Need something to do while browsing dreadfully dull sell orders? Try your luck at the Ship Spinning Inc. [SLOTS] slot machines! There's bound to be something to suit your taste, with prizes from Slicer or Cynabal, to Bhaalgorn or Freighter, to even the infamous monocle of obnoxious wealth (two people have won that so far, actually).

Find us at http://shipspinning.com for more details. To play, just donate the ISK you want to use in game to the Ship Spinning Inc. [SLOTS] corporation, and wait for the API to automatically pull it (can take up to 15-30 minutes).

To activate your account, you need to visit the site using the in-game browser, and grant it trust to verify your identity. After that, you can set a password you can use to log in using any browser (for your safety, please don't use your Eve password), or you can continue to just play in the in-game browser.

For more details, read this nifty FAQ we have. You can also check the list of winners, and contact them yourself to make sure I'm not just pulling your leg.

But wait, there's more! For a limited time, you can use the code SELLORDERSPIN to get an absolutely free 2,000,000 ISK to try things out with! Input it in the "My Character" page to use it. I don't know how long I will keep it available, so take advantage of it while it's around!

Good luck, and have fun!

Haven't even put any isk in yet and I've already won a stabber fleet issue, I think that gets an endorsement from me :D

Contracted! You still haven't beat the record of luckiness though. Some newbie (on his trial account even) wanted to play, but couldn't donate money because he was on a trial. So, I let him donate me a Rupture for 5 mil ISK credit. He went on to win a Stabber Fleet Issue, a Caracal Fleet Issue, and an Ashimmu. Ridiculous!

Make sure you let people know about this! I have exciting ideas in store if I get enough of an ISK buffer to be secure (think things like Jump Freighters?)

well since my last endorsement I've won 2 hulks, about 11 nocti, a cynabal, and a Federal Navy Comet. That's with only putting in 35 million so far. If I had any doubt I was baited with that SFI earlier I think it's gone now, though I'm sure Viddyi is feeling lucky I only took delivery on one of those hulks and the Comet, cashed the rest in for credit, at one point last night I had 450 million credit there, then I kept spinning hoping for a freighter :D

I saw! You had a pretty mean streak going! There was another guy who won 2x Hulk, 2x Dramiel, and 1x Phantasm once you were done, and he didn't cash in any of them. That smarted.

I hope you're having fun! Let your friends know about [SLOTS] too!

If you want free spinning credit to spin to win free ships, it should be noted that I have in the past (and will in the future) reward those who come to me with good ideas for the site, reports of bugs, marketing ideas, etc. If I end up using your idea, it's almost certain that you'll find some free credit in your [SLOTS] wallet with a "One good turn deserves another" note from me.

Just a thought for those bright minds out there!

Heya Folks,

i just spend some Time and of course some ISK too Roll with Ship Spinning Game. Its funny but depends on luck! Twisted

Me and one other Player from Eve, we were both in Ship Spinning Channel, are rolling "Gambling Industry". We both are rolling the same time. I've lost 40 Mil ISk ( spended 34 Mil I've won 6 Mil ) and he won 3 x Noctis and a Hulk. I thought: "Damn this cant be real"...but it was What?.

One day later i talked to him and he gets the ships, so i thrust Ship Spinning Inc.

But u should always have a look on ur Money its easy to spend plenty of Mil. in some Min, but of course u can win much more if u are lucky enough.

Just my 2 Cents

PS: If u dont believe me, ask someone else from the winners list.

To add to Jelrenja's point, I have seen both cases of spectacular winnings and spectacular losses. There were some who invested hundreds of millions of ISK and hardly got a few faction frigates out, while others invested less than 50 mil but got multiple faction cruisers. There was also one guy who I thought was wasting all his money, losing hundreds of mil, until he won a monocle after investing like 500-600 mil.

But hey, that's luck for ya! Come try yours today!

Luck is the key word. Atm i feel not rly lucky, because i only win spin ISK What?.

If i check winners log i could cry if u see smth like:
Holdem Joe State of Honor Caldari Navy Hookbill 2011-10-25 03:53:07 2011-10-25 07:18:50
Holdem Joe Lucky to Hold Together Republic Fleet Firetail 2011-10-25 03:53:04 2011-10-25 07:18:49

But maybe my first price is smth big ^^. I hope that this Game will be more popular. More player means more fun and/or exchange possibilities for Ships ;)

I took this Part from Suggestions Thread, to keep it alive here.

Here i got some improvements for ur Site.
Just some suggestions, but maybe u can give me some feedback about the reason to implement or not implement.Big smile


If u have a Station enabled u can see the prices, and when u move your Mouse over a price u can see a tooltip. Maybe its
possible to add the info about the wins within last 24hrs/week/month.

Like this:
1,500,000 ISK Credit
Ship Spinning Credit: 1,500,000 ISK
Wins last 24hrs/week/month: 3 times

Just as small info w/o searching through "Winners Section" to find out if it would ever spinned yet.Roll

Changing the colour of all Spinning Costs from white to yellow or smth else, for more overview instead of only white Text.

I would like to see a rearrange of the Stations and prices, from cheapest until the most expensive. Stations up to down
and prices left to right.

Is it possible to add a "Top Ten" List in the winners section from the players had won the most ISK ( Ships + ISK )

Like this:
1. Shingyoku 435,000,000 ISK
2. Jelrenja Scatterhood 22,500,000 ISK

Actualisation every Day? maybe week, don't know about the realisation possibilities.

