Scoring and Settlement Rules
The reward is determined by the maximum nonzero codeword Hamming weight minus the minimum nonzero codeword weight. If the code contains only zeros, the reward is zero. The live gross quote is calculated as 0.97 times the conditional expected terminal reward, divided by its initial expected reward. This quote may rise or fall during the round.
A zero quote ends the round immediately. A positive final quote settles automatically. Manual collection is available after the first reveal. Auto thresholds (1.2, 2, 3, or 5) collect the actual full first-crossing quote. If a threshold is unreachable, the system waits for the terminal result. The 3% opening deduction appears only once in the quote. Every policy using only revealed information has a 97% expected gross return.
Controls and Modes
The demo supports one active stake with options for 10, 20, 50, or 100 coins. Settings and refill locks are active during play. The interface allows manual collection after the first reveal. Auto-collection thresholds are set to 1.2, 2, 3, or 5. The auto feature settles the actual full first-crossing quote, and an unreachable threshold waits for the terminal result.
Wallet and Balance Management
The initial balance is 1000 virtual coins. If the idle balance drops below 10, it may be manually restored to exactly 1000, with fractional change preserved. This restoration is a manual idle-only action, not an automatic replenishment. Fractional carry persists through settlement, manual refill, and reload. The settled balance includes zero and persists locally.
Reload and Unfinished Rounds
Reloading the page does not refund an unfinished round. An unfinished round ends without refund or resume upon reload. The game does not support resuming all progress or rounds across sessions unless specifically settled. Local counters do not imply network-synchronised accounts or cash withdrawal capabilities.
Privacy and Data Storage
The game source uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. Template declarations include Google Fonts stylesheet requests. Clearing cached files may leave local storage if that storage is actually used. The absence of account controls does not prove no personal data is processed.
Responsible Use and Audience
This guide targets an 18+ audience as an intended demographic, not a universal legal age or implemented age gate. The demo uses virtual coins with no cash value. Responsible-use pages may describe optional pauses, personal time/virtual-coin limits, and finding appropriate local qualified help. The demo does not clinically train behaviour or make losses safe.
Frequently asked questions
How is the reward calculated?
The reward is the maximum nonzero codeword Hamming weight minus the minimum nonzero codeword weight. The zero-only code rewards zero.
What happens if the quote hits zero?
A zero quote ends the round immediately.
How do auto thresholds work?
Auto thresholds (1.2, 2, 3, or 5) collect the actual full first-crossing quote. If a threshold is unreachable, the system waits for the terminal result.
When can I collect manually?
Manual collection is available after the first reveal.
What is the expected gross return?
Every policy using only revealed information has a 97% expected gross return.
How is the balance restored?
If the idle balance is below 10, it may be manually restored to exactly 1000, with fractional change preserved.
Does reloading refund an unfinished round?
No, an unfinished round ends without refund or resume upon reload.
Is there an account login?
No, the demo has no account-login flow.
What data is stored locally?
The game source uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry.
What are the stake options?
One active stake with options for 10, 20, 50, or 100 coins.
Is the age gate universal?
No, 18+ is the guide's intended audience policy, not a universal legal age or implemented age gate.
Do virtual coins have cash value?
No, virtual coins have no cash value.
