Many people have this experience: You sit before a gambling table. You keep placing the bet. You know the Goddess will finally smile at you. You just don't know when. You have only to wait. As the time goes by, the bets in your hand become fewer and fewer. You feel the time goes slower and slower. This lengthy waiting process become painfully long, like a train running straightforwardly into hell. You start feeling your whole life is a failure, as the jackpot never comes...

Hey, why so painfully waiting? The Goddess always smile at you in the end, right? So, why not put this painfully waiting process to a computer program? Yes. This is the whole idea, the greatest invention in the century:: An automatic gambler! There is no secret. It is simple brute force. It endlessly runs toward the final prize. You can go for other business: sleep, eat, work. When you finally came back, you wins. With it, the hell of gambling is history!

Remember, that the computer is never affected by emotion, luck, everything. It never gets anxious or depress. It simply, faithfully, determinedly runs the probability until the jackpot. As you know, the anxiety and depression is the enemy of the games, while a simple, faithful and determined mind is the only path to the jackpot.

NOTES

It's so funny! May I join the game?

No. That's the whole point of acme. Human beings are never acme. Only machines are acme. So, in order for everything to be acme, no human being is allowed. This ensures that when guessing, the player is never bothered by all kinds of feelings: anxiety, depression, anything. It just guesses, precisely. Nothing more.

BUGS

No. This can't possibly be wrong. This is brute-force. It will try until it succeeds. Nothing can stop it from success. You always win! You will always win! The Goddess of fortune will always smile at you!
