these ***** SECs exist. I also feel that this is a lousy trick for making money, only to be able to complete the set of a favorite girl through gambling or advance purchases (e.g. calendar).

Again just my 2 ct on that
