Just noticed this tweet in my Twitter feed and couldn't help but come here to write about it. 5,000,000x is insane.
What a lucky guy! He won 1 BTC with 20 sats?! I wish I will be as lucky as him one day
.
But you are right, even when playing this game 5000 times, you will not even get close to this kind of multiplier.
Not only 5000 times, even you have played for 1 million times, you still can't be sure you can hit that. If you thinking 5000 times already big enough, it would only cost you 0.001 BTC which still very low amount.
Let me post the exact number for you guys so we can really understand how insane is this hit! The winner was playing with 13 mines. To get all gems, he had to pick 12 correct tiles in the row without clicking any mine. There are total 2,490,952,020,480,000 possibilities of how user approaches to click the randomly set tiles. Among these many possibilities, there are only 479,001,600 possibilities in which user will be able to get 12 gems in a row. Putting in other words, this is 1 in 5,200,300 probability.
So you have to play 5.2M times to get this multiplier! Hitting such multiplier in first attempt has just 0.0000192296598% probability. You still have just 0.096148299% chance of hitting this multiplier in 5000 attempts. Getting this multiplier in 1M attempts still has just 19.229659% probability. Insane!
OMG! Is this a 5M multiplier? Wow! That's such a massive win!
The Lucky guy turned 20 satoshis into 1 BTC. Congrats man.
Is this high figure multiplier aslo available on other games like dice?
Nope. You can't hit 5,000,000x on dice. Maximum multiplier possible on dice is 9900x when you roll over 99.99 or below 0.01 which has 1/10000 chance of happening.
