The pay out rate should average between 90%( if Aeria is greedy) and 98%( if Aeria is generous). If it below 90% pay out rate your just conning people out of their money... kind of like with the gold keys." Buy a gold key win a great prize! Here's your HS (that you can get free and commonly in wooden boxes, drops and quizes) thanks for playing got to go wash my ferrari now!"

For those that dont anything about gambling a pay out rate is how much of the revenue is paid out in prizes. thus 100%- payout rate = profit margin. If aeria is making more than 10% profit they are ripping people off and need to spend some time in Vegas. If the pay out rate is above 95% , they are being decently to pretty generous.

On 1000 AP spent on the wheel the wheel should pay back on average 900 AP or better.

Asking Aeria to make the payouts greater than 99% of the revenue on the wheel is like asking a business to give you goods for cost or below cost( and actually it probably cost them about 1-2% of the revenue stream to operate the wheel.)  

Seriously, people...gambling is bad. 9/10 times people lose more than they put in ~ its a business of making money, the 1/10 person who actually wins more than they put in is rare and games of chance like mystery boxes, spinning wheels and slot machines for instance are going to give almost everyone a bad deal.

How much I like Aeria Games, I cannot really condone the overuse of gambling type systems for rare items/AP etc, especially with little chance of the 'average joe' of winning anything. If anyone from Aeria development is actually reading these posts, I strongly advise looking into other methods to make money, gambling might make money short-term but long time...it'll bite you in the rear end after too many people get burned.

What people want is some form of ability to make free, yes FREE AP. Even if its a small amount like 5/10 or more once per day, the so called free offers are mostly scams and/or don't work very well. The free loot box is one step in the right direction, toss the players some bones occasionally and they'll more like concede some $$ right back at some point. Burn players and you'll get $$ up front, but down the line you'll get nothing but a bad reputation, sorry if this stings a little but its the honest truth.
