Twelve Independent Left or Right Directions
One complete hidden path of twelve independent, equally likely left or right directions is selected when a round starts. All 4096 paths have equal probability. The animation displays only directions already reached. No later action redraws the path, and reduced motion changes animation duration rather than probabilities. One ball is active at a time.
The Longest Contiguous Palindrome
The raw terminal score is the length of the longest contiguous direction substring that reads the same forwards and backwards. It is a substring of consecutive directions, not a subsequence that skips symbols. The score ranges from four to twelve, so every path has a positive raw score. When several longest intervals tie, the first is highlighted after the ball finishes; the highlight reveals no future directions during animation.
Reading Direction Patterns
LLLLLLLLLLLL has score twelve. LRLRLRLRLRLR has score eleven: either eleven-direction interval reads the same in reverse. To compare another pattern, take consecutive directions and reverse that interval. Matching a few separated letters does not form a contiguous palindrome. The final score concerns the complete twelve-direction path rather than just the prefix seen during animation.
Power and Exact Expected Gross Credit
Select power one, two or three before the round. Gross multiplier is 0.96 times the terminal score raised to that power, divided by the exact unconditional mean for the selected power. Those means are 7.654296875, 61.6220703125 and 520.0390625 respectively. Exact unrounded expected gross credit is 96% of captured stake in each mode. This is not winning frequency, a session promise or a commercial return claim. A positive score can still return less than the stake.
One Captured Stake and One Ball
Choose ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred virtual coins before starting. One whole captured stake is debited once. Stake and power controls are locked during the animation. There is no Auto queue, manual collection or cashout. The selected path finishes and settles its terminal reward; timing a click does not change the result.
Frequently asked questions
How is the score found?
It is the longest contiguous palindrome in the complete twelve-direction path; separated symbols do not count.
Can a positive score lose coins?
Yes. Every raw score is positive, but the gross credit can be below the captured stake.
Can I cash out early?
No. There is one active ball, no Auto queue and no collection or cashout control.
