[ENGLISH VERSION]
What is Fortune Spin?
Fortune Spin is a new option available on the Ronin Marketplace where blockchain users pay a fee of 15 ron to use the Ronin Machine or $10 on the Axie Machine to try their luck at getting an NFT prize that is better than the fee spent. It is worth remembering that these machines are designed for the platform to win most of the time, making the probability of winning smaller prizes higher.

The Ronin Machine is basically a simulation of a gacha machine, which has NFTs from various projects and games within the Ronin blockchain as rewards. To try your luck, you must pay the cost of 15 RON, which is currently worth $6.67, and also the VRF fee, which is the function that guarantees randomness and transparency.

Inside this machine, you will find 8 different rarities. With a 55% chance, it is the common rarity with NFTs between 2 and 9 RON, such as Axies and Primal HeroZ. The uncommons have 17% being NFTs between 9 and 15 Ron, note that adding the two together, it gives a 72% chance of reaching up to 15 RON, which is the price paid to try your luck, so analyze carefully before trying your luck. In the next levels, the values are above 15 RON. In the rare, you will find NFTs between 15-30 RON with a 20% chance, being higher than the uncommon, and in the Premium 4% with NFTs between 30-40, such as the Wild Forest Lords. Reaching the epic, you will find NFTs of Ronkeverese, Pixel Pets and Wild Forest Lords, between 60 to 120 RON with 3.6%.

Finally, we have the rarest collections of NFTs in the last 3 rarities, with very low chances. The legendary ones are NFTs between 120 to 240 RON, with a 0.25% chance of getting some Moku, for example. In the Mythic ones, with 0.1%, there are NFTs like the Fishing Frenzy Founder Pass, which are worth between 240 to 480 RON. Finally, the most rare is Celestial, which are NFTs between 850 and 1700 RON, such as Moki Genesis NFT and Pixels lands, with only 0.05%.
What is Ronin VRF?
When visiting the Fortune Spin website, right above the machines is written the phrase “Powered by Ronin VRF”, which leads us to the following question: “What is Ronin VRF?”. This question is answered in an article on the Ronin Chain blog, which states that Ronin VRF is a “fair and verifiable random number generator (RNG) that allows smart contracts to access random values without compromising security or usability.”. Thus, it is essential for Fortune Spin, as it guarantees the randomization issue in the smart contract that users interact with to win some of the prizes.
Some interesting details are that this service will not be limited to just Fortune Spin, and can be used by more dApps and games, to guarantee the security of randomness. Still, a negative point may be that transactions that use Ronin VRF require higher fees than “normal” transactions, since it is more complex. The important thing is that with Ronin VRF (Verifiable Random Function) transparency is guaranteed, since transactions are visible and verifiable on the blockchain. Will we see more projects within Ronin using this randomness function in the future?

It is interesting that in the recent spins section it is possible to see the NFTs that are being taken and a link to the transaction, which shows confidence in the transparency of the system and provides more security for players. You can check that although there are major rarities, most are minor rarities, because that is the way to keep Fortune Spin sustainable.
