Game Mechanics and Payouts
Before starting, you must choose an exit lock numbered one through four. Each lock has a specific survival probability: the first lock is eighty percent, the second is seventy-five percent, the third is two-thirds, and the fourth is fifty percent. Reaching your chosen exit yields a gross payout multiplier of 1.2, 1.6, 2.4, or 4.8 respectively. If you fail to survive a lock, you receive zero. There is no option to exit manually during the round; you must commit to the chosen path. Stakes are set at 10, 25, 50, or 100 coins, with 25 being the default. The round resets to one upon reloading the page.
Wallet, Stakes and Settlement
A stake is deducted once at the start of the round and persists before any animation begins. Gross returns include the original stake and differ from net profit. Payouts are calculated in hundredths, with any fractional carry kept separately. Whole coins are credited to your balance, while the remainder between zero and ninety-nine is retained. You can manually refill your balance only when it falls below ten coins while idle. The refill sets your balance to one thousand coins rather than adding that amount. An unfinished round is discarded without refund or resumption upon reload.
Mathematical Evidence and Controls
The expected return is calculated by multiplying survival probabilities by gross multipliers, resulting in values like 0.96 for specific choices. Simulation data shows an expected return to player rate of ninety-six percent across one million rounds. Controls for stake selection and starting are disabled while the round is active. Automatic settlement occurs at the chosen exit or the end of the reveal sequence. There is no autoplay or manual stop feature available during play.
