Survival Mechanics and Gross Payouts
Players select an exit lock from one to four before starting. The round involves independent survival chances at successive locks: 80% for the first, 75% for the second, two-thirds for the third, and 50% for the fourth. Reaching your chosen exit returns a gross multiplier of 1.2x, 1.6x, 2.4x, or 4.8x respectively. Failure at any stage returns zero, and there is no manual exit option during the round.
Expected Return and Simulation Evidence
The score function calculates survival at exits as 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, and 0.2, which when multiplied by the gross returns yields 0.96. This indicates an expected RTP of 96% for all choices. Simulation data from one million rounds confirms this, showing simulated RTPs ranging from 95.96% to 96.08% across different choices. This evidence supports the theoretical expectation without guaranteeing short-term results.
Wallet Settlement and Fractional Carry
A captured stake is deducted once at the start and persisted before animation. Payouts are computed in hundredths, with any fractional carry kept separately. The system credits the floor of whole coins and retains the remainder between zero and ninety-nine. If the balance falls below ten while idle, a manual refill sets the balance to one thousand. Reloads discard unfinished rounds without refund or resume.
Frequently asked questions
How is the final payout calculated in Ferry Locks?
The gross return includes the original stake and is multiplied by the exit multiplier. The result is computed in hundredths, crediting the floor whole coins while keeping the fractional remainder separately.
What happens to my stake if I reload the page?
The stake remains deducted from your balance. The unfinished round is discarded without refund or the ability to resume from where you left off.
