Square Types Game Guide

Square Types uses eight fair binary symbols. The goal is to collect distinct contiguous values equal to two copies of a nonempty word. You sum their lengths once per value. One whole captured stake covers this complete independent fair binary word.

There are 256 equally likely words. Changing the power changes the return for the same raw score; it does not change the symbols drawn or guarantee a profit.

Choose between score, score squared, or score cubed. Each mode is separately normalized over all 256 equally likely words to a 96% expected gross return.

The gross payout formula is: Gross = 0.96 × captured whole stake × raw score raised to the selected power ÷ the mean for that power. Expected gross return is 96%; this is not guaranteed net profit.

• Auto10: Queues at most ten captured draws.
• Stop: Cancels future draws while the current one settles.
• Settlement: Takes about 480 ms, or sooner when reduced motion is enabled. Stake, mode, and refill are locked through active settlement and the auto queue.
• Sound: Remains available during controls lock.

The initial balance is 1000. Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload. Settled balance persists locally, including zero.

Restoration: Manual idle-only restoration sets the balance to exactly 1000 when idle below 10. It does not add coins or automatically replenish.

Reload: Ends an unfinished draw without refund or resume.

Simulation measurements are supporting sample observations, not the mathematical payout law.
