Hadron

Each reel stops on one quark. A quark has a flavour (the letter) and a colour charge (the ring). Get red, green and blue on the three reels and they hold together. Get the same flavour three times and they hold even better.

Coins per spin

Choose how many coins to use, then press Spin.

Coins 1,000

You decide

How many coins go into a spin. That is all. Once you press Spin, each reel picks a flavour and a colour at random and nothing you do changes it.

What comes back

Line	Chance	Returns
Same flavour, one of each colour	about 1 in 162	40× coins
Same flavour on all three	about 1 in 46	12× coins
Red, green and blue, any flavours	about 1 in 4.7	2× coins
Anything else	about 3 in 4	nothing

Only the best line counts on each spin. Every reel has six flavours and three colours with equal chances, so each of the 18 possible quarks turns up one time in 18.

Why red, green and blue

In real physics, quarks carry a property called colour charge. It has nothing to do with actual colour; physicists just borrowed the words. A proton or a neutron is three quarks whose charges are red, green and blue, and the mix counts as colourless. Nature only lets colourless groups exist on their own, which is why you never see a single quark.

Hadron borrows that rule and nothing else. Coins are fictional and this is entertainment only: they cannot be bought, sold or exchanged for money, goods or anything else, and there are no in-app purchases. If you run out, reset to 1,000 coins for free.
