to be honest the amount of time needed seems a little excessive.
how does the game keep track of each attempt? or is it pure random each time - in which case theres a chance you will never get it?
oof. Oh well now to use it i guess. Maybe tomorrow.
Its all random each time.
Previous attempts have zero impact on odds.
If you really want to see the chances then try Tunks Gambling Sim
Honestly imhoā¦ gambling is probably the worse way to get any of the rare drops in this game - Orians Eye, Smoke Weaver etcā¦ Just play the game and if they drop greatā¦ if not then just enjoy playing another build until they doā¦ Other than a few very specific builds, you do not need uniques to make end-game viable charactersā¦
If you just want to gamble, then Iād rather go to the casino or by a lottery ticketā¦

yeah I agree that gambling can be a terrible way to get gear, especially in cases like this one. But it is implemented as an offiical route to gear in game and as a beta tester I thought iād see how brutal it could be based on the posts Iāve been reading. It was very brutal.
This kind of extreme low odds gambling is at such a contrast from a gameplay experience with the rest of Last Epochās experience (besides the crafting and the constant fractures) that itās better to give feedback that the devs might notice and hopefully it improved in some ways than just ignore it. As one alternative - Iād rather have gameplay driven routes/tasks/etc that must be completed in order to get certain high value gear as opposed to this ridiculously low random drop rates.
Testingā¦ trueā¦ I did the same back in Aug 2020 when I started playingā¦ The gambler was different then and honestly just as boring/brutalā¦ They have made it harder now with increased pricing & changed odds so it has even less appeal.
Personally I donāt see the point of the gambler in its current formā¦ The game is so full of RNG as it is, that the gambler just seems superflous to me. Sure its a gold sink but there is little point in gold anyway (just for stash tabs and respecing passives) so who cares if someone has 10m in gold - especially in single player mode without trading.
Iād prefer gambling if it gave you temporary random boosts or something other than gearā¦ Iād gamble 1mill for a temporary 5% improvement in crafting chances, XP increases or improved global drop rates. The gambling could even be how long your boost lasts for rather than a random boost. e.g. I want a 10% XP boostā¦ gamble, whoahā¦ you win a 30second xp boost! congratualtionsā¦ 
(*no direct character stat boosts thoā¦)
I am of the opinion that gambling is a great way to get the gear you want and is a fantastic addition to arpgās.
These games are gear driven. Players are fueled by that rush when that drop finally happens. Why not from the gambler? We have all that gold. That gold represents hours of playtime.
Personally, I only need to improve my ammy. I do not enjoy running monoās for ONE item. I gambled all my gold away to get the right affixes. Didnāt happen, so Iām back to grinding.
Sureā¦ no problem with your opinionā¦ Its just not mine and its (thankfully) one of those things in arpgs that you are not ārequiredā to use to enjoy or progress in the gameā¦ Unlike yourself, I do not like the conversion of using looted gold to ābuyā the rush of a good dropā¦ Seems too much like an addiction to me ā¦ In contrast, I HAVE spent many runs in many different arpgs grinding for one item and while it can take some stoic determination, the joy when something you are looking for drops, cannot be, imho, compared to ābuyingā itā¦
Honestly the only thing i still use the gambler for is to roll for a base item to craft on. I.e. if I need a high crit multiplier katana with a decent affix or two, then I will gamble a few katanasā¦ - imho, for this singular purpose the gambler is great.

This is what I use it for 9/10 rolls.
I like that Uniques can be found from the gambler. Sometimes the grind can be well, a grind.
