Plarium will loose sapps on this precious roulette. 

Please remove word STRATEGY from any of your announcements. Change it with GAMBLING.

And play 'House of Rising Sun'.

One of the most importand conditions of Gambling is an ability to win real money (or some other values). As you can't convert in-game currency into the real money, Prize Draws cannot be classified as gambling. 

No they don't.....  If I can only afford to buy one in the Express, that's a 1:100.  Whereas someone who buys 10... that's a 1:10.  Who do the odds favor now, Professor?

Also, you do not invest real money in Draws. You invest tickets you buy for Sapphires that can be obtained via different in-game activities.

the most important condition of Gambling is spending real money.  play the game.  really play it.  do not say that sapphires are easy to gain through gameplay.  at least 95% of sapphires are purchased with real life cash.  this is gambling.  japanese ball bearings is gambling.  jumy shows an 17% vig for the house.  and that is what plarium is, the house.  we know that you offer nothing real.  but you take real life cash.

please show a little intelligence and integrity and call this what it is.  gambling sapphires away.  this equals gambling real life cash away.

please do not insert pre-programmed company response.  please show that you are a real person.  if you do not, then there is absolutely no trust in anything you will ever say.

First you nerf the resources bots produce to give everyone less resources. Then you make everything a cost in money to play game. Game is not enjoyable, just a money grab from the mouth foaming plarium.

Please give us the option to demolish our Keep and replace it with a Casino

Destroy the Eagle's Nest and build a giant Slot Machine

Blow up the Catacombs and replace it with a Roulette Wheel

and rename the game Stormfall Slots

.... just like Zynga did with Mafia Wars

for a target of 300k each, make your count now

gain back 130k-110k-130k-110k-30k (mop sapphires), like statistics? you can simple see but all we can see also

back too many sapphires to Plarium, greed greed Plarium as always same (feedback)

the "prize" is paid by non-winning players and you gain also like moneylenders (around 30-35%)

There's no condition to use in-app purchases to participate in Draws. You're not forced to participate in all of them, right? You can get Sapphires from Tournaments (for example), and then participate in a Draw.

this is the answer i expected from you.  doing the exact opposite of what i pleaded.  it takes 2 things to gain understanding:

1.  the intelligence to understand

2.  the integrity to acknowledge the understanding.

@Alyona:

You know very well what gambling is. I have nothing against gambling. Everyone has right to risk whatever it wants.

In every casino only HOUSE is winner, and soon or later many of us will understand what are we became in this game. I have feeling that my ears are pretty bigger than before 2+ years. But that is my problem not your.

Your problem is much bigger. Every day you have to find way to explain us how black is white and vice versa. And I saw many posts where you earned your salary in full.

But not today, and not in this post.

I know that you understood my question from start, but you are Alyona and you tried to lead this conversation in direction where you thought that you have chance too explain Santa Clause existing. For now, you're failed. But that is your and your salary problem, not mine.

My problem where you can help me is described in first post, but to avoid further misunderstandings I will compose question:

as long as sapphires got a cash value, even the prizes might not have as can't be traded "legaly" back into cash, Its still gambling.

constructive feedback: this screams potential fraud and illegal activities. makes me very suspicious as a player.  im also worried that i am now in violation of federal and state law where i live by playing this game.

I  think it's a good idea BUT... it's not often one can afford to 'gamble' away 100 sapphires on such odds.

I would like to see 10 sapphire-100 win bets for us poor folk or even  1- 10 win sapphire bets.

Better yet how about being able to bet resources or extra hero equipment?

i can only see 1 page in winner, but ehy is amazing

randomness by Plarium

there are more chances that you drops a meteorite in the head

We have checked all similar situations. Nothing was wrong. Players actively participated in Draws and in many cases they invested more than 1 ticket. Each ticket has equal chances of winning. However, each player can buy multiple tickets to have better chances.

I agree with you, it is so OK for Plarium, read well

edit and add this 

in the future may be lost
