I've lost four days in a row. I thought it was supposed to be 50% chance of win during this beta test mode. Shows how unlucky I am, I can't even win a prize of nothing.
I must confess the losing sound has grown on me but I'd like to hear the winning sound now. I still think the scratching sound needs improving though.
I'd like to point out though that if you scratch one card off each line and get a blank in all three, there's no point in continuing so there's no need to hear the losing sound very often. I think there should be more incentive to scratch off all nine unless you win before. Maybe if you lose there should be a bit more surprise on the last card. Not a prize but maybe an amusing gif that could be changed now and again. Don't know how easy that is to do.
I agree that it could be changed to only scratch one card at a time but I also think that an additional option could be a button to scratch off a whole row in one go. I know that's not the point but anyone who wanted to do it the fun way could still do it one by one and then as soon as you know you've lost the row you could do it quickly.
I haven't even got two in a row yet so there's very little excitement which I presume is the point, to get two and then be waiting on the third card. Obviously shouldn't happen every time but should happen sometimes to be more exciting especially seen as losing will be more common than winning.

awood88, I'll see with the our flash developer about getting two jokers more often, rather than just one.
Yes there's a 50% chance of winning but only when there are prizes left. Since this time around, it will be used to populate a 40-player tournament (as you can see in the 'secret' description), so once all places are taken, then there's no more left to be won. It was set to 3 winners per day because of the rather small testing group, but I just increased it to 6 winners per day.

I just won my first card. And it seems I had totally the wrong idea about how to win. I was under the impression you needed to get 3 in a row but I just won with three seemingly random jokers. That may explain why my last post made little sense. I have in fact come close to winning most times if all you need is three jokers. Seems like it wasn't as obvious as admin first thought or maybe I'm just a little slow.
I like the set up after you've won. It's very clear and self explanatory. If only the tourney was real. But what will happen if not all the tickets for the tourney are won. I suppose the odds will be configured so that it's unlikely but this means that those who scratch their cards last are extremely unlikely to win, which is kind of unfair on those countries that are asleep or at work at 00:00 gmt.

It seems most of you don't enter your party accountname (or just something random) - is it because you don't know how to do it or because of an error or simply because you didn't think it was necessary since we're testing? I'm just checking to make sure there's nothing wrong with it
We intend to launch it to all our members on monday and the first tournament will be on wednesday.
