Game Modes and Survival Probabilities
Players select a stake of 5, 25, or 100 and a target multiplier of 1.25x, 2.50x, or 5.00x. Stage one survives with 76.8% probability, while each subsequent stage has a 50% independent survival chance. Reaching the target triggers automatic settlement; otherwise, a crash yields zero return. The exact survival probabilities from the start are 76.8% for 1.25x, 38.4% for 2.50x, and 19.2% for 5.00x.
Gross Return and Fractional Carry
The gross return includes the original stake, differing from net profit. At settlement, the stake is multiplied by the reached stage’s multiplier, and a quarter-coin fraction is added. The system credits the floor of this sum while retaining the remaining quarter units as carry. This fractional carry persists through crashes and manual restorations, so previously retained fractional carry is not lost on a crash.
Wallet Rules and Settlement
Stakes are deducted immediately upon starting. A manual restore sets the balance to 1,000 only when idle and the balance falls below 5. Reloading the page abandons unfinished rounds without refund or resume, resetting selectors to default values. The game saves balance and carry in local storage, but no account or payment form is required for this browser-based demo.
Questions & answers
What is the exact expected return for each target?
The exact expected gross return is 96% for every chosen automatic target. This figure represents the long-term expectation, not a guarantee for individual sessions or a win probability.
How does fractional carry work during a crash?
Fractional carry consists of quarter units retained separately from the whole balance. These units persist through crashes and manual restorations, adding to subsequent successful gross credits without being lost.
