How is the score calculated?

The game draws 5 independent uniform readings from pockets 0–12. The raw score sums the squared position-index differences for every unordered pair of equal readings. Different values do not contribute; repeated equal values create distinct position pairs.

Examples from the actual game.js pure score function:

  • Order: 0,0,0,0,0 → Raw Score: 50
  • Order: 12,12,12,12,12 → Raw Score: 50
  • Order: 0,1,2,3,4 → Raw Score: 0

What are the ticket modes?

You must preselect one ticket before spinning. The modes are:

  • Lower: Covers the first floor(number of distinct attainable scores / 2) scores.
  • Upper: Covers the rest of the scores.
  • Even: Covers even integer scores.

Tickets can overlap. A matching result returns 0.96 × captured stake × total support / number of winning ordered outcomes. A miss returns zero.

How does Auto and Stop work?

Auto schedules at most ten draws. Stop cancels future draws, but active draws finish settling. The stake, ticket, and refill options remain locked through settlement and the queue. Sound remains available during these processes.

How is the balance restored?

The wallet uses a manual idle-only restoration. When fully idle and the balance is below 10, a manual refill sets the balance to exactly 1000. Fractional carry is preserved during this process.

What happens if I reload the page?

Settled balance persists locally, including zero. However, if you reload during an unfinished draw, it ends without refund or resume. The demo does not support resuming progress from an interrupted session.

Is this a real casino?

No. This is an independent guide demo. The virtual coins have no cash value, there is no deposit or withdrawal, and no account login is required. The data shown here is based on the supplied contract and observed browser storage, not an external operator's ledger.

Frequently asked questions

What is the exact payout formula?

For a selected ticket, the gross is 0 on a miss. Otherwise, it is 0.96 × captured whole stake × total support / number of winning ordered outcomes. All independent draws are uniform thirteen-pocket values 0–12.

Does the demo have an account login?

No. The demo has no account-login flow. Progress is stored locally in the browser's localStorage.

Can I withdraw my virtual coins?

No. The virtual coins have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn. They are reset manually if the balance drops below 10 while idle.

What happens if I stop the auto-play?

Stop cancels future draws in the queue. However, any active draw that has already started will finish settling. The current captured outcome is not refunded early.

Is the fractional carry lost on refill?

No. Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload. Only the main balance is set to 1000 upon manual refill.

Are the math modes fixed?

Yes. The exact winning counts and support are recorded in the math modes. Different tickets can overlap, but their probabilities and RTPs are distinct.

What is the measured RTP for Lower?

The measured RTP for the Lower ticket (mode 0) is approximately 96.009%, based on 1,000,000 rounds. The exact gross RTP is 0.96.

What is the measured RTP for Upper?

The measured RTP for the Upper ticket (mode 1) is approximately 95.867%, based on 1,000,000 rounds. The exact gross RTP is 0.96.

What is the measured RTP for Even?

The measured RTP for the Even ticket (mode 2) is approximately 96.021%, based on 1,000,000 rounds. The exact gross RTP is 0.96.

Is the 18+ rule a legal requirement?
