| ==Features and Overview==
| |
| The {{Term|TMC|Chest Mini-Game Shop}} is run by {{Term|TMC|Borlov|link}} in {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town|link}}. At first, the shop is closed,<ref>{{Cite|I really wanna play a game, but this place isn’t open yet. I guess I just got here too early...|Anton|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Man! I REALLY want to get in there and play a few {{Color|TMC Blue|games}}... I can’t believe they’re still closed! I’m not going anywhere until they open!|Anton|TMC}}</ref> only opening after {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} defeats {{Term|TMC|Mazaal|link}} and obtains the {{Term|TMC|Ocarina of Wind|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Ahh... He’s finally opened up! I can’t wait to get crackin’!|Anton|TMC}}</ref> Borlov will let {{Term|TMC|Link}} pay 10 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee|link}} to play the {{Term|TMC|Mini-Game|link}} itself,<ref>{{Cite|It's 10 Rupees for one try, if you still want to throw your money away on such a terrible pastime... I would really just save it if I were you...|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> though he attempts to dissuade {{Term|TMC|Link}} from playing at all.<ref>{{Cite|I'm telling you, this gambling nonsense is no good. You're better off without!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| The {{Term|TMC|Mini-Game}} itself is simple; there are two {{Plural|TMC|Treasure Chest|link}} in the back room, and {{Term|TMC|Link}} must pick one to open. One {{Term|TMC|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} will double the amount of {{Term|TMC|Link}}'s current bet, while the other will cause him to lose his initial bet and any more {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} he may have won. Opening the incorrect {{Term|TMC|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} will end the game, but if {{Term|TMC|Link}} opens the correct one, {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will give him the opportunity to continue betting with his new amount, doubling it with each success. If {{Term|TMC|Link}} reaches a bet of 640 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} and wins (a total of seven successes in a row), {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will give him the maximum amount of 999 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} and plead with him to leave.<ref>{{Cite|Ahh, I just can't take this! Please, just stop now while you can! Your prize is 999 Rupees. Just take it, and never gamble again!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| After {{Term|TMC|Link}} {{Term|TMC|Kinstone Fusion|link|display=Fuses}} {{Plural|TMC|Kinstone Piece|link}} with {{Term|TMC|Spekter|link}} in the {{Term|TMC|Royal Valley|link}}, {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will be inspired to create a separate difficulty of the {{Term|TMC|Mini-Game}}.<ref>{{Cite|Hey! I've just hit on a great idea! This will add a little more risk! Heh heh heh! I'm so excited! I can't wait to get started!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> When {{Term|TMC|Link}} next enters the {{Term|TMC|Chest Mini-Game Shop}} and speaks to him, he will let {{Term|TMC|Link}} choose between "Level 1: Easy" and "Level 2: Hard".<ref>{{Cite|Level 1 is more than enough to take your money, but if you're feeling particularly self-destructive, we've even got level 2 now, rue the day... Which level would you like to try?|Borlov|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Level 1: Easy Level 2: Hard|N/A|TMC}}</ref> Level 2 has identical mechanics to Level 1, the only difference being the number of {{Plural|TMC|Treasure Chest}} (increased from two to three) and the factor placed on a winning bet (a success in Level 2 triples the bet, as opposed to a success in Level 1, which doubles the bet). {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will give {{Term|TMC|Link}} 999 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} if he reaches a bet of 810 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} and wins (a total of five successes in a row).
| |
| | |
| The probability of acquiring 999 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} from Level 1 is <math>\frac{1}{2}^7</math>, or approximately 0.7813%.
| |
| | |
| The probability of acquiring 999 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} from Level 2 is <math>\frac{1}{3}^5</math>, or approximately 0.4115%.
