Why this page exists: Cluster-supported mode intent: a player wants the rules of the named update mode.
The official mode definition
The developer identifies Arcade as a faster session format rather than a full rules rewrite. The documented structure is 10 random simulations with random rounds.
Its stated shortcut is the removal of intro and outro segments. That is the confirmed reason to choose it when your group wants a shorter sequence.
What the update does not specify
The patch note does not publish weighting, every eligible simulation, scoring behavior, or a comparison of rewards. This page therefore does not recommend an optimal strategy or promise a specific run length.
