A Year of Dabo

I've been tracking my Dabo spins for the past year, and wanted to share the results.

I only do the credit spin, so this is all first-result, no extra weight for/against certain slots due to previous spins removing them from the odds.

Row 1: 00 00 XX 00 00
Row 2: 04 26 17 25 50
Row 3: 43 44 63 41 52


Percentage breakdown:
Row 1 wins: 0.00%
Row 2 wins: 33.42% (122)
Row 3 wins: 66.58% (243)

Most common positions for wins:
Row 3, spot 3
Row 3, spot 5
Row 2, spot 5
Row 3, spot 2
Row 3, spot 1
Row 3, spot 4

So, after a year, not a single top-row win. I think I got one top-row win before I started keeping track, but that still makes about a 1-in-500 chance.

  • Thanks for your work on this! A year-long study takes dedication. Looks to be in-line with previous reports.

  • Credit spin since Dabo came out, still no top row yet
  • I was spinning approximately 4 times per day for months and landed one top row prize - Fencing Sulu

    Definitely not worth it.

    I loosely tracked it as well.

    I haven't did one spin in weeks now = live and learn ;)

  • I got the 5* character on a 5k credit spin once, but it was on my second acct when I was still using it. Pretty early on too, I'd only been playing with that acct a couple of weeks I think.

    My results are almost identical. Dabo is for schematics and an occasional blue item from the middle row.

    Same with me, I got top row a couple times in the beginning then DB added in more items and probably lowered the chances of top row and I havent gotten top row since. Even when I have spent dilithium and spun dabo 5 times in a day I still didnt get top row.

  • I think they should Re-Rig the Dabo table for Christmas. Give everyone a big win.

  • I have been playing since launch. In all that time, I have won the jackpot twice (Tempted Data and just the other day, Mirror Worf). I have won a top shelf item twice as well (4* Cmdr Uhura and a Geordi’s Toolbox - best prize ever!).

    It had been a REALLY long time since I won a top shelf prize until I got Worf.
  • I usually do three spins a day. Have been playing for a year, and hit the top row three ot four times, never the jackpot, and only once for the 5* item. Going forward, this is losing value. Before the advent of voyages and starbases, the schematics were needed for replication. Now with all the replicator fuel from voyages, and excess nanoplastics and trans. Al since starbases were introduced, I keep the schematics to build the other ships I previously didn't need. Schematics for fully maxed ships are now diminished in value, and I foresee the day coming when I will stop spending dilithium on this.

    Wow, nice stat tracking. In the same boat here with no top-row landing in over a year (Row 1-5 only, never 5*). I could have every slot equipped with a needed item (yellow or green dot) except 2, row 3-3 and 3-5, and I will hit one of those 2 with the 5k spin. Thinking my odds of getting one of those yellow/green dot items on the second spin for 10 dil is better, I spend 10 dil... and hit row 3-5. Mudd-er Funker! Dabo is as rigged as Gauntlet, which **tsk tsk** elf balls as well (really DB... s u c k s is filtered? How about you focus on filtering the Chinese spam instead of your patron's feelings)!

    I've been playing almost exactly a year, and exactly one top row hit... Mirror Regent Worf... not bad considering other folks luck

    I recently hit the 15 month mark and only had 1 top row hit. Tommy Gun Dixon, which was nice. Had alot of satisfactory middle-row hits. Some good character items & the ship schematics were very nice for getting the 5* ships maxed out in the early days and made superb replicator fuel pre-voyages. But the prevalence of ouright unusable junk in the bottom row most days is discouraging to say the least.

    Great info, thanks for your work on this! I think I've had a little better luck than you with one top prize and a smattering of top row equipment, but it's good to know how rare these things are.
  • My one note of irony: the weird drop rate of 4* vs 5* ships.

    5* ship drop rate: 20% across 2 possible spots
    4* ship drop rate: 1% across 1 possible spot

    I have every 5* dabo-possible ship maxed, but only 1 4* ship maxed, and that was from Arena rewards.

    Pretty accurate with 0/3, 1/3 and 2/3 chances then. :)

  • Been playing since April 2016 and do the free Dabo spin every day. Have not once received the jackpot. Early on, received 2 of the 4* character rewards -- Mirror Uhura after the first run of her event (helpful for fusing my 2/4) and Defiant Commander Worf, who was also the free 4* monthly reward at that time (so pretty much worthless). Have hit the top row item 2 or 3 times, but it's been a really long time since that happened.
  • In my opinion, all random rolls ought to have published probability tables (and if I could pass one law to regulate loot-box games, it would be to make that mandatory), but dabo most of all, if only because it's so much easier to give us that information.
