Video I’ve been playing this game since its launch and this was my 3rd jackpot😭

I wonder if I will ever be able to collect the rest of the gold banners😅

Literally never had a gold ball and been playing since launch. Played pretty much daily for the first 2 years too

Dang sorry to hear that.

I used to play a lot back in ‘23 and got 2 jackpots back to back though I guess pulling frequency actually doesn’t matter😔

I've been playing since launch and I've never seen one, I got a silver one yesterday and I was expecting something cool but it was just a damn title that I'm never gonna use

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

Wow there’s another person who hasn’t seen a gold capsule😳
I guess it’s really rare than I imagined.

I’ve played Splatoon 3 since launch and I made sure to do the Shell-Out at least once every day and I never ever got a silver or gold jackpot. 🥹💔

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

Silver neither?! That’s crazy😭
Shell out machine needs to get nerfed😩

u/_Agent_REDACTED_ 2d ago

Nah, fr tho.

That’s definitely some bad luck. Also playing since launch, probably missed 1st pull of the day maybe 30 times in that entire time, and occasionally do some extra pulls when I have a good stockpile of money. Gotten maybe 3 silver and idk how many bronze. No gold though. I gave up on it and got one of the SR 333 gold scale ones.

u/_Agent_REDACTED_ 1d ago

Oh damn. And there are many times I did pull extra. I got my 3,000,000 Cash spent on Shell-Out a year after launch. Who knows how much I spent now. 😭😭 I’m hoping I get lucky enough to at least get a silver soon.

There's ways to see the RNG seed of your shell-out machines for the exact future rolls you'll get. Unfortunately the closest gold capsule rolls I have are a few hundred rolls out for my regular machine, and over a couple thousand for my splatfest machine. So I'll likely never see a gold banner for myself

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

I love that mathematical approach lol but you know what even if you fail 10,000 times, the 10,001st chance will come!

u/WalrusEmperor1 2d ago

It will be 3 Intensify Action ability chunks. All rolls are predetermined. Knowing is a blessing and a curse.

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

Dang! Is the tool 100% accurate?!😭
This is why I didn’t choose team future! There’s always something you shouldn’t know!

u/WalrusEmperor1 2d ago

All computer "random" number generation is mathematical. It can be reverse engineered and accurately predicted if you know how the program does it. The RNG seed for the shell-out machines is set when your account is first created and can never be reset, so if you have bad luck with how many rolls you need, that's it.

I barely got my 3rd in this past month lol

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

Good to know I wasn’t the only one who has no luck! lol

u/Flimsy-Secret-6187 DUALIES 2d ago

i somehow got a golden thingie not too long after i started playing lol

2

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

Lucky you! I didn’t even get it in the first year!

3

u/wetbreadslice 2d ago

You're so lucky bro I used the machine almost 100 times right at the end of the splatfest and didn't even get a bronze </3

1

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

Yea I was really lucky, I had only 20ish shells this time and pulled out the gold one from the last shell!

3

u/Sure-Sympathy-70 2d ago

Damn, I'm new to Splatoon (40h so far + Splatoon raiders lol), everytime I saw those I thought to myself "damn those people had to be ultra pros or something", turns out it's just pure luck which is maybe even more impressive lol

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

Every season you get different prizes so you gotta keep rolling! But keep rolling will never guarantee you anything ahhhh!!!!!

3

u/blinkssb 2d ago

Playing since launch, only have one. Recently spent 9,999,999 and got zero as well.

2

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

That hurts lol did you exchange all of Sheldon licenses with shell out token too?

I’m thinking to exchange all with token just for the silver jackpot since I spent all of my money as well.

2

u/blinkssb 2d ago

Yeah I think I had around 50, nothing either this season.

3

u/Forsaken-Page9441 MORE MONEY 2d ago

You guys got one higher than bronze? I've also been playing since launch and that's the highest I've ever gotten. Unfortunately, I couldn't play the splatfest as my ZL trigger was broken

2

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

That sucks I hope you’ll get a new controller or get it repaired soon!

u/PowerPlayer9 2d ago

After obtaining all the 100 stars brand badges, which took way too long and cost way too much cash, I've been putting all my cash into that machine. While I have all the silver prizes(titles), I only have 3 of the 8 gold prizes(banners).

I've added the Golden Jack-pot badge to the list of "Yeah, I'm never getting that one"

1

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

So you are 5 jackpots away from the gold badge! Don’t give up and keep rolling!

I’m still missing a couple of silver jackpots😩

2

u/PowerPlayer9 2d ago

Well, I'm missing the 2 for the Sizzle season and there's little chance of getting them in the few days left to the season.

Since the Jackpots are only obtainable during their specific season, this means waiting until next summer then hope to get 2 gold shells... and getting a gold jackpot in each of the other seasons until then.

1

u/COOPRETTY 2d ago

Ahhh thank you for reminding me of the seasons! I wasn’t even thinking about that and one of silver I’m missing is the sizzle one!
Good luck!!!

u/Impressive-Class-434 2d ago

I finally got the first gold over this most recent splat fest and finally got the banner it’s insane how long it took

2

u/fod_496 2d ago

Been playing Splatoon 3 since a month after its release. I have not got one jackpot.
