Independent Terms & Mechanics: Endpoint Gauge

The game uses four independent uniform coordinates (0 through 7) to form two closed intervals after sorting. The score is the maximum of the absolute difference between their lower endpoints and their upper endpoints. One whole captured stake covers the complete configuration.

Players choose between three modes: score, score squared, or score cubed. Each mode is separately normalized over all 4,096 equally likely words to a 96% expected gross return. A larger power does not change which words score zero.

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

Settlement: 480ms captured settlement. Stake, mode, and refill are locked through active settlement and the auto queue.

• Stake: One whole captured stake; no independent row shares.
• Auto10: Queues at most ten captured draws.
• Stop: Cancels future draws while the current draw settles. No early bank.
• Sounds: Remain available even when controls are locked.

Initial Balance: 1,000 virtual coins.

Restoration: Manual idle-only restoration is eligible when the balance is below 10. It sets the balance to exactly 1,000 and preserves fractional carry.

Fractional Carry: Persists across settlement, refill, and reload.

Settled Balance: Persists locally, including zero.

Unfinished Reload: Ends an unfinished draw without refund or resume.

Storage: Source uses browser localStorage for 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.

Account/Payment: The demo has no account login flow and no payment flow.

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

Responsible Use: Optional pauses, personal time/virtual-coin limits, and finding appropriate local qualified help are encouraged. The demo does not clinically train behaviour or make losses safe.

Simulation measurements are supporting sample observations, not the mathematical payout law. Expected gross return is 96% for all modes, but this is not a guaranteed net profit.
