This game had 53 winners in Round 4, in a pot that 165 people contributed to. That's a 32.12% win rate (compared to an average of ~26% for normal Transformers). Winners got $58.37 each. Remember in this game that the stake per round is $25 (the other $25 going to the final pot). Clearly the very high win rate means that the return on stake is lower than in the normal Transformers, but in this round they continue to pull ahead. Let's compare. In a normal Transformer, the 4nd round average prize is 36.40$ right now, or 291% of the $12.50 stake. In this game, this prize is only 233% of the $25 stake. Looked at yet another way, the average Transformer winner makes about $24 over their stake in Round 4, and in this game winners made $33.37 over their stake.
People who have won each round have now made $176.38 (compared to a $100 stake so far). So far, they're ahead $76.38. The average Transformer is only at $66.24 over stake at this point. So, they're $10 ahead of the average Transformer and this holiday and January have been hard on all of the games so far.
The game lost 4 people this round (and a few more since they froze the pot) or 2.37% of players this round. This is lower than the average 3.4% loss in Round 4. And the total loss of 4.07% is far lower than the normal average of 9.74%. So again, the people playing are really committed, and I suspect, self-selected based on past history of success. And maybe at this point, they've spent $200 on it, so they'll do what they can to stick it out and win it back at the end.
