Welcome to the Battle-Damaged Gumball Machine — our first entirely RNG driven sales event. No requests for specific items will be taken. Everything rests on a random number generated while packing your order.
Below you will find the table of available items in the Battle-Damaged Gumball Machine, each with a corresponding percentile chance. Most of the available inventory falls into the "scratch and dent" or "orphaned item" category — the inevitable odds and ends that build up in your warehouse when selling military surplus.
Let’s say you have your eye on a particular item and want to calculate your chance of getting it, at least once, across multiple Gumballs. The formula for this is:
1 - ( 1 - % Chance) ^ (# of Chances)
If item A has a 20% chance per Gumball, and you purchase three Gumballs, here's how it would shake out. Your chance at item A is equal to:
1 - (1 - 0.20)^3 = 0.488
In other words, your chance at item A is 48.8%
Note that in order to use this formula you need to express the percentage chance in decimal form. The 20% chance in the formula above is written as "0.20" not "20"
Happy hunting and may RNGesus bless you.

This is better than gambling because you get something worthwhile instead of blowing all your money on a slot machine.
No matter what weirdness you get it's worth it!
