How Scoring Works
The game generates two independent random numbers between 00 and 99. These two numbers provide four digits in total. The four individual digits are added together to get a sum between 0 and 36. The goal is to find the minimum number of coins (from denominations 1, 3, or 4) that exactly form that sum.
Tickets are categorized into bands based on the number of coins required:
- Class 0: 0–3 coins
- Class 1: 4–6 coins
- Class 2: 7–9 coins
Every selectable ticket pays a gross return calculated as 0.96 divided by its exact probability. This structure provides a 96% expected gross return over the long term.
The selectable labels are class 0 (0–3 coins), class 1 (4–6 coins), and class 2 (7–9 coins). The demo computes the class automatically; the player predicts a class before the draw. The default selection is class 0 with a stake of 20.
Stake and Controls
Players select one captured whole stake amount per draw. The available stake options are:
- 10 virtual coins
- 20 virtual coins
- 50 virtual coins
- 100 virtual coins
During an active draw, the following controls are locked:
- Stake selection
- Mode selection
- Refill
Sound controls remain available. There is no automatic cash-out, no stop button, and no auto-play queue. Each round is a single captured stake.
Wallet and Restoration
The demo starts with an initial balance of 1000 virtual coins. The wallet behavior is as follows:
- Manual Restoration: If the balance drops below 10 while idle, the user can manually restore the balance. This action sets the balance to exactly 1000 coins.
- Fractional Carry: Fractional changes persist through settlement, manual refill, and page reloads.
- Settled Balance: The local settled balance, including zero, persists in the browser.
Note that this is a manual restoration. It is not an automatic replenishment or a refill based on a timer. The restoration sets the balance to 1000, preserving any fractional carry that existed before the drop.
Reloading and Unfinished Rounds
If you reload the page while a round is in progress but not yet settled, the round ends without a refund. The game does not resume the unfinished state. Any progress or coins lost in an unfinished round are not recovered. The captured stake remains deducted; the unfinished draw is not restored. Balance and fractional carry persist locally.
Mathematical Evidence
The following table shows the exact expected return and measured simulation results for each mode. The expected RTP is derived from the exact probabilities of each ticket band.
| Mode | Expected RTP | Measured RTP (Sample) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 95.9999999999986% | 95.93890499999999% |
| 1 | 96.0000000000102% | 95.958785% |
| 2 | 96.00000000000347% | 96.19985% |
Measured values are supporting observations from 1,000,000 rounds and may vary slightly from the exact expected value. The displayed multipliers represent gross coin returns, not net profit.
Privacy and Storage
This demo uses localStorage to store the settled balance and fractional carry. This local storage does not prove that no other personal data is processed elsewhere. The published page requests Google Fonts stylesheets and font files and Statinside44 site-counter resources. There is no account login flow or payment processing in this demo.
Frequently asked questions
How is the score calculated in Ticket Coin Workshop?
Two independent random numbers between 00 and 99 are generated. Add all four individual digits, then the demo computes the minimum number of coins with denominations 1, 3 or 4 that form that digit sum. Tickets are grouped into bands of 0-3, 4-6, or 7-9 coins.
What is the expected return of the game?
The game has an expected gross return of 96%. This is calculated as 0.96 divided by the exact probability of each ticket band. Exact expected values differ slightly from measured simulation results.
Can I cash out early?
No. There is no early cash-out feature. Each round uses one captured whole stake, and the result is determined by the ticket bands.
What happens if I reload the page during a game?
An unfinished round ends without a refund. The game does not resume the previous state. The captured stake remains deducted; balance and fractional carry persist without resuming the draw.
How do I refill my balance?
You can manually restore your balance to 1000 if it drops below 10 while idle. This is a manual action, not an automatic refill.
Does the demo use cookies or third-party tracking?
The demo uses localStorage for balance persistence. The published page requests Google Fonts and Statinside44 counter resources. The absence of account or payment controls does not establish that no personal data are processed.
Are the stakes fixed?
Stakes are selected from fixed options: 10, 20, 50, or 100 virtual coins. You cannot enter a custom stake amount.
Is there an auto-play feature?
No. There is no automatic queue or auto-play. Each draw is a manual selection of stake and mode.
Do fractional coins carry over between sessions?
Yes. Fractional carry persists through settlement, manual refill, and page reloads.
What are the ticket bands?
Tickets are categorized by the minimum number of coins needed to form the sum: Class 0 (0–3 coins), Class 1 (4–6 coins), and Class 2 (7–9 coins).
Is this a real-money game?
No. This is a virtual coin demo. The coins have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn.
Who operates this demo?
This is an independent demo by this guide. It is not affiliated with any specific operator or casino. The game name and mechanics are preserved from the source, but the demo is self-contained.
