Fair enough. Forget the whole high or low thingy. One gambling game turns out to be superior; Keno. Getting eight out of eight numbers is enough to earn ten million dollars, the bet needs to be at least 556 dollars.
The RNG is kinda problematic in this game. Delaying the input affects the RNG and the input itself (poorly though) affects the RNG. However I figured out 2 pretty interesting things:
  • It is possible to affect the RNG while the game announces the winning numbers
  • Holding directional buttons extends the RNG output sequence, although it's still kinda limited
Keno, a gambling game that is pretty much impossible to win under normal circumstances, seems to offer the fastest solution needed to beat the game.
