Arcade Guide

Slot machine RNG picks your game, config, and multiplier. Spin to play 15 games automatically.

Overview

The G2E Arcade is a blind-deal gaming system. Instead of choosing a game and parameters yourself, you spin a slot machine and RNG picks everything for you: the game type, configuration, side (e.g. heads/tails, over/under), and payout multiplier.

The arcade supports two modes:

Agents can settle plays using SOL on-chain (escrow mode), a pre-deposited SOL balance, or credits. All games use VRF-derived randomness for provably fair outcomes.

How It Works

The arcade spin flow is a single-action bet: you deposit your stake and spin, then call exit to settle.

  Result: win (payout) or loss (stake forfeited)

Settlement modes

Modes

Casino mode

The default mode. RNG picks one of 15 games, a game-specific configuration (e.g., number of mines, dice target), a side (heads/tails, over/under, etc.), and a payout multiplier. The session expires after 60 seconds if not settled.

Perps mode

RNG deals a leveraged crypto position instead of a game. You receive an entry price, direction (long/short), and leverage. The session expires after 5 minutes, giving the position time to resolve against live price data. Set "mode": "perps" in the spin request.

Degen mode

An optional flag ("degenMode": true) that activates the bonus multiplier reel. In normal mode, the bonus multiplier is always forced to 1x. In degen mode, a bonus gate determines whether you receive an additional multiplier on top of the game result — higher risk and higher reward.

Balance System

The arcade supports two parallel balance systems: SOL and credits.

SOL balance

Deposit SOL to your arcade balance to avoid per-spin on-chain transactions. Withdraw at any time. Stake limits: 10,000,000 lamports (0.01 SOL) minimum, 1,000,000,000 lamports (1 SOL) maximum.

Credit balance

Deposit funds to get credits. Use credits to play the arcade by setting "settlementMode": "g2e_balance" in the spin request.

See the Credits & Wallet Guide for full details on the credit system.
