Hello fellow gamers and token-enthusiasts! If you’re diving into the world of Stakehouse Den, here’s a clear and professional rundown of their Reward Pools — explained by someone who’s done the homework so you know exactly how your play translates into real COLONY token value.
What are these Reward Pools?
Within the ecosystem of Stakehouse Den, the community through Arcade Colony DAO has allocated 80 million COLONY tokens per year for five years, exclusively for game-related rewards.
That fully breaks down into:
8 million COLONY per year to standard gameplay rewards for each of eight games (Blackjack, Roulette, Slots, Poker, TBD)
2 million COLONY per year to the jackpot pools for each of those games
Standard Game Rewards
When you win a match in any of these games, you earn what’s called Rshares (reward shares). Losing doesn’t contribute — only wins count.
The formula for Rshares is:
Rshares = (ColonyStakingMultiplier / 10) × (GameResultFactor / 10) × (HotSauce)^1.2
Where “HotSauce” is a metric for play activity, and the “GameResultFactor” depends on the game and win type.
Then your reward is calculated as:
GameRewards = (Your Rshares / (TotalRshares in 2-week window + Your Rshares)) × (PoolBalance / 1000)
And note: an individual game reward can’t exceed 1% of the pool.
Jackpot Pools
Want a big win? The jackpot pools unlock when a player uses at least 10,000 HotSauce in a game round.
Triggered by special events like:
In roulette: choosing a single number and hitting it.
In video poker: hitting a royal flush.
In blackjack: splitting aces, getting blackjack on both and dealer not blackjack.
In slots: hitting 777.
Every 10,000 HotSauce gives you access to ~1% of the bonus pool (subject to change based on feedback and game).
Why this matters
What stands out here is transparency and alignment: Your stake in the ecosystem (via staked COLONY, Hot Sauce activity, and wins) directly impacts your reward. It’s not a flat giveaway — it’s performance-based, which encourages active engagement and links your play to visible metrics and outcomes.
