Which type of game are testers describing when it is too easy to hit a big payout, suggesting payouts should be less likely?

• A. Adventure
• B. Action
• C. Strategy
• D. Chance

Answer: (D)

In games of chance, outcomes are driven by randomness and probabilities, so big payouts are typically rare. If testers say it’s too easy to hit a big payout and imply that such rewards should be less likely, they’re pointing to a mechanic where randomness controls the results. Other genres—adventure, action, and strategy—center on player skill or progression, not random payout frequency, so the observation about payout likelihood aligns with chance-based design. The best fit here is Chance.
