- Scoring: Minimum maximum positive lateness among 24 permutations of four jobs, lengths readings+1 and job-labelled deadlines 3/6/9/12.
- Inputs: Four independently uniform custom wheel readings 0–7 supply the labelled inputs.
- Payouts: Reward powers 1, 2, and 3 each use their own exact 4096-draw mean and give 96% expected gross return.
Stakes are one whole unit: 10, 20, 50, or 100. There is no Auto, Stop, or cash-out feature.
How Scoring and Settlement Work
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.
Stakes, Modes, and Controls
You can select one of four whole stakes: 10, 20, 50, or 100. There are three reward powers (modes), labeled 1, 2, and 3. Each mode uses its own exact 4096-draw mean and provides a 96% expected gross return.
- Controls: Stake, mode, and refill are locked during active play. Sound remains available.
- Auto/Stop: There is no automatic queue, early cash-out, or stop feature. One captured whole stake is used per complete draw.
Virtual Wallet and Restoration
The demo uses a virtual wallet with an initial balance of 1000 coins.
- Restoration: If the balance drops below 10 while idle, you can manually restore it. This action sets the balance to exactly 1000, preserving any fractional change.
- Fractional Carry: Fractional values persist through settlement, manual refill, and reload.
- Unfinished Reload: If you reload the page during an unfinished round, you receive no refund and the round is not resumed.
The settled balance (including zero) persists locally.
Mathematical Evidence and RTP
The exact expected return for each mode is recorded in the source-bound mathematical evidence. Simulation measurements are supporting sample observations, not the mathematical payout law or a promised return.
| Mode | Expected RTP (%) | Measured RTP (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 96 | 95.999175 |
| 2 | 96 | 96.000125 |
| 3 | 96 | 95.984785 |
Expected RTP is not a promised session result. Different modes have different distributions.
Privacy and Data Storage
The game source uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. The absence of account or payment controls in the demo does not prove that no personal data are processed.
The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet; actual full-site network capture remains pending. Clearing cached files may leave local storage where that storage is actually used.
Audience and Responsible Use
This guide is intended for an 18+ audience. This is a policy guideline, not a universal legal age or an implemented age gate.
Responsible use includes optional pauses, setting a personal time or virtual-coin limit, and finding appropriate local qualified help. The demo does not clinically train behavior or make losses safe.
Frequently asked questions
How is the score calculated in Deadline Ceiling?
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.
What stakes are available?
You can choose one whole stake: 10, 20, 50, or 100. There is no partial staking.
Is there an auto-stop or cash-out feature?
No. There is no early cash-out or automatic queue. One captured whole stake is used per complete draw.
How does the wallet restore work?
If your balance is below 10 and you are idle, you can manually restore it. This sets the balance to exactly 1000, preserving fractional change.
Does fractional carry persist?
Yes. Fractional carry persists through settlement, manual refill, and reload.
What happens if I reload during a round?
An unfinished round ends without refund or resume. The settled balance (including zero) persists locally.
What is the expected return for each mode?
All three modes (1, 2, and 3) give a 96% expected gross return. Mode 1: 96%, Mode 2: 96%, Mode 3: 96%.
Is this a standard roulette game?
No. This is an independent roulette-family optimization demonstration where the optimum is calculated automatically; the player does not choose an optimization solution.
How is data stored?
The game source uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing.
Is there a demo account login?
No. The demo account flow is none. There is no account-login flow in this demo.
Can I withdraw virtual coins?
No. Virtual coins have no cash value and there is no demo payment flow.
Who is this guide for?
This is an 18+ guide audience policy, not a universal legal age or implemented age gate.
