# Stones

## How the Game Works

Stones is a 5-minute round-based wager. Players pick one of five stones; at round close a wheel is spun by Chainlink VRF to select the winning stone. Bets on the winning stone share the round's prize pool in proportion to stake size.

## Game Logic

The multiplier for each stone moves inversely with the share of the pool that stone holds. The least-popular stone in the round offers the highest payout if it wins; the most-popular stone offers the lowest. This auto-balancing keeps the expected return per stone roughly equivalent and rewards contrarian bets.

## How to Bet

1. Connect your wallet (Pass NFT required).
2. Select a stone. The current odds for each stone are displayed transparently.
3. Enter your CELT amount.
4. Confirm the transaction. Earlier bets in the round earn a larger bonus weight.
5. Track active bets in the **My Bets** tab.
6. The round resolves automatically when the countdown ends.

## Winner Announcement

1. Bets close at the countdown end.
2. The contract requests a random number from Chainlink VRF.
3. Funds are distributed automatically: **95%** to winners, **5%** to the bonus pool, **3.6%** to conservative staking as the winning fee.
4. Winning bets receive their proportional share of the prize pool in the same transaction.

## Bonus

5% of all bets in a round flow into the bonus pool. Distribution uses an order coefficient — **10** for the first bet of the round, decaying linearly to **1** for the last — multiplied by bet size. The bonus is applied automatically at settlement; no claim is required.
