Move To Front Ranks

The game uses a hidden eight-code word drawn uniformly from 65,536 possibilities. Players choose shots (0–3) before each of eight deliveries. The core mechanic involves updating an ordered alphabet and calculating scores based on squared current ranks. Three distinct scoring modes offer different payout normalizers, all targeting an exact expected gross return of 96%. This demo has no account login, no payment flow, and uses a local virtual wallet.

How the Game Works

The game simulates eight deliveries. Before each delivery, you select a shot value from 0 to 3. This choice permutes an independent, uniform hidden code. The visible runs displayed are 0, 1, 2, or 4.

Start with the ordered alphabet [0,1,2,3]. For each delivery, add the square of the observed code’s current zero-based rank to the score, then move that code to the front. Repeat for all eight deliveries. Because the entire eight-code word is equally likely among 65,536 words, the game has specific mathematical properties.

  • Controls: You choose one whole captured stake. You can change your shot choice between manual deliveries.
  • Locking: Once a match starts, the stake, payout mode, and refill settings are locked until the match settles.
  • Auto Play: Auto10 queues whole matches. A Stop command cancels future matches but allows the current automated match to complete.

Scoring Modes and RTP

There are three separate scoring modes, each with its own normalizer. The gross payout is calculated as:

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

The separate exact means for the three modes are [28, 882, 30400]. Powers of one, two, and three do not alter which raw scores are zero.

The expected gross return is exactly 96%. This is not a guarantee of net profit, nor does it predict results for other products.

Wallet and Persistence

This demo uses a virtual wallet with an initial balance of 1000 coins.

  • Restoration: If your balance falls below 10 while idle, you can manually restore it. This action sets the balance to exactly 1000. It is not an automatic refill or a deposit.
  • Fractional Carry: Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload events.
  • Unfinished Rounds: If you reload the page during an unfinished round, the round ends without refund or resume. Only settled balances persist locally.

Mathematical Evidence

Frequently asked questions

Can I withdraw virtual coins from this demo?

No. The virtual coins in this demo have no cash value. There is no payment flow or withdrawal mechanism.

Does the game auto-refill my balance?

No. If your balance drops below 10 while idle, you must manually trigger a restoration. This sets the balance to exactly 1000. It is not an automatic replenishment.

What happens if I reload the page mid-game?

If the round is unfinished, it ends without a refund or resume. Only settled balances persist locally.
