What is the Smart Settlement feature? Smart Settlement is PartyPot's debt simplification algorithm. When your game ends, it calculates the minimum number of transfers needed to clear all debts between players. For example, if 6 players have complex cross-debts, Smart Settlement might reduce it to just 3-4 simple transfers instead of 15.

Detailed Answer
Smart Settlement is PartyPot's signature feature — an algorithm that simplifies complex debt networks into the minimum number of transfers.
The problem it solves:
After a 4-hour Mahjong session with 4 players, you might have 30+ transactions. Manually figuring out "who owes whom" is a nightmare of mental math. Smart Settlement does it instantly.
How it works:
1. When the game ends, tap "End Session"
2. Smart Settlement analyzes all balances
3. It calculates the minimum number of transfers to settle everyone to zero
4. Each player sees exactly who they need to pay (or collect from) and how much
Example:
Smart Settlement result:
Instead of potentially 6 cross-payments, you get 3 simple transfers.
For larger groups: With 8-10 players, the savings are even more dramatic. What could be 20+ confusing cross-payments gets reduced to 5-7 simple transfers.
Accuracy: The algorithm is mathematically guaranteed to produce the minimum number of transfers. No rounding errors, no mistakes.
