How to Play

Joining a Jackpot Round

1. Navigate to Jackpot from the sidebar
2. Enter your bet amount
3. Click "Join Jackpot"
4. Watch your tickets appear in the pot
5. Wait for the round to complete

Multiple Bets

You can bet multiple times in a single round! Each additional bet:

• Adds more tickets to your total
• Increases your winning probability
• Updates your share of the pot in real-time

Understanding the Interface

The Pot Display

The main visual shows:

• Total Pot Value: Combined value of all bets
• Player Segments: Each player's share of the pot (color-coded)
• Your Share: Your percentage of the total pot
• Countdown Timer: Time remaining in the betting phase

Player List

Shows all participants with:

• Username/wallet address
• Amount bet
• Number of tickets
• Win probability (%)

Your Stats

• Your current bet in this round
• Your ticket count
• Your win probability

Winning Probability

Your chance of winning is directly proportional to your contribution:

Win Probability = (Your Tickets ÷ Total Tickets) × 100%

Example:

• You bet 1 SOL (100 tickets)
• Total pot is 10 SOL (1,000 tickets)
• Your win probability: 100 ÷ 1,000 = 10%

Winnings Calculation

The winner receives the entire pot minus the house edge:

Winnings = Total Pot × (1 - House Edge)
Winnings = Total Pot × 0.96

Example:

• Total pot: 10 SOL
• Winner receives: 10 × 0.96 = 9.6 SOL

Provably Fair

Every Jackpot round uses Random.org for external, verifiable randomness:

How It Works

1. Ticket Assignment: Each player's bet is converted to tickets (proportional to wager)
2. Random.org Request: We request a signed random string from Random.org
3. Winner Selection: The random value determines the winning ticket
4. Verification: Random.org's cryptographic signature proves the randomness was external

Verification Formula

// Random.org signed string → SHA-256 → Winner selection
const hash = sha256(signedString);
const randomValue = parseInt(hash.substring(0, 16), 16);
const winningTicket = randomValue % totalTickets;
// Player holding that ticket position wins

Strategies & Tips

Optimal Play

1. Diversify: Don't put all your funds in one round
2. Timing: Bet early to see how the pot develops
3. Assess Risk: Higher contributions = higher probability, but also more at stake

Understanding Expected Value

With a 4% house edge, the expected value of any bet is:

Expected Value = Bet Amount × 0.96

Over time, you'll average a 4% loss. Jackpot is designed for entertainment, not guaranteed profits.

Risk Considerations

Strategy	Risk Level	Win Probability	Potential Return
Small bet in large pot	Low	Low	High multiplier if win
Large bet in small pot	High	High	Lower multiplier
Medium bet, medium pot	Medium	Medium	Balanced

Game Rules

1. No Cancellation: Once you bet, you cannot withdraw from the round
2. Minimum Players: Round proceeds even with 1 player (you'd win your own bet back minus house edge)
3. Concurrent Bets: You can add multiple bets during the betting phase
4. Instant Payout: Winnings credited immediately after winner selection
