		<description>Your great article touched on the ? and whether to take the chance.  I&#039;ve done some informal study based on my play and determined that the each ? has a net value of about +180 tokens.  This value is based on the probability I found of getting each possible item weighted on their value to the player.  I&#039;ve included a more detailed analysis of how I came to that figure below.  In addition to looking at the ?, I also looked at how many tokens I earned on average in each game, and here are my averages for each round:
Round 1: 187 tokens/spin
Round 2: 345 tokens/spin
Round 3: 313 tokens/spin
This means that if you only get 1 ?, you are going to get on average 180 tokens, but if you do not play the ?, you would earn on average between 187-345 tokens in that spin.  This means that playing 1 ? is discouraged in most situations (exceptions do exist such as a person facing 1 ? and 4 blue fish in round 2 may be better off taking the ? if the blue fish won&#039;t help the player much).  On the other hand, a player should take the chance on the ? if there are 2 or more in the spin (again there are exceptions such as 2 ? and 3 chests the player would want the +600 from the chests).

Now for the advanced look at how I got a value of 180 tokens per ?.  A ? has 4 possible options, and there are the probabilities I found for each (based on 1 ?):
+200= 40%
-200= 20%
Trivia= 27%
Team +50= 13%

While the +200 and -200 are easy to assign a token value to, the others can be tricky.  For the trivia, I used the percentage of questions I got right (56.25%) multiplied by +200 to set that value at +112.5.  For the team bonus, each time I got it I looked at how many people were in the room at that time and multiplied that number by +50.  This gave me a final value of 800 tokens per ? (or an average of 16 people in the room).  Once weighing each outcome with its probability, I came up with 179.18 tokens per ?.  The biggest two factors that will change that number for each individual player are the number of people in the room (the fewer people, the less the ? is worth) and how many trivia questions you get correct (my study did not take advantage of the trivia questions/answers on this site, so those that do use it will have a higher ? value).  A final note is that this study was done over the course of 34 games, or 918 spins in late Spring/Early Summer 2008.</description>

		<description>This is regarding previous page tips and hints for playing Big Fish Slots. It says for the 3rd round, Fishinko, to be on top of the launcher so you can get all pearls launched each spin. That would be great if only the pearls would go &quot;into&quot; the launcher. I&#039;ve only been able to use launcher maybe 2-3 out of the 5 in a lot of games because the pearls won&#039;t load. I&#039;m clicking, waiting, and getting furious that I&#039;m losing out because the game isn&#039;t working correctly!! Very frustrating to say the least!!! Especially when I was in the #1 spot!! That game has &quot;a lot&quot; of issues that need to be tended to, and it&#039;s not just me believe me!! Thank you.</description>
