Endpoint Gauge: Independent Rules & Demo

Four coordinates are drawn from a uniform distribution of integers 0 through 7. These form two pairs, each sorted into a lower and upper endpoint, creating two closed intervals. The raw score is calculated as:

Raw Score = max(|lower1 - lower2|, |upper1 - upper2|)

A score of zero occurs when the intervals are identical (e.g., [0,0] and [0,0] or [7,7] and [7,7]). The game offers three payout modes, each separately normalized to an expected gross return of 96%. The payout formula is:

Gross = 0.96 × captured whole stake × raw^(selected mode + 1) / mean[selected mode]

The exact means for the modes are:

• Mode 1 (Power 1): 2.912109375
• Mode 2 (Power 2): 10.953125
• Mode 3 (Power 3): 47.830078125

Controls: The player selects a stake, a mode (power), and can toggle Auto-Play or Stop. The stake is captured whole for the configuration. Sound remains available even when controls are locked.

Auto-Play & Stop: Auto-Play queues up to ten draws. The Stop button cancels future draws in the queue but allows the current draw to settle. There is no early bank.

Settlement: Each draw has a 480ms captured settlement time. During active settlement and through any auto-queue, stake, mode, and refill controls are locked.

The game operates over 4,096 equally likely words. The expected gross return is exactly 96% for all modes. Simulation measurements from 1,000,000 rounds support this but are not the law.

Note: Powers 1, 2, and 3 do not alter which raw scores are zero. The distribution of payouts differs by mode due to the power applied to the raw score.

Balance: The demo initializes with a balance of 1,000 virtual coins. Restoration: If the balance is idle and below 10, a manual refill sets the balance to exactly 1,000. This preserves any fractional carry.

Persistence: Settled balances persist locally, including zero. Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload. However, reloading the page ends an unfinished draw without refund or resume.

Identity: This demo has no account login flow. No personal data or payment controls are implemented in the demo interface.

Storage: The demo uses browser localStorage for the settled demo balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing.

Third Parties: The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet. Actual browser request capture is pending; this is not a claim that other requests or processing are absent.

Privacy: The absence of account controls in the demo does not prove that no personal data are processed elsewhere. Clearing cached files may leave local storage.

Audience: This guide is intended for an 18+ audience. This is a policy, not a claim about local law or an implemented age gate.

Responsible Use: Virtual coins have no cash value. Losses are not safe; the demo does not clinically train behavior. Users can set personal time or coin limits. Find appropriate local qualified help if needed.

Claims: The demo does not promise account-level blocking, a timer, or self-exclusion tools that the interface does not have.
