Red / Blue Ball Bonus

Overview

The Red Ball Bonus and its rarer sibling the Blue Ball Bonus are skill minigames that pay balls. A landing in a Gold, Emerald or Ruby bin can drop a die; tap it to roll, and a top face (a 6 on a red die, an 8 on a blue one) opens the bonus board. There you stop 5 spinning dice to build a stack of multiplied balls, then time a sweeping portal to drop them over 9 multiplier bins.

Red dice start dropping at Marquee 6★ (Bonus Map (Red Balls)); blue dice need Marquee 50★ (Blue Dice (1-8)) as well. The Marquee calls this board the Bonus Map.

Getting a die

Dice drop as one of the bin's reward slots, so the chance is per landing in that bin (portal hops and split balls never roll them). Higher bins hand out dice that are both more common and loaded toward the winning face — a Ruby red die only rolls 4–6. Chances vary slightly by world because each world tunes its bins.

A colour that has already used its 3 runs today stops dropping entirely until the daily reset — its weight goes back to the other rewards.

Boosting die drops

Source	Effect
Carnival Phoenix	1★ Red Dice Chance — Red Dice drop more often from bucket rewards (Red Dice only). +0.00% at Lv 1 → +50% at Lv 100.
Crimson Die	Pet item: +3% red-dice drop weight per equipped copy (diminishing when stacked).

Rolling the die

• A dropped die waits on the board with TAP TO ROLL and its range (e.g. RANGE 4–6 · ROLL A 6 FOR BONUS). Dice you don't tap are still banked — you can roll them later.
• The roll is fair within the die's range. Only the top face wins: a 6 for red, an 8 for blue. A win banks one entry to the bonus.
• Each colour allows 3 runs per day (UTC), counted separately. When a colour is spent you'll see "Bonus 3/3 today — more tomorrow!"
• Two entries skip both the die and the daily cap: your first-ever run, and the Daily Bonus Map Run from Marquee 12★ (Daily Bonus Map Run) — see Bonus Map.

Phase 1 — Roll for balls

Every run starts with 10 ×1 balls. Then 5 dice spin one at a time; tap to stop each. Die N's face is how many ×N balls you add — die 1 adds ×1 balls, die 5 adds ×5 balls. The faces cycle in order (1 → 2 → … → 6 → 1 for red, up to 8 for blue) and each die cycles faster than the last, so timing is the skill: the last die is the most valuable and the hardest to hit. Nothing is picked for you — a die spins until you tap.

Phase 2 — The drop

A portal sweeps left and right across the top of the board at 860 px/s; tap to stop it where you want to drop. Your balls then stream out lowest value first (a crescendo) and each one random-walks 8 peg rows, shifting half a bin per row, into one of 9 bins.

The bins always hold the same set — ×1 · ×1 · ×2 · ×2 · ×3 · ×5 · ×5 · ×10 · ×20 — shuffled for every bonus. The ×20 and ×10 bins are never side by side, and the ×20 never sits in the same slot two bonuses in a row.

Per ball

round(ball value × bin multiplier × 0.8) balls for red, × 1.28 for blue

Best single ball

×5 ball in the ×20 bin = 80 (red) / 128 (blue) balls

Aim

with 8 rows of ±½-bin drift a ball lands within one bin of your drop point about 71.1% of the time

What a run pays

Every ball's payout is added into a pending pot and the summary screen's CLAIM pays it into your launch balls. Claim before starting anything else: arming a new run forfeits an unclaimed pot. A run you abandon is auto-resolved after 15m (remaining dice rolled at random, a centre drop) and still banked.

"Ball-units" below is the sum of every ball's multiplier — 10 base + die faces × their multipliers. "Typical" assumes average dice and a perfect drop on the best spot of the layout (expected bin multiplier ≈ ×9.36, computed over every legal layout).

Colour	Ball value	Ball-units (min / average / max)	Typical run	Maximum possible
Red	0.8	25 / 62.5 / 100	≈ 468 balls	1,600 balls
Blue	1.28	25 / 77.5 / 130	≈ 929 balls	3,328 balls

Carnival Phoenix runs

An equipped Carnival Phoenix changes red runs only:

• 2★ Extra Balls — +10 extra ×1 balls seeded into every run (20 base instead of 10).
• 3★ Blazing Bin — one ×1 bin becomes a ×50 bin. With perfect aim the expected bin multiplier rises to ≈ ×21.37, a typical run to ≈ 1,240 balls, and the maximum to 4,400.

Tips

• Dice 1 and 2 are slow enough to hit on purpose — always aim for a 6. Dice 4 and 5 are near-random for most players, but a lucky high face there is worth the most.
• Watch the layout before you drop: the ×20 bin moves every bonus, and the ×20/×10 pair is guaranteed not to be adjacent, so there's always one clear best spot.
• Ruby-bin dice are the best dice in the game: 1 in 3 rolls a 6. Farming Ruby landings farms bonus entries.
• The 3-per-colour cap is the real limiter, not the drop rate — spare dice are never wasted, they just wait for tomorrow.
