There's a goblin on the Nek docks. Probably on TS too, but to be honest, as many times as I've been through there since this has been added, I can't recall one being there.  May very well be. I just wish this had been done as a "real lotto" where they pull numbers several times a week and Post the jackpot and payouts. The money sink would be HUGE if you could see the payout growing.  "The Goblins Lotto Jackpot is now, Fourty Five Platium!" I'd drop 20 gold on that. heh.  As it stands now, it's just a click fest.  click, lose.  Click lose.  Click, lose(repeat 10 times).  Click, win 2 silver.  click, lose(repeat 30 times), click, win 5 silver. I just wanna drop 5 gold on some tickets and wait in anticipation of Champaigne Wishes and Caviar Dreams. -Mal

Bleh I thought it be something like a real lotto. You get to pick your own numbers and maybe set a profile on it or say like you, dump 20 gold for a Quick Pick and wish for the best.</P> <P>Pffft, I won't be doing this or even trying it out if I have to sit there and click for every chance to win.</P> <P>I don't think it be to bad if it was like that. Once a week mention what the lotto is if over a certain amount world wide. Have a drawing once a day an hour after the servers have come up. Up the price of the lotto too at 1g per ticket. Have the small 1 sil tickets for the 5 min lottot just like Quick Draw in the pubs.</P> <P>Then you can play and if you win, you would recieve an in-game email or a popup message if you are on then.</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>been looking around for awhile now any locs of where these gobs are?</DIV>

[Byzanth]

<DIV><FONT color=#99ff00>I would imagine one would be standing next the the Gigglegivver Goblin Gamblin Game Book on the Docks in Nektulos forrest... But I don't see one either. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#99ff00>The goblin is there now.   The 2 Number pay-out is broke just get a ticket and have to destroy it to play again.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#99ff00></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#99ff00>Reminds me of "Mining Rainbows" ...  A past-time that will probably die quickly ... maybe.

Up to 10 platinum on my server- inticing enough for your "Granny"  Casino Slot machine mindset folks... So the player who does happen to Win this will be happy I'm sure- They will probably drop their cigarette ash and spill thier diet coke in their lap if they win.</FONT></DIV>

[Thakar]

For some reason, whenever I actually win, I don't gain any money...all that happens is, the game token stays in my inventory and I can't play again until I destroy it...what's up? <div></div>

[Alogain]

<DIV>well, because the 2 matching number winning tile, is bugged.  Which of course will STAY bugged, for the next month or 2, till it drains a bunch of money out of the economy.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now, if it was bugged so people were WINNING money, it would have been fixed 10 min after the patch yesterday.  Just an example of SOE 's priorities.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It was bugged in the testing, so [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] did they even put it in for?</DIV><p>Message Edited by Alogain on <span class=date_text>10-06-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:59 AM</span>
