Stacker

Description

Stacker is a quick stop skill game that is simple and fast to play and learn. The player must press the start/stop button to stack the moving blocks on top of each other. Each time the player successfully builds another layer onto the pile of blocks, the next level is progressively harder.

Once the player reaches the Minor prize level, they get to choose between a minor prize or continue to play on for the major prize.

Game Play

This game is based on (as the manufacturer puts it) greed of the player. In the product documentation, they pretty much guarantee that players will skip the minor prize to try to win the major prize. The major prize payout setting is default at difficulty level 8 which translates to 1 win out of 400 attempts. The minor prize payout is about 1:1 ratio, IE you will win minor prize level every time you play, but most people opt to "risk it all" for the bigger prize. Just remember, 1 in 400.
