A few weeks ago you told me, one day i would get the "Ginebra-Bellucci-Special-Event-Card".
Im not the biggest fan of the games here, but today i played the scratchgame and got this card
plus a few credits.
You are a clairvoyant, thank you.

@totem

I played a few more rounds to win the second Special-Event-Card.
I was lucky and got the message, that i won the second Special-Event-Card
too, but the card is not in my collection. In the earlier rounds i got
2 times a 100-credit-win, but only one win is in my history.

Can you check it please?
Thank you.

You're either lying or you're the luckiest guy on here. I just ***** 1500 credits and didn't get a single one. 😒

I put in ten credits only and got a special card... it does happen! ;)

Such is the lottery of these things!

@gkar45

So the odds are not equal and everyone does not have the same chance. Thanks for clarifying that. I won't waste my money in the future again

@Xrystyrion - as with any game of chance some will win and some will lose, and if people keep on playing some will win heavily and some will lose heavily. That is an inherent feature of the odds not being biased -they are the same for everyone but the results differ drastically. Do you play the lottery and then ***** each week that you have not won?

I have only played the scratch card game once. I invested only about 60 credits of my original credit balance, won a special event card, got a discount on another card (and would have had two or three more if I had not had a full collection) and came out with more credits than I started with.

The whole of life is somewhat of a gamble... no fun if you don't play, just don't put your entire life on just one gamble unless you have some insider knowledge. :)

And here I was waiting for the ginebra bellucci and Sky Blue to be released like a normal card, not realizing it was a special event card.
Damn I finally went through the trouble to pay for quite some credits. But I don't want to spend any of my credits on random cards just to have a chance on getting these special event cards.

And I don't even now how to get them. This actually managed to piss me off, that I didn't realize it before buying credit. Damn.

@ItachiU
Skye Blue's card is a normal card that you can purchase and download.

Not the one shown on the event banner. It has another outfit, so I reckon it's from a different of Skye Blue. And why would they show her if she is not part of the special event cards.

So pretty certain that she has a 2nd card as a special event card part of this "Crazy week".
Dammit, I ***** the fact that more of these money hungry "Surprise mechanics" such as loot boxes, managed to end up here also.

We ought to replace the teams lunch with surprise boxes and see how surprised they are when hungry employees get goldfish, recoil hammers or old boots! ;)

@Xrystyrion - to expand on @gkar45 's explanation

For the scratch card game, as far as anyone can tell, the odds of winning one of you as yet unpurchased cards are the the same for everyone. However, if you have only a few such cards yet to buy then the probability of that card being a particular one are increased relative to someone who has a lot of unpurchased cards simply because there are fewer from which to choose the prize. The odds of winning something in the first place are the same for everyone, the odds of winning a particular card once you have won are higher if there are only a few to choose from - in the extreeme case if you only have one unpurchased card then, if you do win, that will be the card you get.

However, this is independant of winning Special Event cards as, again as far as I can tell, the chances of winning one of these is the same for everybody - but again the chances of winning a particular one depend on how many you have do not yet own.

@ItachiU

And why would they show her if she is not part of the special event cards.

I don't know, but I am pretty sure that they have done the same sort of thing before. There is no strong reason to think that the girls shown on the announcement have any particular relationship with the offers being made - though it would be nice if there were.

Well said @gkar45 @TheEmu and all other members who have shared such great information!

I hope everyone's Crazy Week is going well : )

Thus far, from the various days of the summer celebration promotions I have collected 49 cards! I would have never been able to acquire so many amazing cards in such a short time at such a fantastic price if not for this crazy week of deals!

I would again like to express my appreciation to Team Totem and the iStripper staff for offering these fun and deeply discounted events for all of us to enjoy. No matter if this if your first day at iStripper or if you been here since the beginning - everyone can have fun in the sun together : )

And, after today...WE STILL HAVE TWO MORE BEACH DAYS TO GO!!!!!

