The actual simulator rules
A ball starts at signed position zero and takes twelve independent fair left/right steps. Inspect positions after rows one through twelve, excluding the origin. Let P count positions strictly above zero and N count positions strictly below zero. Positions at zero count in neither. Raw score is P times N. One whole captured stake covers the path.
These are this guide's original rules. Visual resemblance, game-category names and search snippets provide no evidence about an external commercial game.
Worked scoring examples
An all-right or all-left path visits only one side and scores zero. Alternating right then left never visits a negative position and also scores zero. Right,left,left,right repeated three times visits three positive and three negative positions; its raw score is nine. Endpoint and number of right commands do not determine this occupation score.
Exact expected gross return
Enumerate all 4096 equally likely outcomes and calculate a separate exact mean for each weighting mode. Choose Low, Medium or High before a round. Positive raw scores receive square-root, identity or square weighting respectively; zero remains zero.
Gross virtual credit equals the whole captured stake times 0.96 times observed weight divided by the corresponding exact mean. Every mode has 96% exact expected gross return. There are no separately paid row shares. The stake was deducted at launch, so gross credit includes the stake component and is not net profit.
Modes preserve positive-score frequency while changing positive credits after normalisation. The expectation is neither a 96% chance of winning nor a session-balance guarantee. Past results do not make a favourable next outcome due.
Captured settings and the persisted wallet
A new browser wallet starts with 1,000 free virtual coins. Settled balance and fractional-credit carry persist in localStorage. Reload does not replenish settled funds; clearing cache may leave localStorage intact. Fractions accumulate before whole coins are credited.
Up to six separately priced drops may be in progress. A drop retains its captured settings; changing controls affects future launches only. Auto launches at most ten rounds; Stop cancels future launches while active results settle. Refill remains locked until all active results and queued launches finish. Optional manual refill is available while idle with balance below ten; it sets balance to 1,000 and preserves carry. It is not automatic and does not add 1,000.
Local storage and external requests
The browser retains settled balance and fractional-credit carry as local game state. These records are not an online account and provide no recovery or device synchronisation service. Clearing site storage can remove them; cache deletion alone may not do so.
Pages request Google Fonts and a Statinside analytics script. Server/CDN logs and external requests may expose IP address, browser, device and request details. No anonymity, cookie lifetime, absence of profiling or complete third-party processing description is established. Having no personal-information form does not establish that browsing creates no personal data record.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an authenticated operator website?
No. This guide provides its own simulator and authenticates no outside commercial affiliation.
How is raw score defined?
A ball starts at signed position zero and takes twelve independent fair left/right steps. Inspect positions after rows one through twelve, excluding the origin. Let P count positions strictly above zero and N count positions strictly below zero. Positions at zero count in neither. Raw score is P times N. One whole captured stake covers the path.
What is an example of the score?
An all-right or all-left path visits only one side and scores zero. Alternating right then left never visits a negative position and also scores zero. Right,left,left,right repeated three times visits three positive and three negative positions; its raw score is nine. Endpoint and number of right commands do not determine this occupation score.
What do the weighting modes change?
Low, Medium and High apply square-root, identity and square weights to a positive raw score. Zero stays zero, and each mode is separately normalised.
What does 96% describe?
Exact expected gross virtual return relative to captured stake under the stated probability condition. It is not a win probability or session guarantee.
