Provably Fair Plinko on Solana: How Burntrash Guarantees Transparent Gambling

When you're betting SOL on a Plinko game, you need one guarantee above all else: the game isn't rigged.

Traditional online casinos ask you to trust them. Burntrash lets you verify them.

Our Plinko game on Solana is provably fair — every drop, every multiplier, every outcome can be independently verified using cryptographic hashes. No trust required. Just math.

What Does "Provably Fair" Actually Mean?

Provably fair gambling uses cryptographic algorithms to ensure:

The house can't cheat — Outcomes are determined before you bet
Players can verify results — You can check the math yourself

No tampering — Once a bet is placed, the result is locked in
Full transparency — All data needed for verification is public

In traditional online gambling, you place a bet and trust that the Random Number Generator (RNG) is fair. With provably fair systems, you prove it's fair.

How Burntrash's Provably Fair System Works

Here's the step-by-step breakdown of our Plinko implementation:

1. Server Seed Generation

Before any game starts, Burntrash generates a random server seed — a secret value that determines the outcome. This seed is hashed using SHA-256 and shown to you before you place your bet.

Example hash:


Server Seed Hash: a7f3c9d8e1b4f2c6a9d3e8f1b7c2d9e4f6a1b8c3d7e2f9a4b6c1d8e3f7a2b9c4

You see the hash, but not the actual seed. This prevents the house from changing the outcome after you bet.

2. Client Seed Input

You (the player) provide your own client seed — a random value that influences the outcome. This can be anything: a random string, a timestamp, or even your wallet signature.

Why this matters: Even if the house pre-generated the server seed, they can't predict your client seed. The final outcome depends on both seeds combined.

3. Nonce Counter

Each bet gets a unique nonce (a counter that increments with every game). This ensures that even with the same server and client seeds, every game produces a different result.

4. Outcome Calculation

The game combines all three values:


Final Hash = SHA-256(server_seed + client_seed + nonce)

This hash is converted to a number that determines:

Where the Plinko ball lands
Which multiplier you hit (1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x)

Your final payout

5. Post-Game Verification

After the game ends, we reveal the server seed. Now you can:

Hash it yourself and compare it to the pre-game hash
Recalculate the outcome using the server seed, client seed, and nonce

Verify the result matches what you saw on-screen

If the math checks out, the game was fair. If it doesn't, something's wrong.

Why Solana Makes It Even Better

Burntrash runs on Solana, which adds an extra layer of transparency:

1. On-Chain Transactions

Every bet, every payout, every seed hash is recorded on the blockchain. Anyone can audit the game's history by checking the Solana explorer.

2. Instant Verification

Solana's 400ms block times mean you can verify results almost instantly — no waiting for slow blockchain confirmations.

3. Low Fees

Verifying a bet costs fractions of a penny. You can check every single game without breaking the bank.

4. Immutable Records

Once a transaction is on Solana, it's permanent. The house can't delete or alter past game data.

How to Verify a Burntrash Plinko Game Yourself

Let's walk through a real verification example:

Pre-Game Data:

Server Seed Hash: a7f3c9d8e1b4f2c6a9d3e8f1b7c2d9e4f6a1b8c3d7e2f9a4b6c1d8e3f7a2b9c4
Client Seed: player_random_123

Nonce: 42

You place a bet → Ball drops → You hit 10x multiplier

Post-Game Reveal:

Server Seed: secretvalue789

Your verification:

javascript
// 1. Verify the hash matches
const revealedHash = SHA256("secretvalue789");
// Should equal: a7f3c9d8e1b4f2c6a9d3e8f1b7c2d9e4f6a1b8c3d7e2f9a4b6c1d8e3f7a2b9c4// 2. Recalculate the outcome
const finalHash = SHA256("secretvalue789" + "player_random_123" + "42");
const outcome = convertHashToOutcome(finalHash);
// Should equal: 10x multiplier

If both checks pass, the game was provably fair. If they don't, you have cryptographic proof of cheating.

🚀 Instant Results

Solana's speed means no waiting — drop the ball, verify the result, repeat.

The Math Behind the Multipliers

How does the hash determine which peg the ball lands on?

Burntrash uses a binomial distribution to simulate realistic Plinko physics:

The final hash is converted to a decimal between 0 and 1
This value maps to a position on the Plinko board

Positions closer to the center have higher probability (bell curve)
Edge positions (high multipliers) are rarer but possible

Multiplier probabilities:

1x: ~38% chance
2x: ~28% chance

5x: ~18% chance
10x: ~12% chance

25x: ~4% chance

These odds are fixed and verifiable. No hidden house edge adjustments.

Common Provably Fair Questions

Q: Can the house still make money if it's provably fair?

Yes! The game has a built-in house edge (typically 1-2%) reflected in the multiplier probabilities. Over time, the house wins — but you can verify the math to ensure it's fair.

Q: What if I don't trust the hash function?

SHA-256 is the same algorithm securing Bitcoin's $1T+ network. If it's broken, we have bigger problems than Plinko.

Q: Can I change my client seed?

Absolutely! Change it before every game or keep it the same — your choice. Both are equally fair.

Q: What if Burntrash doesn't reveal the server seed?

That would be instant proof of cheating. We publish all seeds on-chain, so hiding one would be publicly visible fraud.

Why Provably Fair Matters in Crypto Gambling

The crypto gambling industry has a trust problem. Too many rug pulls, exit scams, and rigged games.

Provably fair systems solve this by removing trust entirely:

No KYC required → Gamble anonymously
No central authority → Code is law

No black boxes → All math is public
No excuses → If the math doesn't check out, it's fraud

Burntrash embraces this philosophy completely. We're not asking you to trust us. We're proving we're trustworthy.
