Chance Ethel will dodge Isla's blast (re-rolls off the phone row).
Probability Dominic intercepts & steals 50% of your damage.
❌ 0/2 Phone Blasts
❌ 0/1 Negative Intercepts
❌ 0/2 Money Burns
ETHEL and ISLA deal the most damage. BRIDGE, BIKE, and HEART deal moderate damage. Hits are multipled by 6x.
ETHEL
ISLA
BRACKETS: When Ethel or Isla land on both sides of Dominic, he is sent to PRISON. When they bracket his house, the house BURNS.
BLAST RADIUS: When Isla's Phone lands, it damages itself and adjacent symbols. Positive and negative hits accumulate.
PRISON: Dominic loses all visible assets ($1B hidden remains). All regular hits do only 5% damage representing prison resistance.
SMART/DUMB PROTOCOL: System occasionally intercepts spins, requiring a password crack to burn bridges and deal massive damage.
ENGINE MATH: PROGRESSIVE METERS
The machine tracks an internal value starting at $2,000. For UI scaling, this is multiplied by 10M to hit the $20B starting visual. Contributions route 2.5% of "Dead Spin" values directly into the core pool.
ENGINE MATH: PAYOUT HIERARCHY
All base engine payouts scale natively dynamically. Standard 6x scaled yields:
• ETHEL: $120 / $360 / $1500 damage
• ISLA: $60 / $180 / $600 damage
• OTHERS: Linear scale off base rank
NARRATIVE ESCALATION RNG
The game uses a dynamic scaling algorithm designed to prevent the empire from naturally reaching the $50B Fatal limit.
As Dominic breaches $23B, a background Intervention Roll begins. The probability of the engine forcefully interrupting standard RNG cleanly maps to the danger threshold, maxing out at an 85% probability of an immediate, enforced Arrest Bracket sequence right before $50B.
