Receiving rewards really hinders playing golden tickets well, and I only manage to complete three boards, I very rarely have time to start the fourth.... maybe there is a tactic to skip receiving rewards, but I don't know it... then you can have time to start the sixth board...
It's done ON PURPOSE. Much like GE was designed from day 1 - before the changes to streamline it a few months ago.
How that works: In software engineering, the term
"modal" refers to using a dialog box which
then blocks interaction with the main application window (the drop game itself) until the user responds to that dialog box directly. This means users must address the modal dialog box telling you of your fabulous prize reward —typically by clicking a button like "OK" or "Cancel"—before returning to the main game interface, which is in progress.
A modal dialog box introduces such a mode by temporarily altering the application's state to focus on the dialog, thereby preventing interaction with other parts of the application until the dialog is dismissed. This ensures that what INNO thinks is critical information is acknowledged or necessary input is provided before proceeding back with the game (and the countdown timer you're racing).
Inno does this, for this event, ON PURPOSE. They don't want you doing 12 screens - that's too fast.
We all get it. From their perspective, the modal dialogs during GOLD TICKET play DOES disrupt user workflows by forcing immediate attention and potentially leads to smaller accomplishments of value - especially when users are confused or frustrated by the interruption.
I'll only add that they're being removed in the game in other places, BUT... they've been added to the event to do exactly that - slow you down.
Inno gets to decide where it's important to use them - judiciously or not. Honestly they should be reserved for situations where it's essential to halt the main workflow until the user has provided the required input or made a decision.
But not every drop reward - that's just makes a click-fest - on purpose.
