Arcade Level
The player level: how the ARCADE machine turns coins into candy, the full level curve to 100 and beyond, the star / ball power / Coin Gain reward bubbles, stakes and every milestone.
Overview
Your Arcade Level is the game’s player level. There is one ladder and one way up it: shooting the ARCADE machine. Each shot costs coins, scores candy, and candy fills the level bar. Balls dropped on the plinko board do not give experience — the board earns the coins, the Arcade turns them into levels.
Every level carries exactly one reward bubble, and the bubbles cycle through the three stats that drive everything else: a Marquee star (your Renown), ball power against the next world’s lock, and Coin Gain. The level has no cap — trophies go up to level 1,000 — and it is shown on your profile and as the ARCADE column of the leaderboards.
Earning candy
A pinball lands in one of five bins. The four outer bins pay candy; the narrow centre bin is the ★ door: most of the time it deals a candy card, otherwise it starts a MEGA WIN — the BALL RUSH catch game.
| Bin | Chance | Pays |
|---|---|---|
| Left 1 | 26.1% (1 in 3.84) | 10 × stake |
| Left 2 | 22.8% (1 in 4.38) | 20 × stake |
| ★ Centre | 1.77% (1 in 56.5) | Door card (65%) or MEGA WIN / BALL RUSH (35%) |
| Right 2 | 22.8% (1 in 4.38) | 20 × stake |
| Right 1 | 26.5% (1 in 3.78) | 10 × stake |
Door cards
The reveal always starts on card 1; each upgrade step hits with a 25% chance.
| Card | Chance | Candy |
|---|---|---|
| Card 1 | 75% (1 in 1.33) | 1,000 × stake |
| Card 2 | 18.8% (1 in 5.33) | 2,000 × stake |
| Card 3 | 6.25% (1 in 16) | 4,000 × stake |
Expected candy
Averaged over every outcome, one ×1 launch scores about 30.2 candy before boosts (14.4 from the bins, 15.8 from door cards) — roughly 33 coins per candy.
Candy boosts
- Candy Boost — the Marquee’s "+10% Candy Boost" rows sum to +100% by the top of the ladder; pet cards with a Candy Boost stat add to the same percentage.
- Card Candy — the Marquee’s "+500 Card Candy" rows add a flat +5,000 candy to every door card by the top of the ladder.
- Vinnie’s Bonuses — the Ticket Trove’s pinball candy bonus multiplies all candy.
Bandit Raccoon — its Sweet Tooth ability fattens door cards.
Stakes
The stake chip (unlocked at Marquee milestone 1 (1★)) multiplies the cost and the candy of every shot, so candy per coin is identical at every stake — higher stakes only level you faster per minute. Stakes above ×2 require you to be holding 80 launches’ worth of coins, checked live: drop below the line and the stake locks again. Stake also gates the rarest pet item drops in BALL RUSH — legendary items need ×10 or more, mythic ×100.
| Stake | Coins per launch | Outer / inner bin candy | Door card candy | Coins you must hold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ×1 |  1,000 | 10 / 20 | 1,000 – 4,000 | always available |
| ×2 | 2,000 | 20 / 40 | 2,000 – 8,000 | always available |
| ×3 | 3,000 | 30 / 60 | 3,000 – 12,000 | 240,000 |
| ×5 | 5,000 | 50 / 100 | 5,000 – 20,000 | 400,000 |
| ×10 | 10,000 | 100 / 200 | 10,000 – 40,000 | 800,000 |
| ×20 | 20,000 | 200 / 400 | 20,000 – 80,000 | 1,600,000 |
| ×40 | 40,000 | 400 / 800 | 40,000 – 160,000 | 3,200,000 |
| ×60 | 60,000 | 600 / 1,200 | 60,000 – 240,000 | 4,800,000 |
| ×100 | 100,000 | 1,000 / 2,000 | 100,000 – 400,000 | 8,000,000 |
| ×200 | 200,000 | 2,000 / 4,000 | 200,000 – 800,000 | 16,000,000 |
Reward bubbles
Each level bar has one bubble, sitting at 40% of the bar. Bubbles are handed out in a fixed cycle — star, ball power, Coin Gain — so every three levels give you one of each. Because the first bubble is a star, your first Marquee star arrives at level 1 once you have 304 candy.
Marquee star- +1 Renown — one rung up the Marquee. Star k lands at Arcade level 1, 4, 7, … (level 3k − 2).
Ball power- +1 damage per ball against the next world’s lock. Lock damage comes only from these bubbles.
- Coin Gain
- +1% to every coin you earn, permanently — it also raises what Shop coin packs pay you.
Stat totals by level
| Arcade level | Marquee stars | Ball power | Coin Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 0 | +0% |
| 3 | 1 | 1 | +1% |
| 10 | 4 | 3 | +3% |
| 25 | 9 | 8 | +8% |
| 50 | 17 | 17 | +16% |
| 100 | 34 | 33 | +33% |
| 250 | 84 | 83 | +83% |
| 500 | 167 | 167 | +166% |
| 1,000 | 334 | 333 | +333% |
Totals assume the level’s own bubble has been collected (40% into the bar).
Level curve
Candy needed to clear a level grows in segments: a straight ramp for the first five levels, a gentler line to level 19, a power curve to level 100 and a much steeper one beyond. The Bubble column is the candy at which that level’s reward bubble pops; names are the arcade attractions the Arcade Report shows for the first 50 levels.

What each star unlocks
Every feature on the Marquee is gated by a star count, and each star maps to a specific Arcade level. The table lists the feature unlocks; the buff rows (pet inventory, candy boost, ball storage and so on) are on the Marquee page.

Tips
- Candy per coin never changes with stake, so shoot at the highest stake you can hold — but keep a buffer, because falling below the hold line locks the stake mid-session.
- Bubbles pop at 40% of the bar, not at the level-up — you get the reward well before the level clears.
- The Marquee’s Candy Boost rows are the biggest permanent lever on levelling speed; claim them as you cross them.
- Coin Gain compounds with world multipliers and coin pets, so every third level quietly raises your whole income.
