Drop Chance is the official term used exclusively in Asphalt Xtreme as an equicalent to "drop rate". However, there are two important differences:
- In Asphalt Xtreme, "drop" means that a random number of a specific card is granted. In other words, it denotes the fact that a card occurs, but not how many of it. For example, if a box grants 4 drops, then players will get 4 times a random number of a card type. The real number of cards received from 4 drops can vary from 4 to 40.
- Contrary to other Asphalt games, the use of the word "chance" implies that "Drop Chance" not only denotes the average frequency of a card in the long run (= its expected value), but also explicitly denotes the probability of getting it. This is possible because Asphalt Xtreme Boxes do not have guarantees for certain cards. If a box contained a guaranteed card, the probability of getting it would always be 100 %, whereas the expected value would be different because the card does not make up 100 % of the box content.
