ONE BOARD FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE
Big Tumble
Every free and premium Tumble ball, and every staked drop from the 25 big blind tier up, enters the daily board automatically: only your best drop of the day counts.
How it plays
Every free and premium Tumble ball is entered automatically, and so is every staked drop from the 25 big blind tier up (a whole-wallet drop too, whenever it is at least that much): no opt-in. A smaller staked drop still pays out as published (house edge 8%), it just does not place. Only your single rarest drop of the day counts (ranked by how rare the result is, 1 in N, not by chips), so one great hit can carry you the whole day.
Drops are ranked by how rare the outcome was: the bay's true chance from that chute, shown as 1 in N. That is the same for a free ball, a Premium ball and a staked drop, so a free ball's edge bay beats a bought ball's centre bay.
The board settles at midnight UTC and pays named prizes straight to the wallet: paid in full, never shortened by the daily allowance. The podium grows with the field: from 100 entrants the top three win 1,000, 375 and 125 big blinds; from 30, the top two win 375 and 125; from 10, the winner takes 125; under 10 entrants, no place pays. During the beta (until public launch) the steps are 40, 15 and 5 entrants instead of 100, 30 and 10, with the same prizes.

Questions
Do I have to buy anything to enter Big Tumble?
No. Every free Tumble ball you drop enters automatically: there is no separate buy-in. Staked drops enter from the 25 big blind tier up.
How is Big Tumble judged fairly across different rungs?
Drops are ranked by how rare the outcome was: the bay's true chance, shown as 1 in N. That is the same for every ball and every stake, so what a drop pays never decides its place.
When does Big Tumble pay out?
The board settles at midnight UTC and the places the day’s field has reached are paid straight to the wallet the next time anyone checks in.
What happens with a tie on Big Tumble?
Ties split evenly: players with exactly the same score share the places they cover, and those places’ prizes are added together and divided equally. The 1st-place Vault Run pack and the 2nd- and 3rd-place Flip or Fold flips cannot be cut up, so they go one per place in the order the tied score was reached.
