Thanks mack. Took me about 10 seconds to get each answer. Hope you aren't still trying to work them out lol.
Yeah that was same as I got.For anyone who wants to compare answers, mine are below could be wrong tho ? LOL

I believe these are from his latest book. Yes, your first guess is correct there are no prizes
Just something to get the grey matter warmed up:

If anyone really wants a brain workout and think you're clever enough here's one......
20 Balls in a bag
3 Blue
4 Purple
5 Orange
8 Green
You keep picking without replacement until you have 3 the same colour.
What is the probability of getting......
3 Blue
3 Purple
3 Orange
3 Green
You going to need to be above average at math for this one as not an easy one this, still working on my answer to it.
Ah I misread the question, somehow I thought the goal was to end with 12 balls (being three of each colour) from the original 20, rather than one colour only [x3] and then provide a separate probability for each.I not done it yet, 2.5% chance of what? Blue?
Im still looking at the best / easiest way to attack it as its looking more complex than i thought LOL
Well @DreamRJ you are right that the odds change per pick and that's the main ball ache of this problem.
I still haven't done it fully however I'm fairly sure its somewhere nearer to
Blue 4% ( 1 in 20 )
Purple 10% ( 2 in 20 )
Orange 21% ( 4 in 20 )
Green 65% ( 13 in 20 )
The key point to look at I think is there is technically 27 different ways to end up with 3 blue ( ignoring the orders as such ) which consists of from 3 - 9 total balls picked and in theory only the last ball matters as far as order is concerned. eg if you end up with 8 picked with no win the 9th would result in a win of one of the colours, however how the first 8 in this instance are ordered don't matter? I wish I hadn't started this now as I think were gonna have to work out each one separately.
OK you have a slot called Bonanza:
Every 450 spins on average it will trigger a feature by dropping in 4+ gold scatters.
The average pay when it does is theoretically 100x bet.
What are the chances of:
Getting 0x bet? 4%
Less than 50x bet? 63%
Over 100x bet but less than 200x? 31%
Over 500x bet? 1.9%
Over 1000x bet? 0.1%
and finally:
Getting 14,400x bet with 32x 5OAK diamonds on an 18x multiplier? no fucking chance in hell that will ever be saw.

Macks questions were easy. Looked at yours and went forget it wouldn't even try to work it out.If anyone really wants a brain workout and think you're clever enough here's one......
