My Path to the EX card is this..I have a full collection and No Card to Buy / Win..I have all of the DOLZ quests so that is 660 pointsI buy one 2500 credits thats 1,500 points points $200I play 50 times the Thrill Spin to spend the 2500 credits and earn 815 pointsthis brings me to 2,995 pointsI buy 1000 credits and get 500 points $90I spend 1000 credit on the slot machine and get 165 pointsthis brings me to 3,660 pointsI connect 10 days in a row to the event I earn 160 pointsI subscribe to the News Letter I earn 10 pointsim now at 3,830 pointsI buy the 500 credits and get 200 points and that puts me over to 4,030 $50It cost me $340 and I still have all of the credits that I won while playing the Thrill Spins and Slot machine.As a full Collection Holder, it cost me a max of $340, and I used 3500 credits.I still have the 500 credits from the last reload, plus about 1500 credits that I won back playing the games.It is doable for a Full Collection Holder, But without having the DOLZ collection.it's next to Not Possible without Buying More Credits you can't possible use.
Similar results here, except that I only needed to reload once, probably due to the Dolz quests.
Investment:Money balance: -199 € (1 reload of 2500 credits)
Credits balance (after reloading and doing the quests): -2500 (approx.)
Time spent: 2 hours
Gains:EX cards: +1
SEC cards: +2
Joker cards: +8
Gift cards: +3
Using precisely that 2500 credits are worth 199 €, and considering that the value of the 3 gift cards is negligible inside the error margin, we could say that the total neat money investment has been around 400 € and 2 precious hours of my life.
So, plain and simple, we could say that this pack of 1xEX + 2xSEC + 8xJoker cards has been worth around 400 € and about 2 hours of time.
Also, here comes recommendation, or rather warning, on my end. I cannot confirm this as a fact because it's impossible to do so for certain, but rather a speculation on my end, although I think it's pretty well-grounded. If you opt out for completing all the slot machine quests, you'll probably end up obtaining a good amount of joker cards like I did (of course, at the cost of all the neat credit investment / negative balance). However, beware that at the moment in which you qualify to get all the quests from this game (at least 5000 credits betted), it's very likely that you will be in the situation in which you have collected 4 out of 5 "JOKER" letters, ("JOKE", a very appropriate term in this context, as shown below).
If you are in this situation right after qualifying to get all the points from this game, do NOT continue playing to try getting the last word for one more joker, this is a trap. Even after suspecting this from the beginning, curiosity ***** the cat and I decided to pay just to get the information and confirm these suspicions, and they were confirmed for good: no matter how many moves you keep doing, the last letter will never appear. I have to say that, unless this is an extremely unlikely bad streak and what I suspect is not correct, this is a morally reprehensible trap/bait on the company's end, so I feel with the duty to at least warn about this possibility and leave it to the criterion of whoever gets into this situation.
At least I hope that part of all the large amount of money that is probably made through this type of events is re-invested in the near future to improve the product for the customer's end: e.g., recording and offering more duo shows (needless to say, ideally as regular cards, like in the old good times).
