Virtual Coins and Cash Value
The demo uses virtual play coins that hold no real-world monetary value. There is no cashier, no deposit, and no withdrawal mechanism. You cannot exchange these coins for currency or goods. The displayed wallet is local to this browser and persists across reloads until the stored values are removed.
Game Mechanics: Divisor Gap Ribbons Plinko
The game uses twelve independent fair left or right steps to define positions from x_0 to x_12. At each pair of rows i and 12-i for i from 1 to 5, the system compares tau(abs(x_i)+1) and tau(abs(x_(12-i))+1). The score is the summed absolute differences of these values. The exact minimum statistic over all 4096 paths is subtracted to obtain the nonnegative reward score. The minimum statistic is always 0.
Before starting, you choose linear, squared, or cubed reward weights. The gross multiplier is 0.96 times the chosen weight divided by its exact 4096-path mean. There is no interim collection; the entire stake is captured at the round start.
Settlement and Fractional Carry
At settlement, floor(stake × gross multiplier + stored fractional carry) is credited to your balance. The remainder persists as fractional carry. Zero-return rounds leave the fractional carry unchanged. This carry persists in browser localStorage across settlement, refill, and reload. The carry is not cleared when you refill your balance.
Wallet and Restoration Rules
The initial balance is 1000 play coins. You can select stakes of 10, 20, 50, or 100 coins, with 20 as the default. Settings, restoration, and starting another round are locked while a round is active. Restoration is manual and eligible only while idle. If your balance drops below 10 coins, you can refill it to exactly 1000 coins. This refill does not clear the fractional carry.
Unfinished Rounds and Reloading
If you reload the page during an active round, the captured stake remains deducted. The unfinished round ends without refund, payout, continuation, or resume. When controls are restored after a reload, the default stake of 20 and the first preset are restored. These controls lock during a round and become available when idle; after reload, the old round cannot resume.

Frequently asked questions
Do the virtual coins have cash value?
No. The virtual coins used in this demo have no cash value. They cannot be exchanged for real money or goods.
How does fractional carry work?
At settlement add the stored carry to stake × gross multiplier, credit the floor of the total, and retain the fractional remainder. A zero raw return leaves the old carry unchanged. Carry persists across restoration and reload.
What happens if I refresh the page during a round?
The captured stake remains deducted. The unfinished round ends without refund, payout, continuation, or resume. Controls reset to default stake and preset.
