A round lasts 60 seconds. You bet SOL on a country and a direction (Down, Neutral, or Up). When the round closes, one country and one direction are picked as the winner using Solana slot-hash entropy from a slot that didn't exist yet when the round opened — nobody can front-run it, nobody can reveal a seed.

The final ten seconds. Shogun Hachiko IX watches the slot-hash dice spin from Tokyo command. The bet-log ring pulses. Russia and Japan are neck-and-neck. Nobody — not even him — knows which country the slot hash will pick.

Only countries that actually got bets are eligible. Bet the exact winner and you split the SOL prize pot plus the main dogeBTC winner pool. Get the country right but miss the direction and you still share a consolation dogeBTC pool. Every round has a 1-in-625 shot at the motherlode jackpot, paid on top of the exact winners' share.

If the round is on your own country, the same bet also feeds the mining war — no separate entry, no extra fee.

• Single. One country, one direction. Fastest path, clearest conviction.
• Batch. Up to ~45 picks in one transaction, same stake each. Good for broad coverage.
• Autominer — fixed slate. Save your favourite picks and fund a vault. It plays every round until the vault drains.
• Autominer — random. Set a count and one direction. The contract shuffles fresh countries for you each round.

Betting tickets are how most players actually play. You buy them in bundles (a free Bitcoin Doge character comes with every bundle), and they bet like SOL — capped at 25% of round SOL volume so the ticket-heavy meta can't dominate the pot. See Bitcoin Doges for the bundle tiers.

The autominer is an on-chain vault that places your bets every round without asking you to sign each one. You can run it in SOL mode (deposit SOL upfront) or ticket mode (use free mint tickets instead). Turn on auto-reload and winning SOL rolls back into the vault for more rounds instead of to your wallet. Close the vault any time — anything unused refunds.

Lock one doge in as your gameplay doge and it plays every round with you. Every bet earns it XP, and bets can fire a mutation (Evolution, Power surge, or Trait shift) that updates its DNA and multiplier on-chain. You can only run one gameplay doge at a time.

Pulling a doge back out is a two-step wait. Hit Request Unlock, clear any pending claims, and wait for the next mining war to start before you can Withdraw. The delay is deliberate — without it a whale could swap in a fresh max-multiplier doge mid-cycle and farm the leaderboard.
