Slot machine rates - collecting data (calculator/log parser + sheet)

Slot machine rates - collecting data (calculator/log parser + sheet)
Posted 2021-05-07 10:14:12

What's this

Quite simply, a thing that you paste your slot machine logs in to get a bunch of text that can be pasted into a spreadsheet for data manipulation. See the calculator (a text parser, really, it's only incidentally a calculator) page for more info.

Tools

If you've used my level up log cruncher from this thread, these function similarly.

Click here for the calculator parser

Click here for the spreadsheet template

Here are some visual instructions for using both of these things

Data collection

To share your data, throw your slot machine logs into the parser, paste the output into a Google sheet (doesn't have to be the template one if you don't want to use it) and link it here! This should take like, a couple of minutes of copying and pasting. The more data we can collect, the more accurate the calculated rates will be!

Data will be continuously added to the master sheet managed by Websteak, who graciously provided the sample logs (671 of them!) used for coding and testing.

Master sheet

Thanks for reading, have at it!

Exciting news! I overhauled the Master Spreadsheet with a calculation that determines the expected return of each slot spin, and in the long run even with the abysmal rates of the jackpot you DO make a profit!

The Expected Rate of Return per Slot Spin is Approximately 14.9 SC!

Of course, that number is extremely dependent on the valuation of how much each prize is worth. I searched the market and tried to come up with a reasonable estimate of what these items are selling for, and I even make sure to pick the low end. Feel free to make a copy of the master spreadsheet for yourself and play around with the numbers.

However, even if you never sell any of your item-based prizes, with the current rate of the SC prizes alone (valuing everything else at zero) you are expected to lose 0.2 SC per spin, and I wouldn't be surprised if the true value breaks even. But this does not count all of the items you would earn, which do have some value, so even if my estimate is super off or the market changes drastically, you should still come out ahead!

Now watch the devs change the odds on us and invalidate all the previous data

Onwards to the updated numbers! With new data we have new and better prize percentages which are also available for viewing in the master spreadsheet! Thank you everyone!

Thank you so much for crunching all this data! I'll be really glad to see how the stats shake out.

Here's my template sheet copy with my data in it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A-qxOvsQqlGTkfyIVgutmXW6Mg2a4VcgNC1ffN08Kzc

And a visual for people browsing this thread (I can edit this out if you'd prefer not to have individual stats showing)

I got it working (eventually). It didnt like me copying my data into a text file and pasting it from there, but eventually got it sorted.

So what I got from this is that I have a slots problem /j

Here's my sheet, 2985 spins.

Thanks so much for setting this up! Makes tracking a whole lot easier than I expected.

Hi, I did my own analysis of 5000 spins. I guess I could incorporate my data into your sheet. 😅

Going to edit this and say all the data that was provided in the spreadsheet's format up to this point is added in!

If you have more to send, please post here again with a NEW sheet, that is, do not include your previous spins please! That way I can copy/paste the whole thing into the master sheet and not have to worry about duplicates.

Thank you all again!

Oof after the data parser froze on me halfway through and wiped everything, I'm finally finished entering all of my data. 🙈

Here is the data for 8184 spins.



I will continue to keep playing the slots, and wish all of you good luck! 🍀😁
