- this is a prototype copy of the game so things are subject to change in the future
- the Tumblr will also have the opportunity to bet on what they think the outcome is going to be for the tumblr's turn

- the game immediately ends and at that point Whoever has the most gears is the winner
- the money is really on betting on other people
- the tumbler does get paid out first so if we don't have enough gears left in the supply then we are just going to pay out as much as possible and then the game would end immediately
