Hit the Jackpot 3 is completely free, browsed-based, massive multiplayer online (MMO) 3D flash game.
You compete with other players in archery tournaments, gain ranking points and make your country be proud of you!
There are three tournament types:
Regional: tournament from your neighborhood. Everyone can join regional tournaments. Our game tries to find opponents closest to your real location.
Continental: only players from specific continent can join. They also must be high enough in continental ranking to participate.
Worldwide: the most important of all tournaments. Only players with highest ranking places are able to join.
Game checks your IP during registration. With your and other peoples IPs we can choose tournament that is closest to your city.
Sometimes you can play in tournament which is far away from your location. That's because there were no close tournaments available.
Ranking points are counted individually for each closed tournament. It is a simple equation:

TournamentImportance - factor which depends on tournament type
PointsPerPlace - constant number of points for particular place
Importance for different tournament types:
Regional - 1
Continental - 10
Worldwide - 50
Points for each place:
1 - 25 points
2 - 18 points
3 - 15 points
4 - 12 points
5 - 10 points
6 - 8 points
7 - 6 points
8 - 4 points
9 - 2 points
10 - 1 point
11 or higher - 0 points
Yes, because old tournaments are not counted into current rank. You must win tournaments and soon you can be first on ranks!
You can use stars to buy upgrades. There are three upgrade types avaiable:
Bow upgrade - reduces shaking, making aiming easier
Strength upgrade - decreases growth of shaking during long aiming, making it easier
Arrow update - decreases wind impact, making aiming easier
You gain ranking points and stars only if tournament ends and ranks update takes place.
Ranks are updated every half an hour.
New continental/world tournaments will be automatically created when current end.
You can always play in regional tournaments.
Regional tournaments end when number of players reaches its minimum number
Continental tournaments end when enough people plays in it (depends on overal number of active players) or tournament length passes its maximum time
World tournaments end when enough people plays in it (depends on overal number of active players) or tournament length passes its maximum time
Wind can change direction of arrow's flight.
It can modify it in any direction (left/right/up/down). The amount of change depends on wind speed and your arrows level.
In-game wind indicator shows current direction and strength of wind.
The more tired you are, the harder aiming becomes.
With high fatigue level bow shakes become very strong, so try to shoot just after aiming.
You can reduce fatigue rise speed by upgradeing your strength.
In-game fatigue indicator shows you current level of tiredness.
Current rank is based on current tournaments. Old tournaments are deleted and so are ranking points connected to them. Post end deletion interval is based on tournament type and is varying from 3 to 9 days (regional / world).
To stay with high rank you have to participate in new tournaments.
