Published payout odds
CrownCards publishes odds by value band, not per card — and they change with the volatility you pick.
The default distribution. Most weight in the middle bands.
| Pull value | Chance | Share |
|---|---|---|
| $150 – $200 | 25.8% | |
| $200 – $500 | 24.2% | |
| $500 – $600beats price | 16.1% | |
| $600 – $700beats price | 15.5% | |
| $700 – $900beats price | 15.2% | |
| $900 – $10,000beats price | 3.2% | |
| Total | 100% |
- Chance of at least breaking even
- 50%
- Odds of landing in a band whose floor is at or above the $500 pack price.
- Expected value
- $395.80– $834.50
- Low assumes every pull lands at its band floor; high assumes the ceiling.
- House edge (worst case)
- 20.8%
- From the low EV bound — the figure we consider defensible.
Why there's no single EV number: the top band runs from $900 all the way to $10,000. A midpoint across a band that wide would dominate the whole calculation and imply a return above 100%, so we publish the range and lean on the floor instead.
Shifts weight out of the middle bands into Uncommon and Grail — a wider swing both ways.
| Pull value | Chance | Share |

| $150 – $200 | 30.47% | |
| $200 – $500 | 49.45% | |

Collapses to two outcomes: the floor band or Grail. Every pack offering it is exactly 90/10.

Captured 2026-09-15 from CrownCards' own pack screen. Every item on the screen carries the Grail tag — the rarest of its six bands, which on this pack is a 3.2% chance on the Normal setting. So the gallery shows you the top band and nothing else. 1 of these 5 names are cut off by the app itself; they are recorded exactly as displayed rather than completed by us. Across all 23 Top Pulls screens we captured, the headline item lands between 75.6% and 100% of its pack's stated maximum and never above it.