It's likely that tomorrow's promotion (which will be the final promotion of Crazy Week) will be a 10-card booster pack with the option to redraw selected cards at the cost of 1 credit per redraw. Based upon what I've read in other threads, booster packs only contain cards that are 45 days old or older. Unless Totem states otherwise, don't plan to keep spamming the redraw button in hopes that Skye Blue will appear. 😋

@ItachiU

Totem has many photos that are not part of any card. Every time I buy credits, I get this piccy of Dianna in a red dress in the thank you e-mail.

Any idea of how many peoples would like to get this card? Your pic of Skye Blue is probably just from an outfit that may never be used.

@gkar45 and @Corbomite

Thanks for the clarification!!!!

That means...ONLY ONE MORE BEACH DAY!!!!

Only one Skye Blue card has been released yet. As far as I know. And that card is a 'regular' card. And I doubt they would release a 'special' card as part of an event when the the event is almost over.

I'm sensing that they might be releasing Skye Blue new card for regular sale tomorrow. Either that, or just after the crazy week ends.

Totem uses photos of girls that best fit the TGIF promotion even if the card featuring that outfit has not been released or doesn't even exist. A TGIF promotion in April 2018 featured Lil Vos in a bunny outfit holding a basket full of Easter eggs. I believe this was to promote a rocket pack or free pack promotion where the line of packs to purchase were shown as eggs. However, this photo was created specifically for that TGIF promotion and (sadly 😢) no such card was ever created. See this thread for details:

Wszystko o iStripper / Who is the Easter model?

Who was the honey bunny in the Easter promotion? I have all of the bunny cards, or so I thought, but I don't recognize the girl at all. Was she from a card?

Ultimately, the photos are simply "window dressing" to help provide a theme for each TGIF promotion and are not commitments or previews for releases that week or any time in the future. (Of course, that doesn't stop me from hoping that Totem eventually produces a card named "Lil Bunny Vos Vos". 😂 )

What a pity for Lil Vos' one... but if you check Lukaszr's site, you will see that instead bikini card of Skye Blue exists!
By the way... anyone could say to me who is the girl in yellow bikini?

By the way... anyone could say to me who is the girl in yellow bikini?

I believe that's Francys Belle in her upcoming XXX card, "Oily Day".

Thank you!

I never got this TGIF post in my News section. Is this because of the server issues, or is it something else?

I have only played the scratch card game once. I invested only about 60 credits of my original credit balance, won a special event card, got a discount on another card (and would have had two or three more if I had not had a full collection) and came out with more credits than I started with.

@TheEmu
Forgive me if I find this laughably hard to believe and not helpful to me. Your odds are different as explained by @gkar45 . I'm just not going to engage with the slot machine mechanics anymore because it's quite clear that I have very little chance at the moment.

@ItachiU
You're only Gold level so far. Just save your money and get the cards you want in the Girl Store. There's really no point in the loot box games at our level if your aim is to get the Special Event Cards.

@Xrystyrion - No my odds, as I explained were not different. So much so that when I played the scratch card game I still "won" the discounted cards option (more than once) even though I already had a full collection. I happened to be lucky, you happened to be unlucky.

I will try to make it even clearer. The scratch card game seems to work exactly like a physical scratch card game. It is as if there are a set of pre-printed scratch cards and when you buy one of these cards you get one at random without any account being taken of what you have in your collection. As a result everybody has exactly the same chance of winning a discount, everyone has the same chance of winning a "cash prize", and everyone has the same chance of winning a special event card. This extends even to the point that you can have a winning card that you can't use because you already own all the possible cards. The explanation given by @gkar45 does not contradict this but explains why the odds of winning the discount on a particular card or winning a particular special event card vary even though the odds of getting a winning scratch card do not.

Not having access to any special inside information I can not be absolutely certain of the above, but

1) It accords with what I have observed of the game - some lose, some win.
2) It is both simple and fair
3) It may even be illegal to adjust the odds depending on the player's situation

Point three is based on the knowledge that in the US a casino can not legally adjust the odds on a slot machine even in favour of a heavy loser. If they, as they quite often do, want to encourage such a player to come back they can offer other inducements (such as a free room for the night) but they can not fudge the odds to partialy cancel out his losses. I do not know if there are similar rules covering Totem's scratch cards, but I would not be surprised if there were.

Does anyone know if redraw pack contains new cards as well?
