One rule: call a ring — "this ring or closer" — and take the shot. Hit your call or deeper: the pot multiplies (1+ ×1.2 · 2+ ×1.5 · 3+ ×2 · 4+ ×3 · 5+ ×4 · 6+ ×6 · 7+ ×10 · 8+ ×15 · 9+ ×30 · 10 ×60 · X ×150). Land below your call — the pot is gone. Up to 5 shots per round, cash out between any two; change your call before every shot.
Controls: RELOAD loads a fresh round — the stake shown on it buys the five shots. FIRE shoots at your called ring, loading a round first if none is live. CASH OUT banks the pot between shots. On phones the three sit in the stage corners; on wide screens they line up under the call cards. Tapping a ring aims at it; tapping it again fires. The five small targets above the paper keep the round's score — green is a hit, red is the miss.
The black ring is the house's ring. It beats every call — for the widest call (1+) it is the only way to lose — and 20% of shots land there. Every call pays the same honest 96% per shot (multiplier = 0.96 ÷ its chance); only the volatility is yours to choose.
The streak bonus — one round, one edge. Every consecutive hit after the first multiplies your settled pot by 1/0.96: ×1.042 after two hits, ×1.085 after three, ×1.130 after four, ×1.177 for the full clip. The refund cancels per-shot compounding exactly, so cashing after any shot — or riding all five — returns the same 96% in expectation. No strategy is punished: the clip is yours to empty.
Fairness: each round's seed is committed before your first shot (SHA-256 below) and revealed when the round settles. Shot j uses u = int(HMAC-SHA256(seed, round ‖ ":" ‖ 2j)[0:13 hex]) / 2⁵², scored against the published cumulative ring table — re-derive every shot from the revealed seed.
