About Lucky Encounter
"Lucky Encounters" is an in-app feature that aims to enrich instant-win games for young tech-savvy players, who want more interactivity in the games they play and a greater chance to win by connecting them with other players in proximity, using location data and enabling a collaborative experience that allows them to earn additional incentives for playing.
Time Encounters
Time Encounters are spontaneous events triggered by players in proximity to each other in specific locations like hotels, cafes, and pubs. They are temporary and virtual, but they will last for multiple hours, allowing other players to join in once established. How much players can spend in each event is capped to allow fair competition.
Point System
Point System was used based on a "luck" metric, with more points awarded to players who win more money. Points are fixed and dependent on the position and number of players participating in an event.
League Rankings
Leagues are split into divisions; progressing requires players to reach a monthly threshold. A higher division need fewer games to qualify for the incentives but remaining in a higher division requires continued engagement
