Choose a stake and press Start Burger. Chef Mario puts down the bottom bun, then you add ingredients one at a time. Every ingredient that lands without the stack falling raises the burger's value.
Sell at any time after the first ingredient: a customer buys the burger for stake × current multiplier.
20 ingredients in a fixed order, from x1.15 up to a x1,000 Legendary Burger, which sells automatically.
Safety nets: every 4th ingredient (4, 8, 12, 16) locks in 50% of the burger's value at that point. If the burger falls later, you are paid the most recently secured safety net instead of losing everything. The net is a minimum payout after a fall, not an extra on top of a sale. Each new net replaces the previous one.
Pick any ingredient each turn. Its multiplier is applied to the current burger value. Bigger multipliers are harder to balance, and each ingredient is in limited supply. The plate holds 12 ingredients and the maximum win is x5,000; either one sells the burger automatically. There are no safety nets in this mode: if it falls, the stake is lost.
The first ingredient of a Chef's Choice burger carries a slightly higher drop risk. After that, the drop risk for every ingredient is 1 − 1/multiplier.
Chef's Rescue returns 96% of stakes and Chef's Choice returns 97%, whatever ingredients you pick and whenever you sell (the safety nets are already included in the Classic figure). Every drop is decided by a random number generator before the ingredient is thrown; the wobble only plays that result out.
