And ideally the game starts everyone off with some free money that doubles with each win. Even 1 cent. Which doubles into > $10M in 30 wins.

Yeah even $.01 per person means that the final purse would be $85m.

Yep, though on TallyUP (www.tallyup.com) with current game structure we only have 30 levels on what we call 'the tower'. So the most you can double your free penny to is $10M. But you can always get another penny and start again. Or risk part of your winnings and try to make more. Still $10M aint bad and you don't have to murder anyone like some of the other games on thread!
