Question

What do I do about Big Spin Jim?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

The computer's choices don't affect your own luck. Stick with your own strategy. If Jim is gaining a lot of points, try playing riskier or replicating his playstyle.

Question

How do you run the wheel in push your luck?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

Running the wheel refers to when someone gets every single option correct, giving them a total of 91 points in one round. This usually results in victory.

Question

There seems to be a pattern of which bots do well and which do bad. Is this true?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

I've noticed that as well. The bot names do indicate their playstyle - Big Spin Jim tends to play riskier, and Cautious Kristen plays safer. If we see 3 of the riskier players (Jim, Olga, Alex) in our game and each of them plays a strategy that wins 1/3 of the time, then one of them will win each time. So if you replicate their strategy, you will only win 1/3 of the time, whereas they will usually win. It appears this way because there are more bots playing each strategy than there are you.

The ranks are Bronze at 0-300 points, Silver at 400 points, Gold at 600 points, Platinum at 800 points, and Diamond at 1000 points. There is no higher rank than Diamond.
