Can you explain how the ladder game works please? I can't see how you arrived at the house edge numbers you state.
To pick a simple example:
Bad Baby !
Jackpot: 0.015 BTC
Jackpot Kicker: 0.0375 BTC
Jackpot Donation: 25%
Jackpot Trigger: 0
Jackpot Count: 0
Payout: 97.125%
Min Bet: 0.02 BTC
Max Bet: 0.5 BTC

4 : 300.0000% ( 1.50000000 BTC ) + prog jackpot of 0.015 BTC
3 : 5.0000% ( 0.02500000 BTC )
2 : 2.0000% ( 0.01000000 BTC )
1 : 1.0000% ( 0.00500000 BTC )
The 4 returns total to 308%. So that's a 77% payout (308/4). I don't see how you get from there to the claimed 97.125% payout. If I add on the 25% jackpot donation I get 102%, so that's not it.
See my confusion?
It would be useful to have a full description of how the game works. There's no mention of the word "kicker" except for in the game table itself, so I'm not sure what that means. Is that the amount you initialise the jackpot at when it's won? No, it can't be because the jackpot is currently smaller than the kicker in the quoted example above.
Sorry for that, we are working on a much nicer html page
We recently had someone ask the same questions for our litecoin ladders.
Jackpot Counts, Trigger, Kicker and DonationsTriggerThe number the count must equal to collect the jackpot.
eg 4, requires the jackpot number to be hit 3 times and on the forth time the player collects the jackpot.
Only max bets can collect the trigger jackpot, but any size bet can increase the counter if it hits the jackpot number.
A trigger allows games to build a respectable jackpot over time, see our D20 game for an example.
CountThe number of times the jackpot has been hit this round.
The count is reset when the jackpot is collected (some games requires a trigger).
KickerWhen the jackpot is collected, the new jackpot is kicked with this amount.
DonationThe percentage of a players losses that are contributed to the jackpot.
eg: player bets 1, wins 0.5 loss = 0.5. Donation = 10%, 0.05 is donated to the jackpot.
