F083 — Skill-based Bonus Rounds

​
Business Rule

Occasionally during gameplay, the player is offered a Bonus Round. Bonus rounds are:
  • Skill-based — the player’s decisions influence the outcome (not pure RNG)
  • Themed on the main game — use Texas HoldEm mechanics as their foundation
  • Triggered by operator-configured events — trigger conditions are set at installation (see F032)
  • Variety mechanism — add gameplay variety and give players an incentive to continue playing
Bonus rounds are optional — the operator can disable them at installation.

Source: Game Concept Document

“Occasionally, during game play, the player will be offered a ‘Bonus-Round’ to play; these bonus rounds are based on the main game and are typically skill-based. The bonus games add variety and give the player an incentive to stay at the table for longer.”
“Configurable ‘Jackpot’ and ‘Bonus’ round trigger events: Hedge’Em has multiple operator-configurable mechanisms to trigger the ‘Jackpot’ and ‘Bonus’ rounds.”
“Know your stuff? - Then earn your rewards in the skill-based Bonus Rounds.”
“It has skill-based bonus rounds based on the main game.” (Listed as a unique selling point)
“have bonus rounds and progressive jackpots” (Listed as a competitive differentiator)

​
Design (To Be Specified)

The following design details are not yet defined — they require specification by Qeetoto before implementation:
  • What are the available bonus round types?
  • What decisions does the player make during a bonus round?
  • How is “skill” evaluated and rewarded?
  • What is the payout structure for bonus rounds?
  • What are the valid trigger events (e.g. N consecutive losses, specific hand outcome, time-based)?
  • Does a bonus round replace the main game or play out alongside it?
  • Can the player decline a bonus round offer?

​
Competitive Significance

The game concept document lists skill-based bonus rounds as both a key feature and a unique selling point that differentiates HedgeEm from competitors:
“There are similar games in the market, but none that… have bonus rounds and progressive jackpots”
