Buy a ticket in ETH or USDG, draw one of twenty-one outcomes, and a settled run pays real stock tokens into your wallet. The table is the product, so it is printed here in full rather than linked.

Exactly. The twenty-one weights sum to 10,000 bps and sum(weight × multiplier) to 900,000 — both asserted in a unit test against the same numbers you see below.

Four runs in five come back worth three quarters of the ticket or less. That is the single most important number on this page, and it is not a footnote.

All twenty-one outcomes
Every cell here is computed from the weights the machine is deployed with, the cumulative column included, so this page cannot drift out of agreement with the contract.
The Annual Review prize table: twenty-one outcomes, their weight in basis points of 10,000, their probability, and the running cumulative probability.

The Performance Review is negative expectancy. A 90.000% return to player is a −10.00% expectation on every run, and it is the average across all twenty-one rows — not what a typical run does. 81.58% of runs land on 0.70× or 0.75×; 90.02% come back worth less than the ticket; 9.98% return the ticket or better. The distribution is paid for by the long tail — one run in 1,000 is the 50.00×. SPEC §14.5 requires this paragraph on the page itself; it is here because it is true, not because a disclaimer was needed.
● What rank actually buys
Rank moves the edge, never the odds
A Manager and an Intern draw from an identical table. The Manager just hands less of the ticket to the house.

Rank moves the edge, never the probabilities. Every row of the prize table is identical for an Intern and for a CEO; a Manager simply hands less of the ticket to the house. Weighting the table by rank would make the outcome unverifiable — third parties can recompute a multiplier from the published word only while there is exactly one table — so the discount is applied to the 10% edge instead, and the machine checks the rank on chain at settle. The base ladder pays 90.000%; the best seat in the company pays 92.000%. Both are below 100%.
WHERE THE EDGE GOES10% AT DEPLOY
The house edge is 10% at deploy, written into the machine's bytecode. Three of its four destinations are inside that number; the fourth is charged separately and is not part of it.
Creator Pushed at settle. On official machines the creator is PayrollBooster, so it returns to Payday.2.5% in the edge
PayrollBooster Straight into the Payday pot, converted to stock and paid out by rank weight.2.5% in the edge
Protocol Accrues inside the machine. Withdrawable to the immutable treasury only above the bankroll floor.5% in the edge
Buyback spread Not part of the house edge. Charged when winnings are sold back to the machine, and it stays in the bankroll for the reclaimer.5% separate
On an official machine the creator share is PayrollBooster, so half the edge — creator plus booster — comes straight back to the floor as salary. The protocol share accrues inside the machine and can only be withdrawn above the bankroll floor, because a machine that cannot pay its reserved prizes is a machine that should not be sellable.

Nothing indexed yet. The read API is answering and has no events to report: the protocol ships closed and this phase has not been opened by the owner (SPEC §13). When Phase 4 opens, each row fills with that machine's ticket price, its bankroll in real shares, and how much of it is currently reserved against open rounds.
RUN HISTORYNOT INDEXED
No runs have settled. The Review machines are not deployed: the protocol ships closed and Phase 4 is a separate, explicit owner call (SPEC §13).

Bankroll committed against open rounds. Every open round reserves the 50.00× worst case, and an uncovered prize is never sold.
AFTER A RUNCLOSED
A settled run pays real shares. There are three things you can do with them, and the middle one has a price.
KeepShares stay in your wallet
Sell back to the machine5% buyback spread
SealsealIntoCertificate — a bearer deed
The buyback spread is charged only when winnings are sold back, it is separate from the house edge, and it stays in the bankroll rather than leaving the machine — the reclaimer is topping up the pot the next player draws from. Sealing routes the shares into a numbered deed with its own vault instead, which is the same instrument the Grant Counter issues.
● Randomness and the counter
Commit before entropy
The same conductor drives the Earnings Call on the IPO Desk, byte for byte, so neither can be sniped.
VRNG CONDUCTORNOT CHAINLINK VRF
There is no production Chainlink VRF on Robinhood Chain. The conductor reads a word from a certified on-chain print feed instead. It is verifiable and it is not the industry standard — both halves of that sentence belong on this page.
Commit before entropyA ticket commits to a word that does not exist yet
Derived fromFuture prints, after the commit lands
VerificationwordOf(id) === previewWord(id)
Cancel after a bad rollImpossible
If the feed thins outFails closed — no new tickets
Stuck runRescued after 48h, full refund
Reserved per open round50.00× in real shares
Source migration3-day timelock, two calls
Nobody picks the outcome. Not the player, not the house, not a single miner — the deciding print does not exist when the run is committed. Once it lands the round closes and the ticket cannot be withdrawn.
Fail closed, not fail open. If prints thin out the machine stops selling. Settling, rescuing, redeeming and buying back keep working in every state — the paths that return money never depend on the feed.
An uncovered prize is not sold. Concurrency is bounded by inventory: every open round reserves the worst case for the house, 50.00×, in real shares. A machine cannot owe a prize it does not hold.
Migration is a config change. An IEntropySource adapter sits in front of the feed, so moving to VRF is proposeConductor, 3 days, then commitConductor — not a redeploy, and not a same-block swap.
GRANT COUNTERCLOSED
An Equity Grant is a flat 1× certificate on any listed ticker. There is no draw, no multiplier and no house edge: you pay for stock, the router buys the stock, and the exact pool output is sealed into a numbered bearer deed with its own ERC-6551 vault. The fee is one dollar, flat, at any size.
Payout1.00× — no draw
Fee$1.00 flat, never a percentage
Fee splitHalf PayrollBooster, half treasury
Priced byStockRouter, at purchase
SealedExact pool output, into the deed
Inventory usedNone — machines are untouched
Size limitPool liquidity only
Secondary royalty3.33%, capped at 5%
The deed is a bearer instrument. Whoever holds it holds the shares: redeem burns the deed and opens the vault in the same transaction, so an empty certificate cannot exist and a redeemed one cannot be resold. Winnings from a Review run can be sealed the same way with sealIntoCertificate instead of being taken as loose stock.
The counter is the honest way to buy the ticker. A Grant is 1× with a one dollar fee at any size. The Review pays back 90.000% on average, with 81.58% of runs at 0.70× or 0.75×. If what you want is exposure to a ticker, the counter is strictly better and this page will keep saying so. The machine exists because some people want the draw; it is priced as a game, not as an investment product.
