Quick answer
What Is Pase de Salida in Domino?
Pase de salida is an opening-pass bonus at Dominican tables: the player after the opener cannot play, and the opener's pair collects. It pays 25 or 30, depending on the table. FichaFlow starts it at 25.
You drop the opening tile and the very next player has no answer. That is pase de salida. FichaFlow starts the bonus at 25, but the table should settle the value and exceptions before the first hand.
01.
The opening-pass example
The player who puts down the first tile is la mano. You open with 6-6. The next player holds no six and passes. With the bonus at 25, FichaFlow credits your team 25 immediately by default (at a table that waits for your partner, once your partner answers). A pass later in the hand is not pase de salida.
02.
Agree on exceptions
Wikipedia en español describes the bonus as cancelled if the opener's partner cannot play either. By default FichaFlow pays the first opening pass at once and does not cancel it if the opener's partner passes later; a table can turn that cancellation on in its rules, so agree on your table's version before the first hand.
03.
Why 25 is not a fixed rule
The table sets the value: 25 or 30. A Dominican rules site says it normally pays 25, and Wikipedia en español says 25 or 30. The 2019 Santiago tournament's published rules paid 25. DR1, an expat guide, gives 10 in games to 200 or 250 and 25 in games to 500.
In FichaFlow you can set any value, or 0 to turn it off.

Questions from the table
Is every pass worth 25?
No. This bonus only covers the first opposing pass right after the opening tile, and only when your table gives it a value.
What should be agreed before play?
Confirm which bonuses apply and their values. Published rulesets can use different conditions.
