It's a race to 100 pts!
You have 4 boxes, and so does your opponent.
Click "PLAY" to start a round. Each round, boxes are randomly assigned a background color and text color.
The side with the most valuable scoring combination receives the corresponding points each round; ties are decided by a tiebreaker.
Use the "MULTIPLY" button to bet on the outcome and win points to beat your opponent.
When the round starts, the multiply button will count down from x5 to x2 as more boxes are shown.
If you click it, any points scored during the round by you or the opponent will be multiplied by the number shown on the button.
If you win the round this will boost your score, but be careful- if you lose this will boost the opponent's score instead!

There are 5 scoring combinations in Rainbow Multi-Match:
Perfect Round: 30 Points
Four Matches: 20 Points
Strict Straight: 10 Points
Loose Straight: 5 Points
More Matches: 1 point per match
Only the highest-scoring combination is payed out each round, so if player 1 has a Strict Straight and player 2 has a Loose Straight, only player 1 scores (10 points).
If 2 players have the same combination or number of matches in a round, a tiebreaker decides who receives the appropriate payout (see Tiebreaker section).

Tiebreaker:
If both sides have the same combination or number of matches, a tiebreaker determines who wins the appropriate payout, or a 1-point payout in the case of 0 combos and 0 matches.
In a tiebreaker, the most numerous color on each side is compared, for example 4 purples will beat 3 greens.
This continues down the list of most numerous colors until a winner is found.
Double Tiebreaker: If a tie remains, colors are compared from right to left, alternating from background color to text color.
The color closest to RED on the spectrum (red-orange-yellow-green-blue-purple) will win. The tie is broken by the first difference found by this comparison method.
If a decision is not reached by the double tiebreaker, both sets of boxes are identical, resulting in a 0-0 tie.
