Game Mechanics and Payouts
The game features four rows of three bridges, with one hidden hazard per row. Players select a bridge in the active row to either collect winnings or continue. Gross returns for surviving one to four safe rows are 1.44x, 2.16x, 3.24x, and 4.86x respectively. The fourth row settles automatically. The expected return is 0.96, calculated as (2/3)^k * 0.96 * (3/2)^k. Payouts are computed in hundredths, with fractional carry saved separately while whole coins are credited.
Wallet Rules and Settlement
A captured stake is deducted once at the start and persists before any animation. The game accepts stakes of 10, 25, 50, or 100, with 25 as the default. Manual restoration is available only when the balance is below 10, setting the balance to 1000 rather than adding to it. If you reload the page, any unfinished round is discarded without refund or resumption. The wallet stores whole coins in localStorage, while fractional hundredths are kept separately.
Site Facts and Identity
This is an independent demo with no verified operator, licence, or official app. The game requires no account, though external buttons may link to unverified services. Google Fonts and Statinside analytics are observed. The intended audience is 18+, but there is no enforced age gate. Virtual coins have no cash value, and there is no cashier for deposits or withdrawals. Clearing cache does not remove the local wallet data.
