Utility Functions

validateBet(bet: number[]): boolean

Validates betting structure for mathematical correctness.

// Valid examples
validateBet([50, 50]);           // Equal probability
validateBet([25, 25, 25, 25]);   // Four equal outcomes
validateBet([90, 10]);           // Asymmetric probability

// Invalid examples
validateBet([0, 0]);             // No winning outcomes
validateBet([]);                 // Empty bet array

calculatePayout(wager: number, bet: number[], outcome: number): number

Calculates payout for specific outcome.

const payout = calculatePayout(1000000, [50, 50], 0); // 2x multiplier

calculateJackpotOdds(wager: number, poolSize: number): number

Determines jackpot probability based on wager size.

const odds = calculateJackpotOdds(10000000, 1000000000); // 0.001% base odds

Examples

Binary Prediction Market

// Create yes/no prediction market
const predictionGame = await sdk.playGame({
  poolAddress: usdcPool,
  wager: 50_000_000, // 50 USDC
  bet: [60, 40], // 60% probability for "Yes"
  clientSeed: 'prediction_12345',
  creatorFee: 200, // 2% to market creator
  jackpotFee: 0,   // No jackpot for predictions
  metadata: 'Election Outcome Prediction'
});

Multi-Outcome Casino Game

// Six-sided dice roll
const diceGame = await sdk.playGame({
  poolAddress: solPool,
  wager: 5_000_000_000, // 5 SOL
  bet: [16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 20], // Slightly favor outcome 6
  clientSeed: 'dice_roll_789',
  creatorFee: 300, // 3% house edge
  jackpotFee: 100, // 1% progressive jackpot
  metadata: 'Lucky Dice Roll'
});

Slot Machine Simulation

// Complex probability distribution
const slotGame = await sdk.playGame({
  poolAddress: bonkPool,
  wager: 1_000_000_000, // 1B BONK tokens
  bet: [
    500, // 50% - No win
    300, // 30% - Small win (2x)
    150, // 15% - Medium win (5x)
    40,  // 4% - Large win (20x)
    9,   // 0.9% - Huge win (100x)
    1    // 0.1% - Jackpot (1000x)
  ],
  clientSeed: 'slot_machine_456',
  creatorFee: 500, // 5% house edge
  jackpotFee: 200, // 2% progressive jackpot
  metadata: 'Triple 7s Slot Machine'
});

Security

Randomness Generation

The protocol implements a dual-seed randomness system ensuring provable fairness:

1. Client Seed: Player provides randomness input
2. Server Seed: RNG provider contributes entropy
3. Combination: Seeds are cryptographically combined using SHA-256
4. Verification: All randomness is publicly verifiable on-chain

Mathematical Integrity

• Overflow Protection: All arithmetic operations use checked math
• Bet Validation: Comprehensive validation of probability distributions
• Payout Limits: Maximum payout restrictions prevent pool drainage
• House Edge Caps: Maximum 3% house edge enforcement

Access Controls

• Authority Management: Granular permission system
• PDA Security: Program Derived Addresses prevent account manipulation
• Emergency Controls: Protocol-wide emergency stop functionality
• Audit Trail: Complete on-chain transaction history

Known Security Considerations

• RNG provider must be trusted for seed generation
• Pool liquidity affects maximum possible payouts
• Smart contract upgrades require governance approval
• Client seed predictability could affect fairness

Economic Model

Fee Structure

From each gaming session, fees are distributed as follows:

| Recipient | Default Rate | Purpose | |-----------|--------------|---------| | Protocol Treasury | 2.0% | Development and maintenance | | Game Creator | 1.0% | Application development incentives | | Liquidity Providers | 1.0% | Yield for LP token holders | | Progressive Jackpot | 0.5% | Exceptional payout accumulation | | Available for Payout | 95.5% | Player winnings pool |

Liquidity Provider Benefits

• Passive Income: Earn fees from all gaming activity
• LP Tokens: Tradeable tokens representing pool ownership
• Proportional Rewards: Earnings scale with liquidity contribution
• No Gaming Risk: Earn fees without direct betting participation

Economic Sustainability

• Protocol fees fund ongoing development
• Creator incentives encourage ecosystem growth
• Liquidity provider rewards ensure adequate pool funding
• Progressive jackpots drive player engagement
