Umamusume player claims to get “boosted luck” by playing the game on a fridge

An Umamusume fan has managed to use his smart fridge to play the game to train Minoho Bourbon, claiming that it boosts his luck.

While Umamusume: Pretty Derby has been around in Japan for some time, the popularity of the game truly went through the roof following the release of its global version.

The premise of the game itself is quite simple. In this gacha game, you can train a plethora of different horse girls in their Careers as well as see them participate and thrive in all sorts of races.

One of the most common ways to play this game is through mobile, considering it’s available on iOS and Android. However, one fan decided to take it a step further and essentially repurposed his fridge into a device to play this simulator title.

User soultgs on TikTok has gone viral for showcasing his Umamusume: Pretty Derby gameplay on his Samsung refrigerator.

While a fascinating and unique way to play, at the same time, it also poses the question of whether or not it’s comfortable to play on a fridge for long periods, considering the position you’d have to be in, as well as the lack of an armrest.

In one of the clips, he was seen training Mihono Bourbon when a family member asked him what he was up to. When asked why he played on the fridge, he jokingly said, “Why wouldn’t I play on the fridge? Come on now, it’s a lot bigger on my phone and on my PC. If I can use a fridge, why can’t I use a fridge?”

Eventually, he was met with a decision of having to gamble on a 24% failure on Guts while training. That’s a risky move at first glance, but it certainly didn’t discourage him at all, as he suggested that playing on the fridge helps him with his luck.

In his own words, he said: “24% failure, but it’s on the fridge, so I have a boosted luck.” As if predicting his own future, the risky option ended up being a success.

Ultimately, in a separate clip, he showcased the labor of his hard work in training his Umamusume. Although she didn’t end up winning the race in the end, he seemed pretty content, mentioning that she had “tried her hardest” in the comments.
