Slots Machine
A football-themed slot machine with weighted symbols. Match three of a kind for big payouts!
Payout Table
| Match | Symbols | Multiplier | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triple Jackpot | 🎰 🎰 🎰 | 100x | Legendary (2% weight) |
| Triple Trophy | 🏆 🏆 🏆 | 25x | Rare (5% weight) |
| Triple Gold | 🥇 🥇 🥇 | 10x | Rare (8% weight) |
| Triple Star | ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ | 7x | Uncommon (10% weight) |
| Triple Stadium | 🏟️ 🏟️ 🏟️ | 5x | Uncommon (15% weight) |
| Triple Common | 🏈/⚽/🎯 | 3x | Common (60% total) |
| Two Matching | Any pair | 2x | Frequent |
Expected Value Analysis
Slots has a house edge - most spins lose. The big payouts are rare but possible.
With weighted symbols, most common outcomes are either total losses or 2x wins from pairs. The jackpot is exciting but extremely unlikely (~0.0008% for three 🎰).
Blackjack
The most skill-based option. Play against the dealer with Hit, Stand, Double Down, and Surrender. Your stats are tracked automatically including win streaks and profit!
Rules
- • Goal: Get closer to 21 than the dealer without busting
- • Face cards = 10, Aces = 1 or 11
- • Soft hands display as "Soft X" (e.g., A+6 = Soft 17)
- • Dealer stands on 17
- • Blackjack (21 on first 2 cards) pays 1.5x
- • Double Down: Double bet for exactly one more card
- • Surrender: Return 50% of bet before your first hit
Basic Strategy
When to Hit
- • Your hand is 11 or less (can't bust)
- • Your hand is 12-16 and dealer shows 7+
- • Soft 17 or less (Ace counting as 11)
When to Stand
- • Your hand is 17+ (risk of bust too high)
- • Your hand is 12-16 and dealer shows 2-6
- • Soft 18+ (Ace counting as 11)
When to Double Down
- • Your hand is 11 (best doubling hand)
- • Your hand is 10 and dealer shows 2-9
- • Your hand is 9 and dealer shows 3-6
When to Surrender
Surrender lets you forfeit half your bet to avoid a likely loss. Use it sparingly against strong dealer upcards.
Optimal Surrender Hands
- • Your hand is 16 and dealer shows 9, 10, or Ace
- • Your hand is 15 and dealer shows 10
- • Surrender is only available before your first hit
- • You get back 50% of your original bet
Why surrender? With 16 vs dealer 10, you'll lose ~77% of the time playing normally. Surrendering guarantees you keep half instead of likely losing everything.

Red Zone
A push-your-luck football minigame. Start at your own 20-yard line and drive toward the end zone. Each play gains yards, but fumble risk increases as you advance. Cash out to lock in your multiplier, or risk it all for the 10x touchdown payout!
How It Works
- • Start at your own 20-yard line with 0% fumble risk
- • Click Run Play to gain 5-20 yards randomly
- • Fumble risk increases as you get closer to the end zone
- • Click Cash Out anytime to take your current multiplier
- • Reach the end zone for a TOUCHDOWN = 10x payout!
- • Fumble = lose everything
Field Position Table
Risk and reward scale as you advance down the field:
| Position | Multiplier | Fumble Risk | EV if Continue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Own 20 (Start) | 1.0x | 0% | Safe |
| Own 30 | 1.2x | 8% | 1.10x |
| Own 40 | 1.5x | 12% | 1.32x |
| Midfield (50) | 2.0x | 18% | 1.64x |
| Opp 40 | 2.8x | 25% | 2.10x |
| Opp 30 | 4.0x | 33% | 2.68x |
| Red Zone (Opp 20) | 5.5x | 42% | 3.19x |
| Opp 10 | 7.5x | 52% | 3.60x |
| TOUCHDOWN! | 10.0x | 0% | WIN! |
EV if Continue = Multiplier × (1 - Fumble Risk). This shows your expected return if you run another play at this position.
When to Cash Out
The math is in your favor early, but the decision gets tougher as you advance:
Always Run (Own 20-40)
Fumble risk is low (0-12%) and the expected value of running exceeds your current multiplier. There's no reason to cash out early.
The Danger Zone (Midfield to Opp 30)
Fumble risk is climbing (18-33%). The EV of continuing is still positive, but you're now risking meaningful multipliers. Consider your risk tolerance.
High Stakes (Opp 20 and beyond)
At 42-52% fumble chance, you're flipping coins with serious money on the line. At 5.5x+ multiplier, cashing out is the "safe" play. Going for the touchdown is pure gamble. Are you feeling lucky?
Optimal Strategy (Mathematically)
Since EV stays positive all the way to the goal line, the math says always run. But this ignores bankroll management and the pain of watching a 7.5x multiplier evaporate to a fumble. Play based on your risk tolerance and how much you're betting.
Stats & Leaderboards
Every Red Zone drive is tracked. Compete on the leaderboards!
/redzoneleaderboard

- • Most Touchdowns - Total TDs scored
- • Highest TD Rate - Win percentage (min 10 games)
- • Longest Drive - Most yards gained in a single game
- • Highest Profit - Net winnings over all games
- • Best TD Streak - Consecutive touchdowns
- • Biggest Single Win - Largest single payout
Streak tracking: TD streaks count consecutive touchdowns. Cashing out resets your streak. Can you string together multiple TDs in a row?

Pro Tips
For consistent odds, stick to coin flip. It's the fairest game with no house edge per bet.
Slots is entertainment, not investment. Play for the thrill of big wins, not expected profit.
Blackjack rewards study. Learn basic strategy to minimize the house edge.
Red Zone is for thrill seekers. The math says always run, but watching a 7x multiplier fumble away hurts. Cash out when you're happy with your win.
Never gamble with coins you need. Keep your core savings in the bank, gamble with wallet funds you can afford to lose.
