For High Score wins (which are quite similar to this), Agora historically went back and forth with respect to how large the reset should be. A full reset has the issue that players who have no chance to win first aren't motivated to maintain a buffer of points / Coins / whatever at all, effectively locking them out of the game until the win occurs (unless they have something else that they can spend them on). Meanwhile, a lack of reset has its own issues, meaning that there's no real interaction between players. The best method of doing things appears to be somewhere in between; a 50% reset historically worked fairly well. (There are other ways to produce a partial reset, too, such as increasing the victory requirement whenever someone wins; IIRC someone suggested that fairly recently.) -- ais523
