Overview
Each time the player crosses a score tier threshold during a game, a Lottery Spin overlay interrupts gameplay briefly. A slot-machine-style wheel reveals a random prize before play resumes.
Status: Post-MiniPay launch roadmap.
Prize Pool Options
- Score multiplier — ×1.5 or ×2 applied to next 3 placements
- Revival token — stored, usable in the current session instead of paying $0.001
- Bonus points — flat +250, +500, or +1000 added immediately
- Cosmetic unlock — board skin or piece colour pack, available in the Shop
- Nothing — "BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME" (intentional, keeps mechanic honest)
UX Flow
- Score crosses tier threshold mid-game
- Tier-up banner appears (from colour modes feature)
- Lottery Spin overlay slides up from bottom
- Wheel spins ~2 seconds with escalating sound
- Wheel stops on prize, displayed with animation
- "TAP TO CONTINUE" prompt
- Player taps → overlay dismisses, game resumes
Technical Notes
- Spin result is deterministic — seeded by current game seed + deal count for on-chain log inclusion
- Score multipliers and bonus points affecting final score must be in packed move data for spot-check replay
- Revival tokens and cosmetic unlocks do NOT affect on-chain score — local state only
Contract change required: Yes (if spin prizes affect final score)
