Cash out earlier. The success chance is higher. The base EV is not.
A Dragon Tower challenge with no Dragon Tower on the floor has been reported after the patch that was meant to stop impossible challenges. Treat spawn reports as version-sensitive.

At this packaged model every cash-out floor has about the same 1.0 gross EV. Climbing changes variance and payout size, not the base return.
How Dragon Tower works
- The tower has 6 floors.
- Each floor offers 4 choices.
- 3 choices are safe and 1 fails the climb.
- Cash out after a safe floor, or push the next one.
4 choices, 3 safe, 1 bad. Safe probability per floor: 75.00%.
step <= 0 ? 1 : estimatedValue / pow(0.75, step)
At the packaged EstimatedValue of 1, the cash-out is 1 / 0.75 raised to the safe floor.
Odds and multiplier table
Exact packaged climb modelReach chance is from the start of the climb. The multiplier is the packaged cash-out if you stop on that floor.
| Safe floors | Reach chance | Cash-out | Gross EV |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 75.00% | 1.333× | 1.0 |
| 2 | 56.25% | 1.778× | 1.0 |
| 3 | 42.19% | 2.370× | 1.0 |
| 4 | 31.64% | 3.160× | 1.0 |
| 5 | 23.73% | 4.214× | 1.0 |
| 6 | 17.80% | 5.619× | 1.0 |
Every row is about 1.0 gross EV. A higher multiplier is the same base return with more variance.
Should I push or cash out?
Higher floor = higher variance, not higher packaged base EV.
The useful stop depends on the goal. There is no single best floor.
Bigger single payout
Push higher and accept a lower chance of finishing the climb.
Flameproof
The challenge sets the floor. Stop the moment the final payout is at least 3×.
Step Into Fire
You want the loss. Do not cash out.

Steam: Win at least "3x" 3 times in a row on Dragon Tower on Floor 4.
Same name. The Challenge and the Steam unlock are separate checks.
With no payout buff, floor 3 pays 2.370× and does not qualify. Floor 4 is the first at or above 3×. One attempt is 31.64%. Three in a row is 3.17%, or ~44.7 attempts.
Catalog snapshot: Step Into Fire 7.6%, Flameproof 2.6%. Flameproof is the rarer of the two in that snapshot.
Cash out as soon as the qualifying floor is safe. Another floor does not make the win count more, and it can break the streak.
| Positive-profit factor | Safe floors needed | One win | Attempts for 3 in a row |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1× | 4 floors | 31.64% | ~44.7 |
| 1.5× | 3 floors | 42.19% | ~21.3 |
| 2× | 3 floors | 42.19% | ~21.3 |
| 4× | 2 floors | 56.25% | ~10.6 |
| 6× | 1 floor | 75.00% | ~5.5 |
The check reads the final payout, so a stronger profit buff qualifies on a lower floor. Stop there.
The attempt counts treat each run as an independent attempt. Real RNG and seed state are not part of that model.

For Step Into Fire, keep pushing until the tower defeats you. Cashing out a safe climb spends the attempt on a win.
Clearing all 6 floors from the start happens about 17.80% of the time, so a full push fails about 82.20% of the time.

A waiting average is not a guarantee.
If each full push is its own attempt, a 4-loss streak takes about ~6.7 attempts on average.
Bet at least the qualifying amount, then push every floor. Do not cash out a safe run.
The single-round loss chance is exact. The waiting average treats every full push as an independent attempt.
Losing, but the challenge is not counting?
A lost climb only counts when the game registers that bet as a loss.
Will this result still count as a loss?
- Was the bet at least the current quota × 5%?
- Was it one qualifying registered bet, not a stack of smaller bets?
- Did Dragon Tower register the result as a loss?
- Did Insurance or Holy Statue fully cancel the loss? A partial refund can still be a loss if the payout stays below the wager. Full protection can stop the loss from counting.
- Did another payout modifier keep the result from being registered as a loss?
Items that change this goal
These matter for the objective on this page. The item pages cover the item itself.
Golden Chip
A golden bet can register a wager and a payout without the usual upfront bankroll cost, which is useful when the goal is a large intentional loss.
Taser
Taser can raise a machine max bet when quota × 5% is above the current table maximum.
Holy Statue
Full protection can stop Step Into Fire from seeing a loss at all. A partial recovery can still register as a loss.