I've noticed that we have some free space on the News Site. Maybe u can add on the left side of the News the Names from the Players who won a ship within last 24 hrs. If a Player won 2 or more different ships, should still showed up only one time.

My favourite idea was about the "Biggest Looser Surprise"Twisted. The player who have the most spins w/o a Price over a
week?/month? Get a special Code who grants some Spin ISK maybe 5,000,000 ISK. Just as small Bonus for his bad luck.
This Code lasts only 3 Days to activate.

To make it fair for all spinners the spins have to count like this

500,000 ISK Spin x1
1,000,000 ISk Spin x2
2,000,000 ISK Spin x4
2,500,000 ISK Spin x5

Example:

Player 1 spins 10 times for 500,000 ISK have 7 spins w/o price so he have 7 BLP (Biggest Looser Points)
Player 2 spins 2 times for 2,500,000 ISK both spin w/o price so he get 10 BLP

So the counter couldn't be manipulated with only spinning low budget Spins and everyone get the same chance.
But the counterpart is who can spend more money collect more BLP

You can make it only per lost spins as 2nd opinion. which from both is the best, you have to decide.

If u implement a BLP Scoreboard is up to u

U can post this into the Forum like this:

Another week of Ship Spinning have passed we had many winners, but also some people with bad luck. This week with a total of 173 BLP Shingyoku recieved the "Biggest Looser Bonus". We hope he have more luck in the next week.

...



Ok thats it for the Time. I hope there are some good ideas within and i`ll get some player feedback

Just my 2 Cents

Whooooa. That's a lot of stuff! Let me address it individually.

Ship prices, number won recently on mouseover. This is a pretty good idea, and not that hard for me to do, since most of the code to do it is already in place. I'll consider it!

Make station costs more visible. Certainly. I didn't think they were that bad, but if it's got you complaining it must be.

Station/price re-arranging. While this is technically pretty trivial to do, I'm not going to do it yet since I have a revamp of the whole station-choosing interface planned. They will be sorted into categories, which will themselves be sortable by price, and station name.

"Top Ten" winner list. I was already thinking of having a display at the top saying how much ISK in prizes has been won so far (similar to how Somer Blink does it). This proposal of yours follows pretty naturally.

Recent winners ticker next to the news. How about shifting the news panel off-center, and then fitting a portrait of the winner and an image of the prize they won? The portrait can also be clickable in game to get to their "Show Info" window for easy contact, and their name could show up on mouse over.

Bad Luck Points. An interesting idea, but I have to sit on it for now and think about how it would work and how I could balance it. See, many (but not all) of the people you see winning ship after ship donate very large amounts of ISK, so the reason they win a lot of ships is simply because they had a lot of tries. They can go for losing streaks, too, and the fact they are using a lot of spins means that I'd be basically giving them more prizes while not doing much for those more casual players (like yourself).

... Why does this sound like a 99% vs 1% argument? OCCUPY SHIP SPINNING.

Edit: You may want to keep this in the other thread, since that's more "ship spinning discussion". This place is for the contest.


Sorry for that i reply in the wrong thread, noticed it after posting that i was in the wrong Tab Oops

Thx for ur answer and the explanatory notes in it.

The Recent Winner Ticker is a nice feature thought about that, too.
About the "Bad Luck Points" i didn't think that ppl go for loosing streak if the reward is only 5,000,000 ISK it's not worth the spend ISK to be on 1th Place, of the LLL ( Lucky Looser List).

Overall nice Feedback, would like to see more ppl in Ship Spinning in Game Channel for discussions

Thanks for your comments! I'm glad to see people are enjoying Ship Spinning Inc.!

Lureei, your most recent Noctis is a bit slow in being delivered since I was not able to get online yesterday evening to do so. I will deliver it in at most 12-ish hours today though. Thanks for your patience! Edit: It has been delivered!

You know, CCP are not the only one improving and developing their product. We here at Ship Spinning Inc. [SLOTS] are also fans of iterative development and improvements. Here are some things to look forward to, coming Soon™:


  • Recent winners ticker - the news section on the front page is going to sidle over a bit, and make room for a new column that will display the most recent lucky people to win ships. (currently in development)
  • Better mouseover options - more info provided on mouseover and in general on the detail page of each reel.
  • Better organization of stations - Sorting by price, faction, etc. This is also a precursor to adding a lot more stations (including ones offering things like blueprints for shiny stuff like capital ships, maybe!)
  • Cumulative win statistics - Top winners, most won prize/ship, total ISK cost of prizes given out, and other neat things.


There will also be server side improvements for better smooth running of [SLOTS]:


  • Feeds for wins - until now I have needed to maniacally check the wins page for any new winners. Why not let Google Reader do it for me?
  • Market-wide price tracking - keeping track of the market price of all the prizes I give out -- vital for some of the stuff I detailed above, and will also make the payout process smoother
  • Automated market crash alert - when Dramiels get nerfed and their price drops, it's not fair that the Angel station's average ISK payout drops below the other factions. I try my best to watch the market and keep station balance, but it would be more awesome of I received warnings of that happening?


Some of these feature ideas are courtesy of Jelrenja Scatterhood, who will receive copious piles of free [SLOTS] credit for suggesting them.

Have a feature you want to see in Ship Spinning Inc.? A bug you noticed? A hare-brained idea? Throw it at me!
