if you stick your hand in the bag a hundred times, you could get a hundred black marbles. this game - over time - will pay back 83%. each time you stick your hand in the bag and choose a marble, you have to return the marble to the bag, so that there are always 100 marbles in the bag.
black marbles return your bet red marbles, you lose. hundreds of people could play without winning the 'big prize.' over time, about one in a hundred would win the 'big prize.' but a machine such as you describe, with a guaranteed payout for one out of every hundred players would be illegal.Ī better analogy would be that you have a bag of 100 marbles.
or nobody could win the 'big prize' for a very long time. More than one gambler could win the 'big prize' one after another. 1% will say the machines are in their favor.<<
