I just went to open a 100 coin chest. Before I could even see what the three cards where I was awarded 50 gold coins. Then the cards turned over, one being 50 gold coins. Did everything I could to not pick the 50 gold coin one, and alas it gave me the 50 gold coins. Thing is, I should have 200 now, but started with 100. It literally told me I was awarded the coins before I got to even see the three cards I could pick from.
So, ignore the three choices it gives you, apparently it's already chosen for you and they are just giving you the illusion of choice. I will be recording my gameplay from here on out, yet another lie by pixonic.

Pixonic selects random 3 prizes and then you select randomly one. At no point of this process you have any control. This is a great example of depth of deceit that Pixonic will go to to mislead players: they added another layer of prize card animation just to give you an illusion of control. What was suggested was drawing 3 random prizes and then player selecting the one he wants. Making the last selection random too defeats the purpose. |

I don't know...in the last event, I had a string of something like 6-7 300 gold wins in a row (always hitting the same card in the same space, between two components cards). If it was randomizing, it was doing a really bad job of it. Nice for me, though, because I was able to accumulate the gold I needed for a Discus pretty quickly.

Just because you see three cards, don't believe for one second that you have any chance of "selecting" anything. Your prize is randomly selected, and then they present an interface screen that gives you the illusion of choice. It's no different than when we would just click on a chest and then get presented with a prize.

Yeah I've just started opening the far right box every time. I'd like to believe it's not predetermined but I'm pretty sure the game knows what you're going to get before you make a selection lol.

You have to tie a red string around your left wrist, then stand on one foot, then wish really hard.... And then... Oh. Yay. 500 Igniter sharts.  |

It is rigged on 10 chest opens. Same thing.
If you do not see 200 coins go up while open bronze and silver crates, then you did not win coins.

Yup, it has been speculated before, but the coins appearing before your choice confirms that the 3-card Monty is just for silly show. |

I believe the three cards are just for show too; however, I believe Pixo did set it up so that players would open one of each chest to start off the event. Now if the coins increase in the future prior to choosing a card that would certainly confirm it for me that it truly is fixed!

 Like most gambling, the only way to win is to be the house. The best we can do is take the free rolls and accept the crumbs we are given. |

If it was randomizing, it was doing a really bad job of it. Nice for me, though, because I was able to accumulate the gold I needed for a Discus pretty quickly. Think of it like this:
Lets assume that you were getting the shaft for your comps, so they were 「dookie」 rewards of, say, 500 whatevers.
If 500 whatevers is a 「dookie」 prize, but still better than 300 Au, your odds may look something like:
1-25: 500 whatevers
26-50: 500 wheverers
51-100: 300 Au
Which is all they do; a cost comparison analysis with a designated "value" value. Their algorithm gets a little out of whack sometimes, like when it has 2 close values like 50m silver and 25m silver and the 50 costs 30 bucks and the 25m will cost something similar, but they are just lazy with that: when it comes to random prize valuation, they are generally spot on when making comparisons. They don't care if you won 5 dollars in au for 5 dollars or 5 dollars in comps for 5 dollars; as long as you aren't getting TOO good of a deal. They used to 「fluffernutter」 this up a LOT in the old days, like when you'd do the random pick and the low level prize was 24 hours of premium. They looked at the data after 2 or so months and that 「dookie」 ended post haste because we the players were getting FAR too good of a deal for too little investment.
Look at the big chest in the last event. NO comp prizes for the hel snaer or skadi over 500. Period.

I do this as well, center box, every time, outcome irrelevant.
I choose to believe it's because I'm a 「fluffernutter」ing anarchist  |

Most the time I don't even look at the prize selection. Saves me the aggravation.
Just pick any box then don't bother looking what the other 2 selections were.

That’s the nature of random, it can stay at one thing for awhile. Like in roulette, the ball can land on the same color for a long time, driving players mad who are betting the opposite color expecting it to switch because it has to (staying on one color seem rigged). But that’s really how it goes, it wouldn’t be random if you can predict it to switch, random can also mean it can stay on one thing for awhile. |
