Game Mechanics: Square Types
The game uses eight fair binary symbols (0 or 1). A round generates an eight-symbol word. The raw score is the sum of the lengths of distinct contiguous values that equal two copies of a nonempty word. A single whole captured stake covers the entire word.
Players choose one of three score powers. The gross payout is calculated as:
| Mode | Formula | Exact Mean |
|---|---|---|
| Power 1 (Score) | 0.96 × stake × raw / 9.328125 | 9.328125 |
| Power 2 (Score²) | 0.96 × stake × raw² / 102.21875 | 102.21875 |
| Power 3 (Score³) | 0.96 × stake × raw³ / 1279.3125 | 1279.3125 |
The expected gross return is 96% for all modes. This is not a guaranteed net profit. All 256 possible words have a raw score between 4 and 20. The selected power changes the return, not the raw score.
Controls and Settlement
Stake: One whole captured stake per round.
Auto/Stop: Auto starts at most ten draws. Stop cancels future draws while the current one settles.
Settlement: The animation lasts about 480 ms, or finishes sooner when reduced motion is enabled. Stake, mode, and refill are locked through active settlement and any auto queue. Sound remains available.
Wallet: The balance persists locally. If the balance is below 10 while idle, manual restoration sets the balance to exactly 1000, preserving fractional carry. Reloading the page ends an unfinished draw without refund.
Mathematical Evidence
The following data represents one million rounds for each power mode.
| Mode | Exact Gross RTP | Measured RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Power 1 | 96% | 96.05% |
| Power 2 | 96% | 95.92% |
| Power 3 | 96% | 96.06% |
Wallet and Storage Facts
Balance: Initial balance is 1000. Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload.
Restoration: Manual restore sets balance to 1000 when idle and below 10. It does not add coins or automatically replenish.
Storage: Source uses browser localStorage for settled demo balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing.
Identity and Privacy
Identity: The operator identity is unverified. This demo is not certified or reproduced from any outside product.
Privacy: The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet. The code alone does not establish all requests or processing. No account or payment controls exist in the demo.
Audience: 18+ is this guide's own intended audience policy, not a claim about local law or an implemented age gate.
Worked Examples
Examples of the scoring rule:
- Input: [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] Raw Score: 20
- Input: [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1] Raw Score: 20
- Input: [0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1] Raw Score: 16
Frequently asked questions
How does the balance restore work?
When the balance is below 10 and the user is idle, manual restoration sets the balance to exactly 1000. This preserves any fractional carry. It is not an automatic refill.
What happens if I reload during a draw?
Reloading the page ends an unfinished draw without refund or resume. The balance persists locally, but the current round is lost.
Is the 96% RTP guaranteed?
No. The expected gross return is 96% based on the mathematical model. This is not a guaranteed net profit for any session.
