Spin and Play

🎰 Spin & Play — Game Design v1.0

Concept

Spin & Play is Playon’s fast-paced, high-adrenaline game mode, built for instant excitement.

Three users compete live on the next games of an ongoing day matches.

Each participant selects three active real-world players (potentially across different matches).

Every selected player receives a Fantasy Performance Score for their upcoming segment (game or set).

The sum of the three scores determines the participant’s total.

The highest total score wins the round and the jackpot multiplier (x2, x5, x10, x100) decides how big that win becomes.

Spin & Play merges real-world performance data, randomness, and skill to deliver short-format matches with huge upside potential.

Gameplay Loop

  1. Entry

    • The user selects a buy-in: €1, €2, €5, €10, €50, €100, or €500.

  2. Matchmaking (≤ 10 s)

    • Players are grouped into 3-player tables.

  3. Spin (Jackpot Draw)

    • A random multiplier is drawn using RNG.

    • Pot = (total buy-ins – rake) × multiplier.

  4. Player Selection

    • Each user selects one active player currently in play.

    • Users owning Playon cards can equip a card to apply a performance bonus automatically.

  5. Resolution

    • The chosen player’s next game or set is analyzed in real time.

    • A Fantasy Score is computed from live stats (aces, first-serve %, break points, points won, etc.).

    • The three participants’ totals are compared → ranking generated.

  6. Rewards

    • 1st place wins the full pot (weighted split in case of a tie).

    • Non-winners receive non-cash compensations such as Silver cards, Playon credits, tokens, or XP equal in perceived value to their entry fee.
