World 1 · Classic
World 1 · Classic: its bins, launch odds, portals, Classic's own mechanics, the lock to the next world and the pets in its claw machine.
Overview
The carnival board every player starts on: 4 Grey, 3 Bronze, 3 Silver, 3 Gold, 2 Emerald, 2 Ruby and a single Diamond bin, with all four portal slimes running above the pegs. Nothing here is aimed: a launch is only ever pointed at Grey, Bronze or Silver, and it is portals that carry a ball to the rich side.
The board
Eighteen bins across the bottom, tiered left to right. Classic lays them out like this:
| Aimed at | Chance per launch |
|---|---|
 Grey | 70% |
 Bronze | 27.7% |
 Silver | 2.34% |
| Bin | Per launch |
|---|---|
| Grey | 56.1% (1 in 1.78) |
| Bronze | 34% (1 in 2.94) |
| Silver | 7.94% (1 in 12.6) |
 Gold | 1.56% (1 in 64.3) |
 Emerald | 0.37% (1 in 270) |
 Ruby | 0.0648% (1 in 1,543) |
 Diamond | 0.0014% (1 in 69,413) |
Shares and landing odds assume both bonus dice are unlocked — the same basis as Bucket Rates.
Portals
A landing in a Grey, Bronze, Silver or Gold bin can roll a portal instead of a reward. The ball is pulled up to the next slime along the top of the board and dropped again on that slime's richer table — each re-drop can portal again. Portal share on this world is capped at 40% of a bin's roll however many portal buffs you stack. Emerald, Ruby and Diamond bins never portal.
| Landing bin | Portal chance | Warps to | Re-drop is aimed at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grey | 25% | Bronze portal | Grey 25.4% · Bronze 72.7% · Silver 2% |
| Bronze | 30% | Silver portal | Grey 0.2% · Bronze 49.8% · Silver 48% · Gold 2% |
| Silver | 30.3% | Gold portal | Bronze 2% · Silver 48% · Gold 48% · Emerald 2% |
| Gold | 32.2% | Emerald portal | Silver 2% · Gold 48% · Emerald 41% · Ruby 8.8% · Diamond 0.2% |
The Emerald portal's table is the only place Ruby and Diamond weight lives — a launch reaches Diamond about 1 in 69,413 on this board before pets and buffs. A ball rigged for Diamond falls in slow motion with a cyan trail, chips the lock ×20, then opens Jackpot Frenzy.
Bins and rewards
| Bin | On the strip |  Coins |  Gold balls |  Gems |  Balls |  Portal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grey | 4 | 100 (41.7%) | ×2 (33.3%) | — | — | 25% |
| Bronze | 3 | 200 (37.9%) | ×5 (32.1%) | — | — | 30% |
| Silver | 3 | 300 (40.3%) | ×10 (13.4%) | — | +2 (16%) | 30.3% |
| Gold | 3 | 600 (29.4%) | ×20 (11.3%) | 2 (10.3%) | +4 (16.7%) | 32.2% |
| Emerald | 2 | 1,200 (43.9%) | ×30 (23.2%) | 4 (12.9%) | +6 (19.6%) | — |
| Ruby | 2 | 2,000 (31.9%) | ×50 (16.7%) | 6 (13.9%) | +8 (36.8%) | — |
| Diamond | 1 | Opens Jackpot Frenzy — floor 50,000 coins · 1,000 gold balls · 125 gems · 125 balls |
Coins are the base payout before your pet, ARCADE Coin Gain and Marquee multipliers. The percentage is that reward's share of the bin's roll. On top of the roll, Silver and better bins independently drop sticker packs and time candy, dice slots open with the Bonus Map, and a landing can drop a pet card at 1 in 20 here — every rate is on Bucket Rates.
What makes Classic tick
- The plain ladder: coins 100 to 2,000 a landing, gems 2 / 4 / 6 from Gold / Emerald / Ruby, and balls back from Silver up (+2 / +4 / +6 / +8) — the best ball income of the live worlds.
- Pet cards drop most often here (1 in 20 per landing) and the claw machine is cheapest (200 gems).
- Every 200 portal triggers fill the portal meter and spin the Bonus Wheel (needs the Marquee's Portal Meter row).
- Portal-chance pets and items — the Lucky Rabbit, Portal Compasses, the Marquee's portal rows — all do their best work here.

Pets available here
The claw machine you stand in front of is Classic's: one pull costs 200 gems and rolls one of these 8 pets at the base odds shown. Pet Score and rare-luck buffs push the rare tiers up — see Claw Odds. A guaranteed mythic lands on your 400th non-mythic pull in each world.
Tips
- Stack portal chance before anything else: every extra warp is another roll on a richer table.
- The Dragon Hatchling's gold balls and the Charm Octopus are World 1 claw pets — Classic is where the long-term pet core is built.
- Break the World 2 lock early (25,000 HP is the smallest of the ladder) — it also adds a 4th pet slot.
