Understanding the Virtual Nature of the Demo
This browser demonstration uses virtual coins with no cash value. It has no cashier, deposit or withdrawal flow. Reloading does not reset the saved wallet; an unfinished round is abandoned without refund. A manual refill is available only when idle below 10 coins.
Prefix Ballot Rows Mechanics
The core game is a four-by-four board called Prefix Ballot Rows. A board is drawn uniformly from a specific set of legal configurations determined by your selected mine count and a prefix constraint. The constraint requires that for every length from one to four, the number of mines in the top rows is at least the number of mines in the left columns. This creates a finite support of legal boards rather than using all possible random boards.
A safe reveal can reduce the compatible board set and increase the gross return. Revealing a certainly safe cell leaves both unchanged. The formula for the gross quote is 0.96 times the captured stake times the initial support size divided by the current compatible support size. If you hit a mine, you lose the captured stake. The maximum payout is capped at 1000 times the stake, and cells that would exceed this cap are disabled.
Wallet Behavior and Restoration
The wallet starts with 1000 virtual coins. Available stakes are 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200; the selected stake is debited and saved when a round starts. Stake and mine count stay fixed during that round.
At settlement, the game credits floor(gross return + previously saved fractional carry), then saves the remaining fraction. A mine returns zero. The carry survives settlement, refill and reload.
When idle with fewer than 10 coins, manual refill sets the integer balance to exactly 1000; it does not add 1000. Reloading abandons an unfinished round without refund or resume. The saved balance includes its already-debited stake. Clearing cached files alone may leave localStorage intact.
Audience Policy and Age Guidance
The intended audience for this guide is 18 years and older. This is a policy guideline for the demo experience and does not necessarily reflect a legally enforced age gate or the specific age of majority in your local jurisdiction. Since there is no account system, age verification is not part of the demo flow. Users are expected to self-assess their suitability for the experience.
Responsible Use Strategies
Set a personal time or virtual-coin limit before playing and stop when you reach it. Take breaks away from the game. The interface does not enforce a timer, personal loss limit or self-exclusion. A payout cap does not prevent losses and is not a personal safety tool. If play becomes difficult to control, stop and seek appropriate qualified help available in your area.
Data and Privacy in the Demo
The browser stores the current wallet balance and fractional carry in localStorage. Clearing cached files alone may leave these values intact; clear site data to remove them. The template declares Google Fonts. The absence of account login does not establish anonymity, server retention, data-sale practices or the absence of other processing. The HTML also declares a Statinside script and a Statinside pixel for browsers without JavaScript; actual requests depend on the browser.
Frequently asked questions
Can I win real money in the AA555 demo?
No. The virtual coins used in the demo have no cash value. There is no cashier, no deposit, and no withdrawal mechanism. The coins are purely for demonstration purposes.
How do I refill my balance if it runs out?
If your balance drops below 10 while you are idle, you can manually click the refill button. This action sets your balance to 1000 and preserves any fractional carry. The refill is not automatic and only works when you are not in an active round.
Is my data tracked or sold?
The wallet uses localStorage and the template declares Google Fonts. These facts do not establish all processing, server logging or data-sale practices. Clearing cached files alone may leave the wallet stored; removing site data clears it.
