Scoring and Mechanics
Four independent, uniformly distributed readings from 0 to 7 define four job durations, each reading plus 1. The four jobs have fixed labelled deadlines of 3, 6, 9 and 12. For each ordering, cumulative durations determine completion times; positive lateness is the larger of zero and completion time minus that job’s deadline. The score is the smallest maximum positive lateness among the 24 permutations of the four jobs. The system calculates this automatically; the player does not choose an ordering.
Stake, Modes and Controls
Players select one whole stake from 10, 20, 50, or 100. There is no Auto-play, Stop, or cash-out feature. Each reward power (1, 2, or 3) uses its own exact 4096-draw mean and gives a 96% expected gross return. The stake is captured virtually at the start of the draw.
Payout and Settlement
Actual payout math and every mode are recorded in the source-bound mathematical evidence. Displayed multipliers are gross coin returns, not profit. The demo does not promise a specific session result, as expected RTP is not a guaranteed outcome.
Wallet and Persistence
The initial balance is 1000. If the balance drops below 10 while idle, you can manually restore it to exactly 1000, preserving any fractional change. Fractional carry persists through settlement, manual refill, and reload. An unfinished round ending on reload receives no refund. Local settled balance including zero persists.
Storage and Privacy
The game source uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry; this does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. Template declares Google Fonts stylesheet; actual full-site network capture remains pending. There is no account login or payment flow in this demo.
Responsible Use
This 18+ guide is intended for an adult audience, not a universal legal age or implemented age gate. The demo does not clinically train behaviour or make losses safe. There are no account-level blocking or self-exclusion tools in this interface.
Frequently asked questions
Is Deadline Ceiling a standard roulette game?
No. It is an independent roulette-family optimization demonstration where the optimum is calculated automatically. It is not a European roulette paytable.
How does the wallet restoration work?
If your balance is below 10 and you are idle, you can manually restore it to exactly 1000. This preserves fractional change. Unfinished rounds on reload receive no refund.
What is the expected return?
Each reward power (1, 2, or 3) gives a 96% expected gross return based on its exact 4096-draw mean. This is an expected value, not a guaranteed session result.
