Analyze You take a closer look at a bone-inlaid mahogany box. You analyze the mahogany box and sense that the creator has provided the following information: The Chance Box is a portable gambling game for silvers. To play, put the box on the floor to establish ownership and deposit silvers into the "House Bank," which can hold between 400 and 2 billion silvers. Others may then bet and spin the discs for a chance to win. While on the floor, the box will remain safe for about 15 minutes after gaming ends. Only the owner may pick it up, and doing so clears ownership. The House Bank must be empty first. READ the box for gameplay and payout information.

LOOK Any One A cobalt blue glow projects downward from the lacewood box as it hovers above the ground.

Cobalt blue runes connect three small round holes that form a triangle with a larger hole in the center. Each circular space houses a whalebone disc that can easily spin on a steel axle. One smooth edge of the box is painted sky blue and houses a coin slot. The three smaller discs appear blank, as does the larger disc in the center. There appears to be something written on it.

You sense that XXX bet 5,000 silvers, did not win anything, and the House Bank now contains 30,000. Additional Information Read In the Common language, it reads: THE CHANCE BOX This game is simple. Tap the discs on the other side to set them spinning for a chance to win silvers based on the symbols they reveal. Most symbols represent a specific town. The three smaller discs contain landmarks, mascots, and wildcards. The larger disc is a bonus and contains celebrities. Bad wildcards do nothing, while good ones match to other symbols. At least two symbols must match to win. A mixed match occurs when symbols do not match but represent the same town. Payouts are increased by matching to the nearest town. A House Bank must be established by the owner before play begins. Bets cannot exceed one fourth of its holdings, and the minimum bet is 100 silvers. Symbols involved in a winning outcome are highlighted. A "+" marker indicates a town match. --- PAYOUTS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | MATCH 2: MATCH 3: MATCH 4: | | Mixed 1:1 Mixed 2:1 Mixed 2.5:1 | | Mixed + Town 1.25:1 Mixed + Town 2.25:1 Mixed + Town 2.75:1 | | Matched 1.5:1 Matched 3:1 Matched 4:1 | | Matched + Town 1.75:1 Matched + Town 3.5:1 Matched + Town Bank | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saved posts
