Odds for online games

Although this topic was posted about a while ago. I thought I would bring it up again as the first company, Blizzard is now starting to comply with the new online gaming regulations from China. They are required to disclose “loot box item odds”. This might eventually apply to Gems of War if they wish to expand their market into China.

I would say that as a community we already have a fairly good idea what the Chest odds are (even without official disclosure) through our collective data gathering.

The odds for the chests are already available in the games data, which is how the chest website was working. It broke due to the 3.0 upgrade, but the data is still being transmitted. So it wouldn’t really be a big deal for the devs to make this more visible if/when they choose to, since they’re not hiding it now.
