  • Over 120 companies trade, each with a sector, a rated risk and a price of its own.

  • Prices move every tick on their own, and nobody sets them by hand.

  • Buy and sell straight into the pool, so there is never a wait for someone to take the other side.

  • Standing orders sit on the market and fill while you are gone.

  • The market map shows the whole board at once, and the index tracks it as one number.

  • The wire breaks stories on companies before they land, and not all of them are true.

  • DEVELOPING shows what is coming, the tape shows what actually happened.

  • The book takes bets on whether a story lands, and the winning side splits the losing pot.

  • The rake comes off the losers only, so a winning call never comes back smaller than it went on.

  • Float your own company, name it, pick the ticker and keep a founder's stake.

  • Half of every fee paid on a company stops in its treasury and is swept out to its holders.

  • The vault locks cash for a fixed term at a rate agreed the day you agree it.

  • Longer vault terms pay more per day, and locked money still counts toward your net worth.

  • The desk lends against the shares you hold, with interest running daily.

  • Fall far enough behind at the desk and it sells you out, taking your cash first.

  • Ten tables in the back room: coinflip, dice, slots, roulette, plinko, mines, higher or lower, crash, blackjack and the counter-offer.

  • Every table publishes its own edge and its own numbers, and the only secret is the roll.

  • Walk away from a table mid hand and it pays out what it owed you a week later.

  • A daily draw pays more every day you come back, climbing for thirty days.

  • Three daily contracts and two weekly ones pay for playing the exchange rather than grinding it.

  • New rats pay no fees for their first week and arrive with a position already open.

  • Twenty two awards, from your first trade to ten million in net worth, and how rare each one is is published.

  • Wear any award you have earned as a title beside your name.

  • Leaderboards rank by net worth and by what you gained this week.

  • Seasons freeze the final placing, and a trophy stays on your profile for good.

  • Say something on any company, with what you hold shown next to your name.

  • Twenty seven phosphor tubes to run the screen in, from cold green through to full amber.

  • Text size, readability and interface scale, all separate and all remembered.

  • Eight music beds played by the same chip, each reacting to how busy the board is.

  • Custom cursors, a CRT overlay and a boot sequence worth watching once.
