Arc Selection and Probability
Orbit Sum uses two independent pointers, each drawing a number from zero to six uniformly. The results are added and taken modulo seven, creating a uniform distribution across seven possible outcomes. Players choose an arc of one, two, or three positions starting at zero. If the result falls within the chosen arc, the player wins. The probability of winning is directly tied to the arc size: one position offers a one in seven chance, two positions offer two in seven, and three positions offer three in seven.
Gross Payout and Settlement
Gross returns include the original stake and differ from net profit. The payout multipliers are six point seven two times for an arc of one, three point three six times for an arc of two, and two point two four times for an arc of three. Settlement is automatic upon the end of the reveal. The stake is deducted once at the start and persisted before animation. Payouts are calculated in hundredths, with fractional carry kept separate from credited whole coins.
Wallet Mechanics and Reload Rules
The demo uses virtual coins with no cash value. A manual refill is available only when the balance drops below ten coins while idle, setting the balance to one thousand coins rather than adding that amount. Reloading the page discards any unfinished round without refund or resume. Controls for stake and mode selection are disabled while the round is active. The game does not save unfinished rounds, ensuring a fresh start upon reload.
Frequently asked questions
What is the expected return for Orbit Sum?
Simulation data shows an expected return to player of ninety-six percent. Tested rounds of one million each for different arc choices confirmed simulated returns between ninety-five point nine percent and ninety-six point four percent, aligning closely with the theoretical expectation.
How are fractional winnings handled?
Payouts are computed in hundredths. Any fractional carry is persisted separately and added to the credited whole coins. The remainder, ranging from zero to ninety-nine, is retained by the system and does not affect the immediate credited balance.
