Survival Odds and Gross Returns
Ferry Locks features four distinct exit locks with independent survival probabilities. Lock 1 offers an 80% chance for a 1.2x gross return. Lock 2 provides a 75% chance for a 1.6x return. Lock 3 has a two-thirds chance for a 2.4x return. Lock 4 requires a 50% chance for a 4.8x return. Failure at any stage results in a zero payout. The expected return for each mode is calculated by multiplying survival probability by the gross multiplier, yielding values like 0.96 for the first lock.
Stake Deduction and Settlement
A stake of 10, 25, 50, or 100 coins is deducted immediately upon starting a round. This deduction persists even if you reload the page mid-round, with no refund or resume option. Payouts are computed in hundredths of a coin. Any fractional carry is saved separately. The system credits floor whole coins to your balance while retaining the remainder between 0 and 99. Settlement occurs automatically at the chosen exit or end of the reveal sequence.
Wallet Management and Controls
The demo starts with an initial balance of 1000 virtual coins. You can manually refill your balance when it drops below 10 coins during idle time, setting it to 1000. Controls for stake and mode selection are disabled while a round is active. Reloading the page discards any unfinished round without refund. The game requires no account, but uses localStorage to save your wallet state and pending round flags.
