Choose rows, risk, and ball count, then add bucket returns across the round.

## What you are playing

Drop one or more balls through a peg board. Each landing bucket has a multiplier. Choose risk and rows before betting; there is no aiming decision during the fall.

## How to play

1. Choose Low, Medium, or High risk and 8–16 rows.
2. Choose 1–10 balls.
3. Set the stake per ball and check the total wager: per-ball stake times ball count.
4. Place the bet and add the returns from all balls.

## Rules and payouts

1. **Different bucket chances:** central buckets have more possible left/right paths than edge buckets. Buckets are not equally likely.
2. **Different paytables:** risk and row count change the multipliers. Table return is approximately 99%, with small differences between rounded configurations.
3. **Total cost:** stake per ball × number of balls. Add every ball’s returned amount to get the round’s gross return.
4. **Outcome and animation:** the random path determines the bucket. The bounce animation depicts that path; it is not an aiming challenge.

## Worked example

Choose **Low risk**, **eight rows**, and **three balls at 2 units each**. Total stake is **6 units**.

| Ball’s bucket multiplier | Return on its 2-unit stake |
|---|---|
| 0.62× | 1.24 |
| 0.90× | 1.80 |
| 1.31× | 2.62 |

These are actual multipliers on that board. Together they return **5.66**, so the round loses **0.34**. One profitable ball does not necessarily make the whole round profitable.

*Example amounts use generic currency units; the currency’s precision determines final rounding.*

## Practical tips

1. Check both ball count and per-ball amount before rapid repeat betting.
2. A rare edge prize is not as likely as a central bucket simply because both occupy one bucket. More balls increase total exposure when the per-ball stake stays fixed.

## Background

This variant uses a peg board, but its displayed risk and row paytable determines each bucket’s return.

## FAQ and recovery

### Can I influence the bounce?

No. The path and landing bucket come from the resolved outcome. Clicking during the bounce does not steer a ball.

### Does stopping autoplay cancel balls already committed?

Stopping autoplay prevents future bets in the run; it does not cancel balls already committed. This variant has no in-game cancellation control for a delayed result, so check the confirmed round status.

For an unresolved round, check the confirmed game status. The game shows current currency, balance, and wager limits.
