Game Mechanics and Payout Structure
Each round involves two pointers selecting values from 0 to 6. These values are added and taken modulo 7, creating a uniform distribution across seven possible outcomes. Players select an arc length of one, two, or three positions starting from zero. If the result falls within the chosen arc, the gross return is 6.72 times the stake for a single-position arc, 3.36 times for two positions, or 2.24 times for three positions. Any result outside the selected arc yields zero. The expected return to player is consistently 96 percent across all arc choices, as confirmed by both mathematical calculation and simulation data.
Wallet Management and Settlement Rules
Stakes are set at 10, 25, 50, or 100 virtual coins, with 25 being the default. The entire stake is deducted from your balance at the start of the round and persists before any animation begins. Settlement is automatic upon the end of the reveal, with no manual stop or autoplay options available. Gross returns include the original stake, which is added back to your balance. Fractional amounts are tracked in hundredths; whole coins are credited, and the remainder is kept as a fractional carry. If your balance drops below 10 coins while idle, you may manually refill it to reset the balance to 1000 coins. Reloading the page discards any unfinished round without refund or resumption.
Simulation Evidence and Site Observations
Simulation data over one million rounds confirms the expected return of 96 percent, with simulated results ranging from approximately 95.91 percent to 96.20 percent. This demo operates locally without an account, using localStorage to save your wallet balance and fractional carry. No payment, deposit, or withdrawal occurs within this virtual environment. External buttons for login or registration link to unverified third-party services. The intended audience is 18+, though no strict age gate is enforced. Google Fonts and analytics requests are observed, but no personal data collection or KYC is required for the demo itself.
Frequently asked questions
How is the payout calculated in Orbit Sum?
Payouts are gross returns that include your original stake. The amount depends on the arc length chosen: 6.72x for one position, 3.36x for two, or 2.24x for three. Fractional values are tracked separately, with whole coins credited and remainders kept as carry.
What happens to my stake if I reload the page?
If you reload the page, any unfinished round is discarded without a refund. The deducted stake is lost, and the game resets without resuming the previous round. You must start a new round with a new stake deduction.
