stop Leave once no ball is in flight.
Every bet deals a fresh board of eight pockets and shows it before you
choose. Seven pockets are filler prizes drawn from 0.1x to 1.5x, mostly
0.5x and below, so the board is always busy. The eighth is a guaranteed
premium above 1.5x: usually 1.7x or 2x, occasionally 5x or 10x, and
about one board in 900 carries the 100x jackpot. Multipliers at or above
2x are whole numbers; below 2x they move in 0.1x steps. A DOUBLE appears
on about one board in twenty.
Filler prizes always return something, so a board is never a wall of
zeroes. Small fractions (0.1x, 0.5x) are the common texture; the
guaranteed premium is the reason to aim carefully.
Eight numbered top slots crown the board. A drop is 20 fair 50:50
bounces; the side walls reflect the ball, so the distribution is widest
in the middle and piles up against the walls. Because you see the board
first, the best slot moves from board to board. The pins stagger from
row to row, so even a ball that holds its lane visibly weaves between
them.
DOUBLE doubles EVERY prize on the board and drops the ball again for
free from any slot. The DOUBLE space stays where it is, so the doubling
can chain without limit: 2x becomes 4x, 8x, 16x... for as long as you
keep landing on it. The board grows hotter and brighter with each hit.
Multipliers INCLUDE your stake: 0.1x returns a tenth, 0.5x returns half,
2x returns double, and the 100x jackpot returns one hundred times
(before any DOUBLE).
Return is measured for a player who always chooses the best top slot:
exactly 100% — the house makes its money on slot choice, not on the
board. Dropping from a uniformly random slot returns about 80%. The table
command shows a blank board and the pay table; a House Edge instrument
reveals the exact odds. Fractional credits round without bias so the
average holds even for one-credit bets.
You cannot leave or re-bet mid-board. Shutdown refunds a committed
board; disconnecting forfeits an unfinished drop. A payout that cannot
be persisted keeps its stake pending for recovery rather than claiming
a paid win. Returns that would overflow the economy are capped.
