Jackpots and maximum-win rules#

Afterlife currently has two different jackpot mechanisms. They must not be conflated.

Fixed five-SCATTER jackpot#

Landing one SCATTER on all five reels in the paid base result awards 20 free spins and opens a weighted fixed jackpot tier:

Tier	Payout	Selection probability
Mini	40× total bet	40/49
Major	200× total bet	8/49
Grand	2,000× total bet	1/49

This jackpot is part of the regular 92% game. It is calculated as a multiple of the paid total bet and is included when applying the regular maximum.

Shared simulation progressive#

Every paid simulation spin contributes to a shared must-hit meter. The winning payout is the complete funded meter, not a fixed bet multiple. It is funded by the separate 2% split described in 2% progressive contribution.

The progressive is simulation-only and disabled in mainnet beta.

Regular maximum#

The server adds the following regular components:

$$W_{\text{regular}}=W_{\text{base}}+W_{\text{free spins}}+W_{\text{fixed jackpot}}+W_{\text{collect}}$$

It then applies:

$$P_{\text{regular}}=\min\left(W_{\text{regular}},;2{,}000\times\text{total bet}\right)$$

The 2,000× cap applies to the complete paid spin and every feature it awards, not separately to each line or free spin.

Progressive outside the cap#

In simulation, any progressive win is added after the regular cap:

$$P_{\text{simulation}}=P_{\text{regular}}+P_{\text{progressive}}$$

The final settlement can therefore exceed 2,000× the paid bet when the shared progressive hits. Documentation and interfaces should say “2,000× regular maximum,” not “absolute maximum payout.”

Mainnet reserve enforcement#

Mainnet Beta accepts a real-value spin only after a fresh reserve snapshot and a serialized reservation cover the complete published 2,000× regular exposure. The default reserve ratio is 120%. Active game balances, payout holds, and current spin or burn-credit reservations count toward required coverage.

The current public MVP uses an explicitly confirmed single-primary-RPC verification mode. That is a bounded availability and verification tradeoff for the present $10-per-wallet lifetime cash-out ceiling; independent secondary-RPC verification remains the next operating upgrade.
