I came to get a few items but wanted to try the Gacha machine first. I paid the 50L but nothing at all happened? Decided to hold off buying the items I came for in case it takes my money but does not provide the goods. The same way gumball machines work. You put money in and no matter how many times you pull that handle, you never get the one you want. One armed bandits. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get an item in each box, and you can sell or trade them for what you want. Some cases they are. I have seen a few in my in world travels that had a sign indicating what could be in them and an added sentence there's a chance you could get zilch. 2 hours ago, Selene Gregoire said: The same way gumball machines work.

LL should ban them from inworld for gambling. Because that is what they are. Just look at how flooded the MP is with the stuff.

From now on I shall only use them if every item they contain would be suitable for my collection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a high-volume Second Life shopper oh, and I have never seen a gacha machine say that you would not receive one item. You should probably make a screencap of that, and report it.
