Talk:Voltorb Flip

I'm sorry, what? No gambling elements? What about the fact that if you quit, you get to keep the coins, and if you flip another card there's a chance you'll lose said coins?

Question

Does the card flip COMPLETELY replace the Slot Machines in all non-Japanese versions? Or do they exist alongside the slot machines? I hadn't seen anything which explicitly says one way or the other. Chicobo329 04:30, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Advancing/dropping levels

Completing a level is not the only way to advance. Sometimes, quitting a level several times in a row will also cause an advance, often jumping several levels higher. At the same time, quitting several times in a row may also cause a drop in level, but often not as severe as a drop via Voltorb.

I haven't figured out the exact mechanics to this. I suspect it has something to do with the total amount of coins you're earning per level, but in no way am I sure. Should this information be added as is or should I wait for someone with more information to add it, so that it sounds better once it's in? Dragoness 10:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Level 8

The page said level 7 was the max level, but I managed level 8 by beating level 7 three times consecutively. Does anyone know what the real max level is? - unsigned comment from Daigu (talk • contribs)

Not anymore, it seems... CuboneKing 03:16, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I've also heard there was a level 8. I'll be damned if I can get there. —darklordtrom 03:44, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

My game just skipped from level 6 to level 8. I got about 400 something coins on level 6 and then 3,456 coins on level 8. (I know it's counting up from three... weird!) I beat level 8 once and didn't advance. The second time I received 2,187 coins and still did not advance. I hit a Voltorb on the first try on my third game and dropped to level 1. :( ~~Star★you 17:01, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I can back this up too since I beat Level 8 through sheer dumb luck after advancing from level 6 and not only did I see the level 8 at the top of my screen when I looked after seeing the over 2,000+ coins I won on that game, then when I pressed the button expecting to go to Level 9, it didn't raise any levels. This careful observation that I monitored can help prove that level 8 is the maximum level for the Voltorb Flip. In fact when I saw the level as my money was that high I remember saying "what" in total surprise. -Tyler53841 17:26, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

So if we're skipping from 6 to 8, then does 7 even exist? —darklordtrom 04:52, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, Level 7 is possible since I got there in another game in Level 6 previously, but I also recall that I skipped to Level 8 another time before though I lost in that time. It makes me think that there is a hidden mechanic that allows the player to skip a level. Funny thing is I didn't know I was playing Level 8 on that day until the huge amount of money caused me to see the level I was at. If I hadn't seen it clearly not raise a Level while at Level 8, then my witnessing it being the highest level would not have been as accurate. -Tyler53841 04:58, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Advancing from Lv.7 to Lv.8

"The only way to advance to higher levels is to win the round; level 8 is achieved by winning level 7 a random number of times." This is somewhat true. In order to advance from Level 7 to Level 8 without quitting is to earn a payout less than 1,000 coins. If you clear the board and gain more than 1,000 coins, you will stay at Level 7. I am not 100% sure how to advance levels by quitting. At Level 8, it is impossible (or extremely unlikely) to earn a payout of less than 1,000 coins, therefore it is the max level.

What? If you multiply, unless parenthesis are present, you get the same answer no matter what order they are in. Take 2 times 3 times 2 times 2. You'll always get 24, even if you do it in that order or 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 3 times 2 times 2 times 2. Turtwig's A-B-Cs (talk | contribs) 21:17, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

But the amount of x2 and x3 are random, though the sum of them in a level are always the same. So 3x3x3x3x2 is not the same as 2x2x2x2x2, is it?--Lucastcorrea 23:27, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Finding a "dead" row

also, to find a dead row, just look at the amount of voltorb and the sum of cards. if the voltorb + sum of cards is equal to five, that row is dead. if there are six, then there will be at least one two, but no three. if it is 7+, then it will contain anything from voltorb to 3's.

The Voltorb Flip ranges on Bulbapedia are incorrect

I recently found that on Level 1 I got 81 coins. 81. So that seems to prove Bulbapedia wrong. And also I can back this up with the fact I got 273 coins on LEVEL 5. So what is the real limit? I don't know.
