    You can bet 10,000 per slot?

    Also "naming and shaming" is against forum rules.

    Nope, not cheating, you can bet upto a million, and winning the same on 3 slots is common.

    Looking at the table, the symbols are aligned perfectly. Triangles to triangles, circles to circles, etc. It's vanishingly rare odds, but it does happen. Everyone who had bet would win big.

    GPL is useless, so my question is: Why does anyone play dabo?

    Now, I do it for the endeavors.

    In the past, I did it (along with selling lots of holiday ornaments to the vendor) to get the Clubwear outfit.
    (this was before the Ferengi admiralty came out. Now I'm swimming in GPL)

    I did it for the achievement ages ago. Now? Ditto just above, endeavours only.

    It'd be lovely to have something to spend my millions on though.

    It's still against the forum rules to include the identity of another player in a post like this.

    When other people post a screenshot they open it in a paint program (paint, paint 3D, gimp, ...) and cover up any other player names before posting. So you'd paint over the name of the winner wherever it appears.

    As others have said, naming and shaming is against forum rules. However I won't ding you for not knowing you could redact the names before posting the image. As pointed out you can open up the image in various programs and just draw a thick line over the name to hide it.

    I've won the same amount on all three slots before. I usually throw out 10k per slot during endeavors to up the chances of getting it in one spin, especially when it's the purple one.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    I thought with Dabo if you bet on all 3 slots only the highest winning slot is rewarded. I guess I haven't been paying attention

    Then don't post.

    Try worrying about your own game and less about policing others.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    Nope. Pay attention when winners are announced and you'll see if all three slots won something it will be posted, no matter how large or small it is. Yeah, sometimes one or two slots of mine won 0, but it's okay, Betting 10k or more almost guarantees that the one slot might make enough for the endeavor.

    Now if you were the highest winner it will post your highest slot, but in your game you'll also see what the other two slots won.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    There's the option to gamble with GPL so once you have a bank roll you're not losing any ec, not that the amount used per endeavour is ever that bad. It's not gamblebox odds at work.

    And you know the box odds are bad when you have a better chance of hitting a Dabo at Quark's!

    Holo-Leeta does tell us that the Dabo table is no longer rigged :)

    Which is undermined by the real Leeta rigging a game as part of the Ferengi plot during Quark's Lucky Seven. :P

    "no longer rigged!*"

    In accordance of the standards of Quark Enterprises(tm) lobbied by the Lobi Crystal Consortium. Dabo rigging is subjective and considered "surprise mechanics" and thus, by treaty, not subjected to Federation Gambling Laws.

    If you don't get a dabo right away she rigs one. Unless Cryptic changed that at some point?

    If I had to guess... the tables are no longer rigged by default, which makes the statement about the tables not being rigged anymore technically true. Doesn't mean there isn't a back door into the system. And don't forget that Leeta is a highly experienced Dabo Girl. She knows those tables inside and out. If anyone could run a rigged game, its her.

    Also the "Leeta" at most Dabo tables is a hologram with the likeness of the actual Bajoran so they could be programmed to say what ever.

    When you spin the wheel she says "Dabo!" (If you win anything)
    You say "Was that...?"
    She says "Close enough. I couldn't wait for you to get that lucky. We would have been here all night!"

    She actually doesn't rig the game, she just lies.
