Crates

"This is not a game. Rather, it is a promotion to encourage players to use crystals by playing on a purchaser's desire to gamble. In this case, a player must use crystals in order to have a chance of winning something. If you didn't get what you desire, you have the option to continue or stop. Please be aware of this possibility!"

The probability for both chance are (thanks to RobinCarr, in comment):

• 1st Chance = Tier1 + Tier2 + Tier3 + Tier 4 = 3% + 17% + 45% + 35% = 100%
• 2nd Chance = Tier1 + Tier2 + Tier3 + Tier 4 = 1.5% + 5% + 38.5% + 55% = 100%
