Game Structure and Probabilities
Paper Bridges features four rows of three bridges, with one hidden hazard per row. You choose one bridge per row to survive. The probability of surviving k rows is (2/3)^k. Gross returns for surviving 1 to 4 rows are 1.44x, 2.16x, 3.24x, and 4.86x respectively. Row 4 settles automatically.
Stakes, Wallet, and Settlement
Stakes are 10, 25, 50, or 100 virtual coins, with 25 as the default. The stake is deducted once at the start. Gross returns include the stake. Payouts are computed in hundredths, with fractional carry kept separate. Whole coins are credited, and the remainder is retained. Reloading discards unfinished rounds without refund.
Simulation and Evidence
Simulation data from one million rounds shows an expected RTP of 96%. Simulated RTPs ranged from 95.91% to 96.33% across different choices. This confirms the mathematical expectation of 0.96. The demo uses virtual coins with no cash value.
Frequently asked questions
How are payouts calculated in Paper Bridges?
Payouts are calculated as gross returns including the stake. The system computes values in hundredths, credits the floor of whole coins, and retains the remainder as fractional carry.
What happens if I reload the page during a round?
Reloading discards any unfinished round without refund or resumed settlement. The stake remains deducted, and the round does not continue upon return.
