Cases

1. 01

   ticket = floor(float(0) × 1,000,000): one of a million tickets, from your own seed pair like a dice roll.

2. 02

   A case lists its prizes from most to least valuable, each with a number of tickets. Tickets are handed out in that order: the first prize owns tickets 0 … t₀−1, the second the next t₁, and so on.

3. 03

   multiplier = floor(prize value × 10,000 ÷ case price) ÷ 10,000. Payout = stake × multiplier.

4. 04

   A case's return = Σ tickets × multiplier ÷ 1,000,000 over its prizes.

float(k) and the rest of the notation are defined in the byte stream.

A case has a price and a list of prizes. Opening it pulls one prize; each prize's chance is printed beside it, to four decimals of a percent.

A prize is paid at its listed value, in the coin the case was opened with: the stake × (prize value ÷ case price). Nothing is shipped.

Every case is built to return about 96% of its price on average; the exact figure is printed on the case. The other 4% is the house's.

A few cases hold a prize worth more than the site's ordinary $250,000 maximum payout, up to $10,000,000. Such a case can be opened with a real coin only while the house's own funds would pay its top prize in full, in that coin; otherwise it says so and takes nothing. Play credits can always open it.

Prizes are named after real products to say what they are worth. NEEDRAGGS is not affiliated with any brand named; pictures are illustrations.

The special round: a prize that is both rare (a chance of 1.5% or less) and worth 20 times the case's price or more is not shown on the first reel. In its place the reel shows a gold coin, which stands for all such prizes of the case together; when the reel stops on the coin, a second reel of only those prizes turns and stops on the one that was pulled. It changes how a pull is shown and nothing else: one ticket decides the pull, and every prize's chance is the one printed beside it.
