Game Mechanics and Scoring
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.
Modes and Reward Powers
The demo features three distinct reward powers, each with its own exact 4096-draw mean. These modes yield a 96% expected gross return.
| Mode | Expected RTP | Measured RTP (Sample) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 96% | 95.999175% |
| 2 | 96% | 96.000125% |
| 3 | 96% | 95.984785% |
Each mode uses its own distribution. The expected RTP is a mathematical expectation, not a guaranteed session result.
Controls and Staking
Players capture a virtual stake from the following whole amounts: 10, 20, 50, or 100.
- No Auto/Stop/Cash-out: There is no early cashout or automatic queue. One captured whole stake is used per complete draw.
- Busy Controls: Stake, mode, and refill are locked during active play. Sound remains available.
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. Fractional carry persists through settlement, manual refill, and reload. The settled balance includes zero and persists locally.
Wallet and Restoration
The wallet has an initial balance of 1000. A manual idle-only restoration sets the balance to exactly 1000 if the balance falls below 10. This restoration preserves fractional change.
An unfinished round ends without refund or resume upon reload. This is not an automatic replenishment or a cash withdrawal system.
Privacy and Storage
The game source uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet; actual full-site network capture remains pending. No account or payment flow is present in this demo.
Frequently asked questions
Is Deadline Ceiling a standard roulette game?
No. It is an independent roulette-family optimization demonstration. The optimum is calculated automatically, and the scoring is based on minimum maximum positive lateness among 24 permutations of four jobs, not a standard wheel paytable.
How does the wallet restoration work?
If your balance drops below 10 while idle, you can manually restore it. This sets your balance to exactly 1000, preserving any fractional change. It is not an automatic refill.
What happens if I reload during a game?
An unfinished round ends without refund or resume. The state is not persisted across reloads for unfinished draws.
