Game Rules and Mechanics
The objective is to find the first prefix of a 12-bit sequence that contains all eight binary length-three factors (000 to 111) as contiguous windows. The game reveals twelve independent fair bits in order, with each semantic reveal following a 650ms interval.
Scoring and Powers
- Raw Score: Calculated as thirteen minus the prefix length where coverage completes. If coverage never completes, the score is zero.
- Power Selection: Players preselect a raw-score power: one, two, or three. This determines the score function used for payout pricing.
Payout Formula
The live gross bank quote is calculated as:
0.96 × captured whole stake × conditional expected terminal raw score raised to selected power / unconditional mean for that power
Exact unconditional means for the powers are:
- Power 1: 0.12744140625
- Power 2: 0.26806640625
- Power 3: 0.64306640625
The quote averages all remaining possible words based on revealed bits. It can rise or fall. If the conditional potential becomes zero, the quote settles to zero.
Controls, Modes, and Stopping Rules
Stake and Configuration
- One whole captured stake is used; there are no row shares.
- Players select a power (1, 2, or 3) and an automatic reveal cap (4, 8, or 12).
- Stake, power, and cap are locked during the live round.
Banking and Auto-Cap
- Manual Bank: Available immediately while live. Settles the current conditional quote.
- Automatic Cap: The selected cap (4, 8, or 12) automatically banks the current quote at that phase. If zero future potential remains, it settles zero earlier.
- No hidden future bits are exposed before their reveal.
Supported Policies
Any bounded stopping rule within these constraints has an expected gross return of 96% before integer rounding. This is not a guarantee of net profit.
Wallet Behavior and Persistence
Balance and Refill
- Initial balance is 1000 virtual coins.
- Idle Refill: If the balance drops below 10 while idle, a manual refill sets the balance to exactly 1000. This is not an automatic replenishment or addition of coins.
- Fractional Carry: Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload.
Reload and Settlement
- Settled Balance: Persists locally, including zero.
- Unfinished Reload: If a trace is active and the page is reloaded, the round ends without refund or resume of the captured debit.
- Busy Controls: Stake, mode, cap and refill are locked during the active round; sound remains available.
Mathematical Evidence and RTP
The following table presents exact expected gross RTP and measured RTP from simulation measurements. Simulations are supporting sample observations, not the mathematical payout law.
| Power / cap | Exact RTP | Sample RTP | Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 / 4 | 96% | 96.0465% | 1,000,000 |
| 1 / 8 | 96% | 96.3129% | 1,000,000 |
| 1 / 12 | 96% | 95.7037% | 1,000,000 |
| 2 / 4 | 96% | 96.0202% | 1,000,000 |
| 2 / 8 | 96% | 95.8199% | 1,000,000 |
| 2 / 12 | 96% | 96.2190% | 1,000,000 |
| 3 / 4 | 96% | 96.0406% | 1,000,000 |
| 3 / 8 | 96% | 95.9951% | 1,000,000 |
| 3 / 12 | 96% | 95.6717% | 2,000,000 |
Privacy and Storage
The template declares Google Fonts. The build includes a Statinside44 counter that makes network requests when pages load. Font and counter requests may expose connection information to their receiving services. Browser localStorage holds the demo balance and fractional carry. These source observations do not establish all data processing, server log retention or the policies of outside services.
Audience and Responsible Use
18+ Audience: This is the guide's own intended audience policy, not a claim about local law or an implemented age gate.
Responsible Use: Users may pause, set personal time or virtual-coin limits, and find appropriate local qualified help. The demo does not clinically train behavior or make losses safe. There are no account-level blocking, timer, or self-exclusion tools guaranteed in the interface.
Frequently asked questions
How is the payout calculated in Triplet Coverage Clock?
The live gross bank quote is 0.96 times the captured whole stake, multiplied by the conditional expected terminal raw score raised to the selected power (1, 2, or 3), divided by the unconditional mean for that power. The quote averages all remaining possible words and can rise or fall.
What happens if I reload the page during a round?
If a trace is active and the page is reloaded, the round ends without refund or resume of the captured debit. Fractional carry, however, persists across reload.
How does the idle refill work?
If the balance drops below 10 while idle, a manual refill sets the balance to exactly 1000. This preserves any fractional carry. It is not an automatic replenishment.