Version-sensitiveReported, and version-sensitive. Being in the floor pool does not mean a table is on this floor.
Floor 3 is 1 of 11 equal entries, about 9.09%. Floor 4 is 1 of 16, about 6.25%.
v1.0.10 said the challenge system was adjusted to avoid impossible challenges. Players still reported a Dragon Tower challenge with no Dragon Tower on any floor after that.
Where Dragon Tower appears
It is part of the floor pool, not a guaranteed table spawn.
| Floor | In pool | Pool share |

| Floor 2 | No | — |
| Floor 3 | Yes | 1 of 11, about 9.09% |
| Floor 4 | Yes | 1 of 16, about 6.25% |
Step Into Fire is the Floor 3 check. Flameproof is the Floor 4 check. That matches where the game can offer the table.
Does Dragon Tower repeat after reload?
Save and reload behavior can depend on RNG state and the order of actions. Do not treat a remembered safe path as a verified Dragon Tower rule.
Packaged model
Cash-out multiplier after the first safe step:
step <= 0 ? 1 : estimatedValue / pow(0.75, step)
Packaged model: gross EV = 1 at every normal cash-out. Floor 6 paying 5.619× does not make floor 6 more profitable before buffs.
EstimatedValue is a runtime-overridable field. It scales the cash-out linearly for every step above 0. This page does not treat Dragon Tower as a permanent 100% RTP game.
Dragon Tower myths
MythA higher floor has a higher EV
No. Every packaged cash-out is about 1.0 gross EV.
MythFloor 6 is the best money
No. 5.619× is the largest standard cash-out multiplier, not the highest expected money.
MythOne choice is inherently safer
Not verified. Each floor offers 3 safe and 1 bad option with no position bias in the closed model.
MythRemembering yesterday's path guarantees a safe climb
No. A remembered route is not a verified Dragon Tower rule.
MythFlameproof should push past 3×
No. Cash out the moment the final payout qualifies.
MythStep Into Fire should cash out
No. The challenge wants a loss, so push until the tower defeats you.

