Charming...I spend endless hours doing extensive research & planning by playing the game hundreds of times at home, then you come along & want to nick my findings!Originally Posted by Dynamic Entertainment
Mind if if i rob your theory work Rob?
Seriously...I don't mind at all.
Go for it Steph!

Unfortunately, I'm driving to work that evening, though
Back to play your cards right, somebody won it at my quiz last night.
I was not expecting that to happen, as it's only 3 weeks since it was last won...and the win rate is only 1 in 14!
Blimey, I bet Brucie and his production team didn't put this much research into the original gameThe number of cards I use was dictated by the win rate I wanted, so I started with that & then worked backwards.
It was important to get this right, as a high win rate would mean small jackpots & a low win rate would mean massive jackpots but people might be put off...as it would hardly ever get won.
I knew roughly how much cash I'd be taking each week & I knew what sort of level I'd like the maximum jackpot to reach (around £400). From that, I worked out that I needed a win rate of about 1 in 14.
Once I knew the win rate I needed, I played out the game many hundreds of times at home with various different numbers of cards - some where you could change the first card & some where you could not. This showed me how many cards I needed to use & whether I could let them change the first card in order to get the required win rate.
It worked out that using 8 cards & giving them the option to change the first card produced the win rate I was looking for...about 1 in 14.
Common sense suggested that 8 cards were best split into 2 rows of 4, so I then went out & got the materials to make up the board.
I always feel that the more planning you can do when trying something new, the less change there is of things not working out how you hope!
Nice one Rob

As you can probably tell, I'm a strong believer that the more research & planning you put into something new the less chance there is of is not working out how you expect & the less chance there is of problems being encountered.
It's common sense, really.
