I do pretty well at scratch games. I did Golden Ticket a bit. Did ok. Although "Golden Ticket" may be too much on the nose luck wise. 😕 😀

Scratchers used to be fun, but I've pretty much lost every time I played for the last few months now. These ones I got hit harder than usual.......down 132 credits with nothing to show for it. Judging by some of the comments on here, either my luck is just crap, or bots are trying to talk these scratchers up to rope in suckers. Regardless, I think I'll stick to other events where I don't have to rely on luck to get something good.

The Video I shared is from a Previous Event in July the 25 game.

Всё о iStripper / Summer Sale - Q&A

An Interesting observation. When the Progress bar is nearly full ( 7/8) it will enter a Zoom Mode, and it looks as if the Bar Starts all over. But what you are seeing is the Last 8th of the progress b...

I had edited Down the Video to show the Transition from 7/8 complete to then the Zoomed in 1/8 portion.
So you didn't get to see all of the Winnings...
But in the linked Post above
in total, It cost me 515 credits when it was all said and done.

Also,

I agree with All who said the First Filling of the Progress bar should be a SEC card or a Joker Card.
after that, i'd be okay with a Gift Card.

But for how much it takes to fill the Bar the 1st time, the reward should be Bigger.
That's my opinion as a Member, who takes part in these events.

A gift card for filling the bar the 1st time is not Good Enough !

Agreed. But at least a joker is possible with the Golden Ticket. I like the low roller and high roller idea this time around. 👍

The other thing to point out is this,
I have a full Collection so there are no Cards for me to win, when I play.
So I don't get any cards to help offset the credits I use.
I'm only Playing for credits, or the SEC, or a Joker, or gift cards.

That's true and important to point out. I sometimes forget that. Just saying.

I'm only Playing for credits, or the SEC, or a Joker, or gift cards.

Because of this Statement i would like to bring in another important Fact,
which is forgotten most of the Times.

Everyone of us made that little hook during the Software Installation, to agree the Terms and Conditions.
Let's take a look on Point 4. Ownership and this part from it.

YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE CREDIT SYSTEM HAVE NO
MONETARY VALUE AND CANNOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH.
NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE FOR THE PURCHASE OF CREDITS.

I think this is saying everything in my Opinion.
Or with another words it is each to it's own what to do with his Money.
And if you can't take responsibility for that then you should just leave it.

No one needs to own every single Card from the Store, No one is ***** you to do that,
and i think Totem will be not Mad about you, if you don't have every single Card from the Store,
or if you are not participating in the TGIF-Offers.

But i think it is the wrong way to ***** Totem to go in an specific Direction, just for a few of you.
Because i think you could loose your Focus for what you have coming to this Platform,
to enjoy Beautiful Girls, and not to get distracted from reading annoying Comments.

Because and just to bring in another simple Fact, once you bought a Show, you can enjoy it
as much as you want. Because we are all here on this Platform for one specific Reason,
and if you don't know what i mean, just stand up now and watch yourself in the mirror.

Because slowly but staedy these type of Comments, and i'm not talking from the quoted one above,
are ruining a nice and peaceful being together on this Platform.

Just my two Cent's 😎

Lucky you...
But for us who don't have all the cards, playing becomes discriminating, since unwanted cards are often won. I too would like to play just for credits, SEC and Jokers...

lol.. the rate the bar is filling when it reaches the end the giftcard should be enogh for 3 sec shows...
So done playing .. the rest of you best of luck..✌✌✌

There is no chance in this, for people owning the whole regular collection.

On the contrary, winning SEC or Joker cards in many of these games is rare. Most of the time, when these cards are won it often costs a lot of credits, and is not compensated by the acquisition of desired or unwanted cards. In addition, the gain of credits is often less than the expense. That's why I said that the big winner is Totem.

Il n'y a aucune chance dans cela, pour les gens possédant toute la collection régulière.

Au contraire, gagner des cartes SEC ou Joker dans plusieurs de ces jeux est rare. La plupart du temps, lorsque ces cartes sont gagnées cela coûte souvent très cher en crédits, et n'est pas compensé par l'acquisition de cartes désirée ou non. De plus les gains de crédits sont souvent inférieur à la dépense. C'est pourquoi je disais que le grand gagnant est Totem.

I couldn't have said it in better words ...

So, I'll share my personal experience too.

I gave up after a while and bought 500 credits, twice, like...3 days ago, and I got instant remorse with the result that I had. It has been a personal lesson for me to never indulge on these kind of luck based games ever again, and to move on from Totem's personal view of their own following base, which are the same people paying for their unique content (becuase this is why I like and support iStripper, not the gambling, even tho I've made myself an hypocrit just for trying to push my luck now).

I've won many credits back in the process, probably doubled the amount of roll that I could have made, but still...I've won nothing of value (Joker Cards). It's outrageous on the behalf of everyone supporting the platform. If only the progression system worked out as many suggested, to actually give a consolation reward with a guaranteed Joker Card after spending at least 50€ or a little more, I dunno...

