Game Mechanics and Probabilities
Mosaic Seams uses four independent tiles, each displaying one of three equally likely shapes. The game counts matching adjacent pairs across three seams. Each match yields a gross return of 0.96 times the stake. With three seams, the total possible returns are 0, 0.96, 1.92, or 2.88 times the stake. The expected return per round is calculated as three seams multiplied by a one-third probability of matching, times 0.96, resulting in an expected gross return of 0.96 per seam. This aligns with a 96% simulated RTP observed in one million rounds.
Stakes, Settlement, and Wallet Behavior
Available stakes are 10, 25, 50, and 100 coins, with 25 as the default. The full stake is deducted once at the start and persists before animation. Settlement is automatic at the end of the reveal or when an exit choice is made; there is no manual stop or autoplay. Payouts are computed in hundredths. The system adds any saved fractional carry, credits the floor of whole coins, and retains the remainder between zero and ninety-nine. A simulation of one million rounds showed a simulated RTP of 95.963904, confirming the theoretical 96% expectation.
Wallet Restoration and Reload Rules
The demo uses virtual coins with no cash value. If the balance falls below ten coins while idle, manual restoration sets the balance to one thousand coins; this is a set amount, not an addition. Fractional hundredths are persisted separately from the whole coins stored in localStorage. Reloading the page discards any unfinished round without refund or resumption. The stake remains deducted even if the round is not completed. Controls for stake, start, and mode are disabled while the round is active.
Frequently asked questions
Does the demo save unfinished rounds?
No. Reloading the page discards any unfinished round without refund or resumption. The stake remains deducted from the balance.
How are fractional returns handled?
Payouts are computed in hundredths. The system credits the floor of whole coins and retains the remainder, including during manual refill, up to a maximum of ninety-nine hundredths.