Dragon Tower FAQ
How does Dragon Tower work?
Six floors. Each floor has 4 choices, 3 safe and 1 bad, so each new floor is a 75% safe pick. The packaged cash-out is 1 / 0.75 raised to the number of safe floors.
How many floors does Dragon Tower have?
6. You can cash out after any safe floor, or keep climbing. Floor 6 is the top.
What are the odds on each Dragon Tower floor?
From the start, the chance of still being alive is 75.00%, 56.25%, 42.19%, 31.64%, 23.73% and 17.80% on floors 1 through 6. Each individual floor is still 75% safe and 25% bad.
Is every Dragon Tower choice 75% safe?
Yes. The serialized floor data has 4 choices per floor and 1 failure option, so the packaged next-step survival is exactly 75% at every floor.
What multiplier do you get on each floor?
At the packaged model: 1.333×, 1.778×, 2.370×, 3.160×, 4.214× and 5.619×. Each of those stops has about 1.0 gross EV.
What is the best Dragon Tower cash-out floor?
None, if the question is base EV. Every packaged cash-out is about a fair 1.0. Cash out earlier to lower variance, or climb for a larger single payout. Flameproof and Step Into Fire follow their own rules.
Is Floor 6 more profitable?
No. Floor 6 pays the largest standard cash-out multiplier, 5.619×, but it also has the lowest reach chance, 17.80%. The packaged base EV is still about 1.0.
Why does every floor have the same base EV?
The multiplier is 1 / 0.75 raised to the safe floor, which is the reciprocal of the reach chance. Reach chance times payout stays at about 1 at every normal cash-out.
Should I push or cash out?
Push only when a larger payout is the goal and you accept the lower finish chance. Cash out when the current payout already meets a Challenge or quota target.
What is the chance of clearing all six floors?
About 17.80%, which is 0.75^6. That is one exact single-climb figure, not a cross-round average.
How do I complete Step Into Fire?
On Floor 3, lose 4 Dragon Tower rounds in a row. Use a qualifying bet and keep pushing until the tower beats you. The reward is 14 Tickets. Do not cash out a safe climb.
How much do I need to bet for Step Into Fire?
At least the current quota × 5%, on one registered bet. It is not a permanent $650M. $650M is 5% of a $13B quota.
What happens if I clear all six floors during Step Into Fire?
That round was a win, so it does not advance the loss streak. Cashing out a safe climb has the same effect. Keep pushing until the tower defeats you.
What is the chance of losing a full push?
About 82.20%, which is 1 − 0.75^6. This is the exact single-round chance that at least one of the six floors fails.
How long does a 4-loss streak take?
If each full push is treated as an independent attempt, the modeled waiting average is about 6.7 full-push attempts. That is not a guarantee, just an average.
Does Insurance stop Step Into Fire progress?
A partial refund can still register as a loss. Full protection can stop the result from being registered as a loss, so always confirm the final settlement.
Does Holy Statue stop a Dragon Tower loss?
Full protection can turn a loss into a Neutral result, and a Neutral result does not advance a loss streak. Partial recovery can still leave a loss.
Does Taser help Step Into Fire?
Yes, indirectly. When quota × 5% is above the table maximum, Taser can raise the effective max bet so a qualifying wager becomes possible.
Does Golden Chip help Step Into Fire?
It can register a qualifying wager without the usual upfront bankroll cost. It changes the cost and size of the wager, not the chance the tower fails.
How do I complete Flameproof?
On Floor 4, win Dragon Tower 3 times in a row with a final payout of at least 3×. The reward is 17 Tickets. Cash out as soon as a win qualifies.
How many floors do I need for 3×?
With no payout buff, floor 3 is 2.370× and does not qualify. Floor 4 is 3.160× and is the first that does. That attempt succeeds about 31.64% of the time. Three in a row is about 3.17%, or roughly 44.7 attempts.
Do payout buffs help Flameproof?
Yes. The check is the final payout. A 2× profit factor can qualify on floor 3, 4× on floor 2, and 6× on floor 1. Stop at that floor. Climbing further only adds fail risk.
Why should I cash out immediately after qualifying for Flameproof?
The challenge only needs a final 3×. Another floor does not make the win count more and it can break the streak, so cash out as soon as the qualifying floor is safe.
Why isn't Step Into Fire counting my losses?
Check the bet size, that it was one registered Dragon Tower bet, and that the result was stored as a loss. Full insurance, Holy Statue, or another modifier that erases the loss will not count. A cash-out is a win.
Why can't I find Dragon Tower?
It is only in the Floor 3 and Floor 4 pools, at about 9.09% and 6.25% of those equal-weight entries. Available does not mean a table spawned. Missing Dragon Tower on a challenge floor has been reported after v1.0.10 and should be treated as version-sensitive.
Why isn't Dragon Tower on Floor 2?
It has not unlocked there. Dragon Tower first appears on Floor 3, so it is not in the Floor 2 pool at all.
Can I memorize the safe path?
No verified position has a better base chance. Each floor offers 3 safe and 1 bad option, and the closed model does not assign different odds to a position.
Can you save scum Dragon Tower?
Do not assume a reload repeats the safe path. That behavior depends on RNG state and what you did before the reload. Use the Save and Seed guide before relying on route memory.
