Per feedback:

  • Increases the amount of contraband tickets per vendor from 1 to 5.
  • Lowers ticket prices all around.
  • Adds admin logging for large prize (>10,000 credits) winners.
  • Supermatter tickets now blow off the user's hand but have a guaranteed win using the same prize table as Phazon Fortune. These are NOT supermatter splinters and can be cashed in just fine. They also respect anti-supermatter-effect items such as the Golden Gloves and SASS Sphere.

Closes #32146.

How are you supposed to cash them in if they melt your hand? Having them gated behind golden gloves (which both need traders and a shard) seems like a bad idea. Do they melt your hand on scratching? That doesn't seem fun and will be a noob trap.

They melt one of your two hands on scratching. You can then pickup the card just fine as it is not a reskinned supermatter splinter. The card itself is not ashed. You turn the card into the vendor with your remaining hand then install a wooden hand to further your gambling addiction.

I don't see why collabs had a problem with the supermatter ticket functioning as a splinter, it's funny and overall not a big deal as long as the tickets can't be combined with a shard to make a crystal. What you're doing with them currently is lame to me.

Turning them into a splinter renders the ticket as a joke item/trap which people will only fall for once. The proposed solution I have in this PR gives you the best odds of any ticket at the highest prize table with the tradeoff being your limb is blown off. I think it's pretty funny and gives these tickets more purpose.

Can't wait for the spessmart greeters to see 20 one armed visitors piling out of the shuttle to race for the good stuff

I farmed tickets last round. Not really viable either way. I must've bought around 50 and most I ever earned on one was 500c. I even needed to get an arm transplant, then bought the golden gloves from the trader to farm 'em without arm switcheroo.
I got more money via the phazon tickets than the SM tickets, since on average I got around 30 per SM ticket (50c per ticket) while like 50 per Phazon Ticket (20c per ticket). I got 1000 two times and 5000 once on the phazon ticket.

Then you have bad luck. The supermatter ticket's prize table is 5x the Phazon one at the same probability levels with a guaranteed win.

You do get more money per ticket, but it's easier/safer to buy tons of regular phazon tickets since on average you get at least 10c profit and you don't have to shuffle the arms or get the anti-SM items.
To clarify, I did get 100c, 150c and 250c a lot, even those 500c wins 3 times. And I meant that I got on average less profit from the SM tickets than the phazon ones.
