The actual simulator rules
Draw eight independent uniform samples from minus one, zero and plus one before the round. Reveal the captured samples one at a time. Terminal reward is the square of the longest strictly increasing or strictly decreasing consecutive sample run. Equal neighbours break a run. A singleton has length one; with just three ordered values the maximum length is three. Direction reversals begin a different run and do not extend the earlier direction.
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
Eight equal samples have longest run one and terminal reward one. A consecutive minus one,zero,plus one triple has length three and reward nine; a plus one,zero,minus one triple also qualifies. An alternating minus one,plus one sequence has maximum run two and reward four, rather than one long run. Terminal reward is always positive. The exact initial mean is 38755/6561, about 5.906873952. The largest possible quote is about 1.477939105 times stake; auto targets 1.5,2,3 and 5 can never be reached.
Conditional quote and exact expected return
Enumerate all 6561 equally likely complete sequences. The quote is 0.97 times the exact mean terminal reward conditional on the revealed prefix, divided by the initial mean. It begins at 0.97 times stake and may rise or fall. A quote uses only revealed information; it adds no randomness and never rerolls the hidden sequence.
Manual Cash Out banks the current quote at the initial state or after any revealed step. Before the round, select an automatic target from 1.2,1.5,2,3 or 5, or choose manual collection. Auto collects on the first revealed quote at or above the chosen target and pays the full actual quote, including an upward jump. If conditional value is zero, settlement is immediately zero. Otherwise the final step settles automatically.
Every permitted decision based only on revealed information has 97% exact expected gross virtual return. This is neither a 97% win probability nor a session guarantee. Gross credit includes the stake component; net change subtracts the captured stake. An unreachable target waits for final settlement. Strict Run never has zero conditional value because every complete sequence has reward at least one. Its maximum quote is below 1.5.
Captured stake and the persisted wallet
A new browser wallet starts with 1,000 free virtual coins. Choose one whole stake of 10,20,50 or 100 before the round. The stake is deducted once; one round is active at a time and stake/target controls lock while it runs. Cash Out collects that round rather than withdrawing money.
Settled balance and fractional-credit carry persist in localStorage. Reload does not replenish settled funds. Fractions accumulate before whole coins are credited. Optional manual refill is available only 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. Clearing cache may leave localStorage intact.
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 site?
No. This independent guide authenticates no outside commercial affiliation.
How is terminal reward defined?
Draw eight independent uniform samples from minus one, zero and plus one before the round. Reveal the captured samples one at a time. Terminal reward is the square of the longest strictly increasing or strictly decreasing consecutive sample run. Equal neighbours break a run. A singleton has length one; with just three ordered values the maximum length is three. Direction reversals begin a different run and do not extend the earlier direction.
What is a worked example?
Eight equal samples have longest run one and terminal reward one. A consecutive minus one,zero,plus one triple has length three and reward nine; a plus one,zero,minus one triple also qualifies. An alternating minus one,plus one sequence has maximum run two and reward four, rather than one long run. Terminal reward is always positive. The exact initial mean is 38755/6561, about 5.906873952. The largest possible quote is about 1.477939105 times stake; auto targets 1.5,2,3 and 5 can never be reached.
How is the quote calculated?
It is 0.97 times the exact conditional mean terminal reward divided by the initial mean; it may rise or fall.
What does 97% describe?
Exact expected gross virtual return for permitted stopping decisions based on revealed information, not a win probability or session guarantee.
Does reload refill the wallet?
No. Settled balance and fractional-credit carry persist in localStorage.
When is refill available?
Only while idle with balance below ten. Manual refill sets balance to 1,000 and preserves carry.
What does an automatic target do?
It banks the full actual quote on the first revealed crossing. An unreachable target waits for final settlement.
Is an app needed?
No. The simulator runs in a browser. No outside APK or publisher is authenticated.
Can virtual credits be withdrawn?
No. They have no cash value and cannot be redeemed or transferred.
Does having no account guarantee anonymity?
No. External font and analytics requests and server/CDN logs may expose IP, device and request details.
Does the demo establish external safety?
No. It cannot assess an outside business, account, payment or commercial game.
