Stakehouse Den stands out by designing its reward model with clarity, equity, and community involvement. At the core is the ARC-voted allocation of COLONY tokens — 80 million per year for five years. These tokens are evenly divided across the platform’s eight games, funneling 8 million tokens annually into standard play and an additional 2 million into the jackpot pools for each game.
Game Rewards: Rshares as the Mechanic
The system relies on Rshares (reward shares) to measure a player's contribution and determine payouts. Only winners earn Rshares — no rewards for losses — which promotes competitive integrity.
Rshares are calculated using three factors:
ColonyStakingMultiplier, based on how much COLONY a player has staked; mathematically, it’s 1 + 2^(log₁₀(stakedColony / 1,000,000)).
GameResultFactor, which depends on the type of game and the nature of the win.
HotSauce, raised to the power of 1.2. This enhances the value of engagement, especially when using this in-game resource.
The formula for Rshares:
Rshares = (ColonyStakingMultiplier / 10) × (GameResultFactor / 10) × (HotSauce)^1.2
And your Game Reward is:
(Game's Rshares ÷ Total Rshares over 2 weeks + Game’s Rshares) × (Game Pool Balance ÷ 1000)
There’s a cap: no single game can claim more than 1% of the total pool.
Jackpots: Extra Thrills for High-Risk Players
Jackpot pools add a layer of excitement. To participate, players must use at least 10,000 HotSauce in a round. Wins are triggered by special outcomes:
Hitting a single number in roulette
Achieving a royal flush in Video Poker
Splitting aces and drawing blackjack in both hands (without the dealer blackjacking)
Landing a 777 on slots
Players unlock 1% (TBD) of the bonus jackpot pool for every 10 k HotSauce spent—though this threshold may adjust with community feedback.
