It says on the main post "Exclusive Prizes: Only from The Lucky Pot can you win 3-Visible (2-Visible Restricted Themed)" and underneath you can see last years themes available to win. All three are nonrestricted, so that's why I was asking Krin for clarification. Both the lup and puff I won from the Lucky Pot are nonrestricted, so I wanted to make sure if getting a 2vis was a possibility or if something maybe went wrong.

Especially as I see this restricted luff here with 3vis. Which I don't believe should be possible.

Yeah, clarification in that case would be nice, though I am just saying that on the prizes page for the lucky pot, it does say two vis pets (doesn't say anything about restricted status or whatever) are available, right next to the 3 vis statement.

Reading the part you quoted, I think it means that you *can* win them, not that they are the *only* ones to be won from the lucky pot (ie you can win two vis, 1 vis if restricted, pets instead).

But I would be wondering about that luff. I wonder if it could be a prize for something, though I don't remember any games that are ended that prizes have been handed out.

The reason for the two separate options for visible prize is because last year you could win either. Since there were no restricted pets to be won. I kinda think that Krin forgot to update the code since that luff is a thing. I totally don't mind having the code updated to 3vis(2vis restricted) and 2vis(1vis restricted) being a possibility. I just want to make sure everything is correct.

The 'can' win most likely means that you can win a pet as a prize, not that you 'can' win a 3vis. But again, I just want to make sure since I misread things a lot.

Ah, okay, I wasn't here last year for the fortune event, so I didn't know that it was from there when there weren't restricted trait pets available.

That makes sense, and it would be good just to make sure that everything is working as intended.. Sometimes the craziest things can happen with just one little forgotten statement...

I started playing Lucky Draw yesterday. I thought it was great and it was something I could do while letting my mind wander. That said now that the ads have been added in the Lucky Draw page has become jumpy and my computer forcefully refreshes the page. I have always loved how the ads are placed subtly within this game, but having a huge area that is put right in between the game area and the prize section kinda ruins it. I think it would be easier to at least have the ad at the top of the page or at the bottom, not right in between the two sections of the game. And I don't know if I'm the only one having issues with my computer forcefully refreshing the page but I do know it is because of the ad. I don't know if anything can be done to help that however if nothing can be done I will no longer be able to take part in Lucky Draw as I can't deal with my web page reloading every three or so turns.


Google doesn't offer a way to load ads asynchronously; only with page loads. I typically design almost every feature now to be able to operate asynchronously, meaning you load the page once and can fully utilize the page without having to do subsequent page loads. This is obviously done purely for user friendliness.

Unfortunately, in regards to ads, this means that if you go to play Lucky Draw and do 10,000 hands, you will only ever be served one ad. This makes ad revenue virtually non existent and accumulate to almost nothing.

Since I am wanting to test just how much revenue can actually be earned via such a feature, such as Lucky Draw where hundreds of thousands are hands are played, it is coded so that every 10 hands played the page reloads so that there is a new impression/ad load. So if you played 10,000 hands, it would now be 1,000 ad impressions instead of 1; a 1000x increase in revenue.

Since mobile devices vary greatly and I was unable to make the auto page reload work very well on mobile devices, the auto page reload should not occur on any mobile operating systems.

On PC, the page reload should reload the page to the same position and it should reload without any real interruption to operation. If you are having issues with it, I would suggest making sure that your browser is fully up to date or just simply using an ad blocker for that page.

As long as the're not gross, porny, or in the way of the site content, I don't mind. :)


Google Ads will just serve the ads that it thinks best serve each individual. You can visit our Privacy Policy page for more information regarding that. I do have our campaign set to be PG-13 or lower and various controversial subjects banned.

If you do get served an inappropriate ad, there should be a way to report it somewhere on the ad - like in the top right corner or something I think.

Hey Krin, I'm a bit confused. I just won a Sakura Lupora from the Lucky Pot, but it told be that it was 2vis. It says on the main post that it would be 3vis, unless I somehow misread. This also worries me since I won a Puffadore last time I played and really hope it has the right amount of vis. I didn't really pay attention then since I wasn't really wanting a puff, lol.

Edit: These are the two pets I won from the Lucky Pot. Puff and Lup


They can either be 3-Vis or 2-Vis:

I don't mind ads at all, but I do wonder if the placement could be a bit different. At least for the mobile version, the ad is in between the game and prize section and so close to the buttons that I've already accidentally hit the ad while trying to play the game. If it's not something you will do for whatever reason, it's not a big deal (just a little annoying so I thought I'd ask). Thanks!


There should be plenty of space between the game controls and the ad. Maybe try using horizontal view on your device or zooming in closer to the game? On my phone, I literally cannot even see the ad banner when I am playing the game.

Its the updated version of chrome that I'm using. However the reload causes chrome to glitch for me and has a couple of times taken forever to load back in. I only brought it up because the Lucky Draw was working perfectly and it wasn't until the ads and leader board were added in that my game stopped wanting to work when I played it. I don't want to have my game refresh every 2 or 3 rounds. If thats the case then I'm not going to continue participating in the Lucky Draw because it makes everything annoying frustrating to do.


Can you provide more information on what you mean by glitching? What specifically is happening? If you can record a quick .gif of the issue that would be really helpful.
