Gambler’s Fallacy
A simple mod that adds an item into the secret room pool that drops 3 lucky pennies, and then gives a 3+luck% chance, maxing out at 50% at 47 luck, to replace any future coin drop with a lucky penny. Update: chance has been rebalanced to 3+(luck/2)%, maxing at 20% at 34 luck.
This reroll can happen to any coin drop, including nickels, dimes and sticky nickels. This can also happen to any newly created coin from any source, so using a jera, diplopia or crooked penny has a chance to create a luck penny from any normal coin.
I would also like to note that I intended for this item to be a second possible reward from slot machines, rather than a secret room item, but I couldn’t figure out a way that wasn’t super hacky to do this.
I’m putting this note here just in case – however unlikely it may be – Ed or Tyler see this and want to add it to the game.
Update: I have updated the mod to include loading from JSON and a costume for the item. I may update the page with the associated gif/gifs at some point if I feel like it. I also changed the lucky penny chance cap at AgentCucco’s request, and added a chance to drop a coin when using any of the dice items. This chance is 10+(luck*5)%, which means the chance caps at 18 luck. This coin can be a nickel, dime or penny, with nearly equal chance (penny is a 34% chance, nickel and dime are both 33%). Hopefully everyone enjoys the new changes.
