There are eleven boxes left. You have opened the following:

I will take... Number 9

Number nine brings your total to just $10. That's right, it was the XXX. I am so sorry.

Joy, you are back up! Pick your first box within 72 hours to proceed.

Can I sign up again?

Of course. Simply state the contest you will be starting.

A short story contest.

Box number 1, please!

Number 1 contains...$40!

You can leave now with $40 or keep going...

Is this gonna continue?

In a word, yes. Joy, as you failed to post a box, you leave with half of your earnings. Don't spend all of that $20 in one place, you hear?

Next up is Bookworm! bookworm, pick a box and start us off.

Box number three Howie!

You open up the game with...$50! You can either press your luck and continue, or go home with $50.

I don't get odds and statistics?

In a word, no. Yesterday was Cow Appreciation Day, and I ended up working a total of 17 hours. I was kind of tired. Here you go, if it makes you feel better.

There is a 20% chance that your next box will be either a Mystery Round or the XXX.

There is a 26% chance that your next box will bring your total over $100.

You have a lot to gain, and a little to lose. What would you like?

Push your luck, bookworm!

I will! Box number twelve!

In a twist of cruel fate, box 12 contains...

the XXX.

Bookworm, your game is over, and you have won $10. Feel free to sign up again.

Aftershocker, your game begins now! Pick a box to get started.

As an afterthought, I was not expecting games to start and conclude this quickly. Let's get some feedback. What am I doing wrong or right? What improvements could I make to this game?

It's ending quickly because it's random chance. There's nothing you can do about it, and you're not doing anything wrong.

Box number 5, please.
