These prizes having varying probability of being awarded based on their monetary value. As an added element, the user will be able to purchase more expensive keys that improve their probability to win higher value prizes.
Furthermore, there will be a mechanic that allows users to collect “fragments” from the cases that will help build a separate and free key that they can use to open the crate.
