Simple and cute level ! You need to add more logic to make wining money comes out from TV and it would be perfect !

You really need to set level link and picture from level in this thread.

If you have 5 minutes, please play my versus level Mad house (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=56662-Mad-House) LBP.me (http://lbp.me/v/z4bz-y)		2011-05-21 17:37:00

Hey BigSackBrother,

I'm actually not fond of gambling machines, but I did really like how you used the Audio Tweaker to project the sense that you were indeed inside of a casino! I also liked how you designated the number of points to each story character depending on when you met them in the story mode. Quite clever! Sackpot definitely felt like an actual slot machine the first time I played through, but I noticed that if I replayed after that first time the appearances of each combination would become predictable; therefore, it doesn't remain random anymore. There appears to be ways of getting around that problem though, since the Randomizer tool on LBP2 is known for not being random unless if you take extra steps to ensure its randomness. I've seen threads about it in the LBP2 Help! section, so it might be worth looking around there. When I was playing, this is the lineup I kept getting after playing 4 different times even after I left and came back:

Each letter represents the first letter of each characters' names, except for B which stands for Sackbot
HEA
BBA
LLL
SLV
SSC
HLH
SSS
VVS
EAA
SLS
VSV
SSS

I wonder if others kept getting the same. :o		2011-05-25 23:00:00

Hi , liked your level, quite unusual for sackboy!
loved the arcade feel backdrop and the music selection feature while you play..
Overall I thought, your idea was original (haven't seen another fruit machine) for LBP2..
You have a had a fair few plays, so I'm sure your happy.

Thanks,		2011-05-26 17:02:00

I thought it was great! I think it needs some sort of prize as an incentive for players to continue. Maybe a photo of a gold cup that they can put up in their pod and gaze at with pride. :-)2011-05-27 18:41:00

I left you comments within the review option on the game. Good level, maybe somehow many the outcomes more random and like I said, possibly make it more like a bandit: add a nudge button if you can and different wagers so you can get different outcomes to the betting. I wouldn't have a clue how to do this, but I'm sure someone will help you out.2011-05-27 20:58:00

Please check out the update that I released a few hours ago - I think you will love some of those prizes you can get... Like a mini-slot or a mini-mini-slot......		2011-06-07 00:13:00

Please check out the update that I released just a few hours ago. I think you will like that one much better. One of many thinks that I have fixed is a gooooooooood random of creatures. Let me know what you think.... 		2011-06-07 00:15:00

K, finally got around to playing.

The intro is a bit confusing when it shows the three Avalons.

And gameplay didn't really speak to me personally, gambling just by luck isn't too fun :/

Looked great though, definitely good visually. That's a good thing

Also, when you are replying to multiple people at once, don't multipost- click the multiquote button on the bottom right of their post to do it all in one post 		2011-06-07 22:41:00

What is so confusing about Avalon? When you get 3xAvalon you get 1 000 points. Thats to show how it works. And BTW, there is something I dont understand. You said that the gameplay didn't really speak to you personally, but you couldnt have tryed out my level for that long. You only got 1000 point, and you start whit 1000. And I think that is bit rude that you talk about gameplay if you dont try it out more.. As the name said, it is a slot machine.

I am glad that you like the visually.		2011-06-08 00:01:00

I played this a couple of weeks ago with a buddy,
On returning to the new updated version I was impressed with how great it looks. The sack Vegas sign complete with waving sackboy is really neat. I found the gameplay to be relaxing and addictive. I wouldn't have a clue how it works but there must be a lot of logic and randomiser work. I lked that the prize pot kept building up whereas in real life the villains who operate these machines set the payout percentages pretty low.
For any new sackboys playing if you collect even the first level of prizes at 10 000 and look at them on your moon they'll unlock the macrochip badge. Overall a nice quirky concept that I'd like to see more of. I don't know how bursting the thermo is but maybe some random events in the foreground or far background could add to the random appeal, Elvis walking past, a couple of showgirls, the cast of Casino		2011-06-08 00:04:00

@EnochRoot:
I am glad that you like my level and find the gameplay in it The thermo is pretty high of all the logic that it takes to controll the scorecounter and the random Sack.... But I will see if can do something more fun out of it.

Thanks agian for taking your time to try out my level! 		2011-06-08 00:23:00

Hey, just played your level. I'm not that big a fan of slot machines but I did play this for a good 15 minutes. The design is flawless and I really like the atmosphere achieved by the faded music in the background. Nicely done.

There isn't a whole lot of skill to it, maybe allow the player to select how much they wish to put into the machine in a later update? It would add a bit more strategy as opposed to hitting X over and over. But like I say for someone who doesn't like slots machines, I spent a fair bit of time playing it as it was weirdly engrossing. 		2011-06-19 15:42:00

The Cover looks great, and the levels even better, but one thing I would change is the prize machine details, other wise its a great level!
If you have some time, could you check out my Car showroom, not for the level exactly, but for the prizes, unless you know of any level improvements.
Check it out on lbp.me under http://lbp.me/v/09vxnv , thanks		2011-06-20 02:09:00
