This game had 104 winners in Round 5, in a pot that 332 people contributed to. That's a 31.33% win rate (about 5% higher than average, so the higher buy-in continues to make a difference to success rate). As per usual in Round 5, a higher percentage and number of people won than in Round 4, reflecting people catching up with the lower goal. Winners got $41.90 each and people who have won each round have now made $183.37. The average for a Round 5 pot is $153, so there is a little bonus in sheer dollars, but not as much when you consider the amount above stake isn't as great as in a normal Transformer. The game lost about 2.06% of players this round, for a natural attrition total of 10.99%. Both numbers are a little lower than average.
Now for the fun projections. 137 people qualified for the final round (although that number may change a bit). That's 27.88% of the people that started the game and 31.33% of the people who were playing in Round 5. Both of these numbers are a little lower than average for the conventional game - weaker players in this game despite the higher stakes.
If all 137 people make 10% by the end of Round 6, a winning share should be about $175. In the games that have already ended, about 83% of the people actually make it, which would bring the winning share to about $210. These numbers look really good if you're playing a normal Transformer, but in this game you have to beat $175 if you pre-pay and $210 if you pay monthly to make a profit on this game.
Good luck, everyone.
