Numbers

Every parameter, its launch value and its on-chain bound.

All of these are fields of the Config account, and the program rejects any value outside its bound. The admin can change them, except the three round windows, which are fixed when the program is initialized. Fees, shares, odds, payout and the minimum bet can't change once betting closes, so every opened bet plays under the terms in force when betting closed. Times assume about 0.216 s per slot.

What follows from them

  • Losing squares keep 100% − fee − zec_fee = 85%. Winning squares keep 100% − fee = 90%.
  • Of each stake: 8% to the jackpot, 1% to WHISP stakers (in ZEC) and 1% to ops; once the game buys WHISP, 6% jackpot, 2% WHISP, 1% stakers, 1% ops.
  • A round is 450 slots, about 97 s, so about 888 rounds a day and a jackpot about once a day on average.
