Game Flow and Exit Selection

Before starting, you must choose one of four exit locks. The stakes available are 10, 25, 50, or 100 coins, with 25 being the default. Once you start, you cannot manually exit or stop the round. The game progresses through successive locks with independent survival probabilities: 80% for the first, 75% for the second, two-thirds for the third, and 50% for the fourth. Failure at any stage returns zero.

Payouts and Settlement

Reaching your chosen exit yields a gross return of 1.2x, 1.6x, 2.4x, or 4.8x for locks one through four respectively. Settlement is automatic upon reaching the exit or the end of the reveal. The stake is deducted once at the start and persists even if the round is unfinished. Gross returns include the original stake. Fractional amounts are calculated in hundredths, with whole coins credited and the remainder kept as a fractional carry.

Wallet and Controls

The demo uses virtual coins with no cash value. You start with a balance of 1000 coins. A manual refill is available only when idle and the balance drops below 10, setting the balance to 1000 rather than adding to it. Controls for stake and start are disabled while the round is active. Reloading the page discards any unfinished round without refund or resumption. The fractional carry is persisted separately from the whole coin balance.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I reload the page during a round?

The unfinished round is discarded without a refund. The stake remains deducted, and you must start a new round.

How are fractional payouts handled?

Payouts are computed in hundredths. The system credits the floor of the whole coins and keeps the remainder as a fractional carry, which is persisted separately.