But I'm just venting, I know nothing will ever be done to solve this, because no one is ***** me to own SEC cards.

@Serpentine10 don't beat yourself up too much. I bet many on here like me, have played many games only to realise after that there are better ways to build collections. Not all games work very well for customers, while other promotions certainly do. So yes this weeks are not so good, especially with the progress bar only going to a gift card.
Weeks like this I just keep an eye on the flash sales - you can get good results there, but have to be patient.

flash sales

is indeed a nice way to get discounts, but dont forget to turn previews on more frequently to get the most out of them.

Good point, every 10 minutes - other wise you would have to be very, very, very, very, patient. 😄

no time for patience, credits come and go quickly😄

Have all the cards already and this is too expensive for my ***** for the risk vs reward (Joker card). That first card goal should be a joker not a lowly gift card for 50 credits a shot.

Most of the scratch games I like with exception to my two cents. It is more like my 50 dollars before you win 4 credits. I never seem to win and it just eats up credits. There shoud be more winning scatch cards even if it is ownly 2 credits.
At least I wouldn't feel like its a waste of time. The golden ticket game while is too expensive to play often at least gives you a chance to win. Most of the time i've won at least the price of the ticket or several cards.

Hit the 250 cards earned in 1 day achievement, still no Joker. Waiting for the bank to call with all the swipes I've been making. Never got a Joker card, apparently I picked the wrong event to try for 1st one.

Would be nice if they showed the actual percentage of pulling a Joker or SE card from these games.

So dropped 5500 credits before bank put a stop to it. Therefore, didn't even get to get the 500 cards in a day achievement. Still no Joker or SE card. Is it always like this, or am I extremely unlucky? Only really want like 2-3 of the SE cards.

Not dropping that kind of money each event though. Probably done with this one too.

Does having the full collection actually increase odds of pulling Joker/credits? I just imagined you would still hit that "you've won 3-5 cards" section but since you had all the cards it would just give you nothing.

Was there a particular event that you feel you won more Joker cards on? Looking like slot machine might be the one people have better luck on plus there's an achievement for a jackpot.

Does having the full collection actually increase odds of pulling Joker/credits?

No, not at all.

Also it seems to me that the level of difficulty in the games has increased to get Joker and SEC cards.

Est-ce que le fait d'avoir la collection complète augmente les chances d'obtenir des Joker/crédits ?

Non, pas du tout.

Il me semble aussi que le niveau de difficulté des jeux a augmenté pour obtenir les cartes Joker et SEC.

@needyouw0rstway - for me, the best place to win Jokers was on the "Joker" slot machine that ran last year - where as you span the reels the letters J O K E and R would fill up. Average cost of a Joker worked out to be 150-200 credits but it explains why I am now sat on 18 of the little buggers! 😉

Also it seems to me that the level of difficulty in the games has increased to get Joker and SEC cards.

Definately true. It did cost me my jokers to get the last few SEC's. Anyway, a lot of people will be climbing the ladder of the "Largest Collection Awards" in the next Hall of Fame, 'cause I'm out. Too much frustration of keeping the collection completed, going back to just picking the cards I really like... and relax... and save money.

After reading today's TGIF news and reading the comment "These games are very generous :-P," I decided (against my better judgement) to try the Golden Ticket game. First attempt, nothing and 50 credits gone. Second attempt, a Joker card. Yes! I hit the jackpot. I mean, the Joker card is in bold font on the news page, so it must be valueable, right?

Wrong! Sure, I got to pick any one card I wanted, and I chose a Special Event card. But, realize I spent 100 credits to get a single card worth 20 credits. Even if I got the Joker card on my first attempt, how is spending 50 credits to get a card worth 20 credits providing any value to me as a customer? This just puts more money in iStripper's pockets. I should have just bought six cards in my wish list for a total of 90 credits.

If iStripper is reviewing these comments here and wants to provide their customers a real value on TGIF, dump the scratchers and offer us more of the discounts on cards (eg, 20% off cards in our wish list, buy 4 get one free, etc). Makes us happy not sorry. Happy customers buy more. Sorry customers take their money elsewhere.

@WillTip4AStrip - but if, as seems likely because Totem keep on doing it, the games result in customers in general spending more then they are working well even if they are causing some customers to spend less. As it happens I have recently stopped playing the games because they now do not seem to be so attractive to me as they once were. But that does not imply that I think that Totem should change what they are doing with these games to be more in my favour - on the contrary I think they should tweak them to be as much in their favour as possible when averaged over the whole of the membership.

But, realize I spent 100 credits to get a single card worth 20 credits.
Even if I got the Joker card on my first attempt, how is spending 50 credits to get a card
worth 20 credits providing any value to me as a customer?

I think now it's time that you are deserving the Lucky Bastard Achievement,
because other "Customers" in the past paid much much more for their SEC Card.
