Virtual coins only. No account, no payment, no prizes.

Game Mechanics and Survival Odds

Before starting, you must select one of four exit locks numbered one to four. Each lock has a distinct survival probability at successive stages: eighty percent, seventy-five percent, two thirds and fifty percent. If your chosen exit is reached, the game awards a gross return of 1.2x, 1.6x, 2.4x or 4.8x respectively. Failure at any stage results in a zero return for that round. There is no manual exit option once the round begins, and the game settles automatically at the chosen exit or the end of the reveal sequence.

Stakes, Payouts and Wallet Behavior

The available stakes are ten, twenty-five, fifty and one hundred, with twenty-five as the default. Your stake is deducted immediately at the start of the round and persists even if the round is unfinished. The gross return includes your original stake. Payouts are calculated in hundredths, with any fractional carry saved separately while only whole coins are credited to your balance. Your initial balance is set to one thousand virtual coins. A manual refill is available only when the balance drops below ten, resetting the balance to one thousand rather than adding to it. This refill is disabled while a round is active.

Settlement, Reloads and Technical Facts

Control buttons for stake, start and mode selection are disabled while a round is active. Reloading the page discards any unfinished round without refund or the ability to resume. The game saves your whole virtual wallet, fractional hundredths and a pending round flag in your browser's local storage. The intended audience is eighteen or older, though no enforced age gate is present. The demo requires no account, but separate external buttons may navigate to unverified login or registration pages. Google Fonts and Statinside analytics are observed third-party requests.

Frequently asked questions

What is the expected return for the Ferry Locks demo?

Simulation evidence shows an expected return to player rate of ninety-six percent across all four crash choices. Measured simulated rates hover slightly below this expectation, ranging from ninety-five point nine four to ninety-five point ninety five percent.

Does reloading the game refund my lost stake?

No. Reloading discards the unfinished round and any stake already deducted from your balance. There is no refund mechanism and no option to resume the previous state after a reload.
