Game Mechanics and Probability
Mosaic Seams uses four independent tiles, each displaying one of three equally likely shapes. You count matching adjacent pairs across three seams. Each match returns 0.96x gross. The possible total returns are 0x, 0.96x, 1.92x, or 2.88x. The probability for each equal adjacent pair indicator is 1/3. The linear expectation is calculated as 3 * (1/3) * 0.96 = 0.96.
Stakes, Payouts, and Settlement
Stakes are 10, 25, 50, or 100, with 25 as the default. A whole stake is deducted once at the start. Gross returns include the stake. Payouts are computed in hundredths. Fractional carry is persisted separately. The system credits floor whole coins and keeps the remainder 0-99. Settlement is automatic at the exit or end of reveal. There is no manual stop or autoplay.
Wallet Rules and Reload Behavior
The initial balance is 1000 coins. Manual refill is available only when idle and balance is below 10, setting the balance to 1000. Fractional carry is integer hundredths 0-99. Whole coins are stored in localStorage. Reloading discards unfinished rounds without refund or resume. The stake remains deducted during the reload. Controls are disabled while active.
