Throwing Bones

Throwing Bones is a browser-based chance game which costs 10 BP per play. Unlike many Aywas games, Throwing Bones does not have a daily play cap. The amount of BP you can win from playing is negligible (less than the cost of each throw), unless you attain the Jackpot. The true prize from Throwing Bones comes in the form of random items (and the occasional Jackpot win). The monthly High Scores table is based on pot winnings, not jackpots.

Throws


 * + Bone - Adds 0-12 BP to the pot, depending on the current game level.
 * - Bone - Removes 1-12 BP from the pot, depending on the current game level.
 * ^ Bone - Increases the game level by one.
 * v Bone - Decreases the game level by one.
 * x Bone - Death! Resets the pot and level.
 * II Bone - You win a random item.
 * T Bone - Your active pet gains 100 Experience (Note this is still linked to Explore, thus of no current benefit.)



Odds, the Pot and Levels
You can cash out your pot of winnings at any time - however, this is not recommended, as the amount in there is never of significant value. The value of cashing your pot is only apparent if you rack up enough points this way to make it onto the High Scores Board. You acquire one point for every 1 BP you collect. Cashing out resets your game level back to one - the pot can never be negative, and the game level cannot go below Level 1. If you reach Level 5, you win a Jackpot of 25,000 BP, plus whatever is in the pot - your game is then reset back to Level 1. The + and - bones are most often rolled with equal frequency, Level ^/v and X are slightly less common. The Item Grant roll is rare, and Win Exp is rarest of all. Nonetheless, this can be a decent way of leveling up a very low pet - Exp gains are generally incidental to the items, so putting a level or two on a young pet makes a nice bonus.

Sometimes you'll get the "Nothing seems to have happened..." message, most commonly when a Level Down was rolled but the game Level is already at 1. The + BP roll can also generate this message, and no BP will be added.

Known Items Granted by Rolling Bones
Note that this list is not complete, only representational of typical items that can be won. Approximately 1 in 10 throws grants an item, those of lower rarity being the most commonly granted. Very rarely however, one might even collect a r100 item through this game.
