Survival Probabilities and Gross Returns
Ferry Locks offers four exit options, each with distinct survival odds. Exit 1 has an 80% survival rate and yields a 1.2x gross return. Exit 2 offers a 75% chance for a 1.6x gross return. Exit 3 provides a 66.6% chance for a 2.4x gross return. Exit 4 delivers a 50% chance for a 4.8x gross return. Failure at any stage results in a zero payout. These probabilities are independent for each lock choice.
Mathematical Expectation and Simulation
The expected return is calculated by multiplying the survival probability by the gross multiplier. For Exit 1, the score is 0.96. For Exit 2, it is 0.6. For Exit 3, it is 0.4. For Exit 4, it is 0.2. Simulation data confirms these expectations with an average RTP of 96%. The simulated RTP ranges from 95.7% to 96.1% across one million rounds. This indicates a consistent house edge of 4% across all modes.
Stake Management and Settlement Rules
Stakes are set at 10, 25, 50, or 100 virtual coins, with 25 as the default. The stake is deducted once at the start and persists through the round. Gross returns include the original stake. Fractional values are kept in hundredths and added to a saved carry. Whole coins are credited, and the remainder stays in the fractional pool. Reloads discard unfinished rounds without refund. No manual exit or autoplay is available during the round.
