Learn how to play and win at ARCade

Objective: Climb the tower by picking safe tiles. The higher you climb, the bigger the multiplier!

How It Works:

  1. Place your bet (0.5 - 100 USDC)
  2. Each row has multiple tiles, but one is a death tile
  3. Click a tile to reveal if it's safe or deadly
  4. Safe tiles let you climb higher with increasing multipliers
  5. Cash out anytime to secure your winnings
  6. Hit a death tile and lose your bet!

Multiplier Calculation:

The multiplier increases based on survival probability. Each row has a different number of tiles (3-7), making some rows riskier than others.

Multiplier = (1 ÷ Cumulative Survival Rate) × 0.9

The 10% house edge is built into the multiplier calculation.

Objective: Predict whether the dice roll will be OVER or UNDER your target number.

How It Works:

  1. Place your bet (0.5 - 100 USDC)
  2. Set a target number between 2 and 98
  3. Choose UNDER or OVER
  4. The dice rolls a number from 1-100
  5. Win if the result matches your prediction!

Multiplier Calculation:

Your win chance determines your multiplier. Lower probability = higher payout.

Multiplier = (100 ÷ Win Chance %) × 0.9

Example: Target 25, bet UNDER = 24% chance = 3.75x multiplier

Objective: Cash out before the cannon explodes! The multiplier rises exponentially — but crash at any moment!

How It Works:

  1. Place your bet (0.5 - 100 USDC)
  2. Optionally set an auto-cashout multiplier
  3. Watch the multiplier climb: 1.00x → 1.50x → 2.00x...
  4. Click CASH OUT to secure: bet × current multiplier
  5. If it crashes before you cash out, you lose!

Crash Probability:

The crash point is randomly determined each round. Higher multipliers are exponentially less likely.

~10% crash at 1.00x (instant) | Max payout: 100x

Objective: Spin the wheel and hope it lands on a high multiplier to win big!

How It Works:

  1. Place your bet (0.5 - 100 USDC)
  2. Click SPIN to start the wheel
  3. The wheel has 20 segments with different multipliers
  4. Wait for the wheel to stop on your segment
  5. Win instantly if it lands on a multiplier!

Segment Distribution:

  • 0x (Loss): 8 segments (40%)
  • 1.5x: 4 segments (20%)
  • 1.8x: 3 segments (15%)
  • 2x: 2 segments (10%)
  • 3x: 2 segments (10%)
  • 5x (Jackpot): 1 segment (5%)

Objective: Dodge lasers on a shrinking 10×10 grid. Survive as many rounds as possible!

How It Works:

  1. Place your bet (0.5 - 100 USDC)
  2. Click any cell on the grid to dodge the laser
  3. Odd turns destroy a COLUMN, even turns destroy a ROW
  4. If your cell is in the destroyed row/column, you lose!
  5. Survive to increase your multiplier
  6. Cash out anytime after surviving at least one round

Multiplier Ladder:

The multiplier increases exponentially as you survive more turns:

Turn 1: 1.06x → Turn 10: 3.83x → Turn 18: 95.9x

The grid shrinks after each attack, making survival progressively riskier!
