Description:
Give Slot Machine Ticket (50040) as rewards for other combinations besides Jackpot, in much lower amounts, to increase availability of this resource/decrease price and allow for an easier accessibility for Happy Balloon and other costumes dependant on this ticket.

Why is this a good idea?
Slot Machine Ticket on only Jackpots make it a really RNG heavy and expensive resource.

By rewarding on other combinations, on lower amounts, you don’t need to hit the Jackpot to leave with a fair amount of those tickets when spending Muh Coins to roll the slot. Be mindful that Muh Coins are an expensive resource as well, so most times you end up spending millions for nothing.

Using myself as an example: I have spent over 2k Muh Coins and never got a single ticket.

What risks or downsides does it have?
It will decrease the price of Slot Machine Ticket on the market, so it will impact those who are hoarding huge amounts of them.

Additional Info:
As far as I understood, Happy Balloon was supposed to be easier to access after the Slot Machine Ticket change, but almost nothing changed. A few people got it for cheaper but the price will stabilize at around 1b+ still due to the RNG-heavy process of slots and the tickets.

Agreed, right now Slots feel like an all or nothing scenario with how little payout you receive when minor rewards are disbursed. Back then, getting a Happy Balloon was technically a second roll of the dice, which lowkey justified the hefty Happy Balloon price tag (the economy will always tell how you much things really cost, it just can’t lie).

Now that the old system is at play when Happy Balloon is readily purchasable…only the pre-update hoarders benefit and are most likely holding right now. So yes to this.

+1 I’ve personally gambled over 10k muh coins since the update and have only gotten 59 tickets. (x2 25 and x3 3). It makes sense the price of Happy Balloon is the way it is even after the update given the current rate.

I totally agree, I spent close to 3k Muh Coins and didn’t get a single ticket. I believe they could add other ways to earn tickets or cut in half the number of tickets needed to get the Happy Balloon.

It doesn’t make sense that the balloon is still costing the same price when the idea was to reduce it from 1.5 billion to 600m.
