Game Mechanics and Payouts
The game uses four independent tiles, each displaying one of three equally likely shapes. Players count matching adjacent pairs across three seams. Each match returns 0.96x gross. Total returns are 0x, 0.96x, 1.92x, or 2.88x. The expected return is 0.96x per unit wagered.
Stakes and Settlement
Stakes are 10, 25, 50, or 100, with 25 as the default. The stake is deducted once at the start and persists before animation. Gross returns include the stake. Payouts are computed in hundredths, with fractional carry kept separately. Automatic settlement occurs at the chosen exit or end of reveal.
Wallet and Controls
The initial balance is 1000 virtual coins. Manual refill is available only when idle and balance drops below 10, setting the balance to 1000. Reload discards unfinished rounds without refund. Controls disable during active rounds. Whole coins are stored in localStorage.
Frequently asked questions
Does this demo have cash value?
No. The virtual coins have no cash value and no cashier exists in the original demo.
