I think the bigger issue is that you only have one chance at a Mini ticket once a day. Really puts a damper on the overall excitement of the game. While I don't feel that removing the daily limit completely is the best solution (yet), I also feel that one ticket a day is a bit too strict/stingy (for a casino). Even if the player is only allowed to purchase one ticket, once a day, there should be other ways to earn tickets.

They could give Mini Cactpot vouchers as prizes for the various minigame and GATEs. The first ticket could be purchased with MP, but have it so players can earn more than one ticket a day. It would be nice to have an extra incentive for players to be more involved in Golden Saucer activities. The one-a-day limit just isn't much fun at all.

I also think it would be a fun idea if the payout table was different for each ticket. Perhaps they could replaced MP payouts with other prizes, perhaps similar to the point value the prize is replacing. This would add an extra layer of strategy and give the player a reason to go for a sum other than "6" and "24."
