The game relies on four independent uniform coordinates ranging from zero to seven. These form two closed intervals after sorting each endpoint pair. The core mechanic involves scoring based on the distance between these intervals.
Core Mechanics and Scoring
The game uses four independent uniform coordinates, each ranging from zero to seven. These coordinates form two closed intervals after sorting each endpoint pair. The score is calculated as the maximum of the absolute difference between their lower endpoints and between their upper endpoints.
A single whole captured stake covers the complete configuration. The game offers three distinct modes, each separately normalized over all 4096 equally likely words to achieve a 96% expected gross return.
| Mode | Score Function | Exact Mean |
|---|---|---|
| Score | raw^1 | 2.912109375 |
| Score Squared | raw^2 | 10.953125 |
| Score Cubed | raw^3 | 47.830078125 |
The payout formula is: Gross = 0.96 × captured whole stake × raw^(selected mode + 1) / mean[selected mode]. Note that powers one, two, and three do not alter which raw scores are zero.
Controls and Modes
The interface provides specific controls for managing gameplay flow:
- One whole captured stake: No independent row shares.
- Three separately normalized score powers: Allows selection of linear, squared, or cubed scoring.
- Auto10: Queues at most ten captured draws.
- Stop: Cancels future draws while the current one settles. It does not trigger an early bank.
- Sound: Remains available during active settlement.
Settings, stake, mode, and refill options are locked through active settlement and any auto queue. Settlement takes 480ms.
Wallet and Persistence
The demo wallet operates independently of any external account system. The initial balance is set to 1000 virtual coins.
- Restoration: Balance can be manually restored while idle if the balance falls below 10. This action sets the balance to exactly 1000.
- Fractional Carry: Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload.
- Settled Balance: Persists locally, including when the balance is zero.
- Unfinished Reload: Reloading the page ends an unfinished draw without refund or resume.
Mathematical Evidence
The following table presents the exact expected gross return alongside simulation measurements from 1,000,000 rounds per mode. Simulation measurements are supporting sample observations and not the mathematical payout law.
| Mode | Exact Gross RTP | Measured RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Power 1 | 0.96 | 96.05260104584401% |
| Power 2 | 0.96 | 95.87722517452876% |
| Power 3 | 0.96 | 96.11708824679295% |
The expected gross return is 96% for all modes. This is not a guaranteed net profit for any session.
Worked Examples
The following examples are derived from the actual game.js pure score function:
- Ordered Symbols [0,0,0,0]: Raw Score = 0
- Ordered Symbols [7,7,7,7]: Raw Score = 0
- Ordered Symbols [0,1,2,3]: Raw Score = 2
A larger power does not change which words score zero.
Privacy and Storage
This guide observes the following regarding data handling in the demo:
- Storage: Source uses browser localStorage for settled demo balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing.
- Third-Party Requests: 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.
- Account/Payment Flow: The demo has no account login flow and no payment flow. Virtual coins have no cash value.
Frequently asked questions
Is Endpoint Gauge a licensed casino game?
The query identity is unverified. A search snippet or similarly named domain does not establish this as an official licensed service. This guide reviews the mathematical contract and demo mechanics independently.
How is the score calculated?
Four independent uniform coordinates zero through seven form two closed intervals after sorting each endpoint pair. The score is the maximum of the absolute difference between their lower endpoints and between their upper endpoints.
What happens if I reload the page during a draw?
Reloading ends an unfinished draw without refund or resume. The settled balance persists locally, including zero, but the current round is lost.
