Game Mechanics and Scoring
Each ball has twelve independent fair choices. Left contributes −1 and right contributes +1. The game tests all twelve labelled starting positions around the circular word. A position qualifies when its rotated word never has a negative running sum and finishes at zero. Repeated rotation values still count separately because their starting positions are different. The score is the number of qualifying positions.
All-left and all-right words score zero: their final sums are −12 and +12. An alternating left/right word has six qualifying positions, all starting on right. A word with six consecutive right choices followed by six left choices has one qualifying position. Any word with unequal counts of left and right scores zero.
Controls, Concurrency, and Auto Play
Up to six balls can be active at once. Each ball captures its whole stake and selected power at launch, and the stake is debited then. Changing settings affects later launches. In normal motion, the animation runs for about 1,200 ms; reduced-motion preference can settle it earlier. There is no manual early collection. Auto schedules at most ten launches; Stop cancels future launches while existing balls finish. Sound remains available.
Wallet Behavior and Persistence
A new wallet starts with 1,000 virtual coins. The current balance, including each stake debit at launch and any zero balance, and fractional carry persist in the browser where storage is available. When all balls have finished, the queue is empty and balance is below 10, manual refill sets the balance to 1,000 while keeping fractional carry. It is locked while any ball or queued launch remains. Reloading discards unfinished balls without refund or resume.
Mathematical Evidence
All 4,096 twelve-choice words can be enumerated exactly. Each mode has 96% expected gross return by its own normalization. The one-million-round samples measured approximately 96.04%, 95.95% and 95.70%; these sample observations vary and do not replace the exact probability law. A positive gross return can still be smaller than the stake.
Data, Privacy, and Identity
The page uses browser localStorage for current virtual balance and fractional carry. It also loads Google Fonts and a Statinside counter. A local wallet and absence of a demo login do not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. Clearing cached files may leave saved site storage intact. This description is not an exhaustive processing inventory.
Audience and Responsible Use
This guide is intended for an 18+ audience; that policy is not a statement of local law or an enforced age gate. You can choose personal time or virtual-coin limits outside the interface and stop starting new balls. The demo has no pause timer, account-level block or self-exclusion control. It is not a clinical training tool and does not make losses safe.
Frequently asked questions
Does the demo have an account login or payment system?
No. The demo has no account-login flow and no payment flow. Virtual coins have no cash value. Refills are manual and local.
What happens to unfinished balls if I reload the page?
Reloading discards unfinished balls without refund or resume. The current balance, including stakes already debited for unfinished balls, and fractional carry persist.
Is the 96% RTP guaranteed?
No. The expected gross return is 96% based on exact means and path probabilities. This is not a guaranteed net profit for any session.
