🎮4. Core Game Mechanics

🎮 From gameplay → to points → to power — every action matters.

4.1 Integrated Gameplay and Incentive Design

In traditional lotteries, gameplay ends after a simple bet.

In Lucky45, gameplay is just the entry point — every action triggers further incentive paths:

betting → Luck Points accumulation → card draws → leaderboard ranking → future governance power.

Each module is designed to balance:

• Short-Term Thrill

• Mid-Term Incentives

• Long-Term Value Accumulation

Game Type	Short-Term Feedback	Mid-Term Path	Long-Term Value
🎯 Challenge Draw	Big jackpot excitement	Earn Luck Points; build team points	Permanent contribution records; rights binding
⏱ Fast Draw	Quick frequent wins	Fast daily Luck Point gain; daily missions	Behavior tracking; user labeling
🎫 Scratch Cards	Instant reveal gratification	Bulk card opens; retry chances	Luck Points accumulation + NFT ticket triggers
🧧 Card Collection	Card drops on Luck Points use	Collect full Zodiac sets for jackpot	NFTs, future voting rights, prestige assets
🧠 Team System	Social bonuses	Compounded team growth and earnings	Social graphs + permanent leaderboard rankings

4.3 Team System: Viral Growth + Long-Term Binding

The Team Mechanism is Luck45’s social growth engine — not just referral, but structural social capital.

⚙️ How It Works

• Every user binds to an invite code at signup (non-changeable).

• Invitees become part of an expanding team.

• Betting by any team member generates:

  • Luck Points flow up

  • USDT commission rewards flow up

  • Team ranking points aggregate

• Team size and activity determine leaderboard standings, access to bonus pools, and prestige titles.

🧠 Team Growth Flywheel

User → Invite → Points → Rewards → Higher Rankings → More FOMO → Viral Spread

✅ Designed to create deep social binding and self-reinforcing growth loops.
