Adult audience and personal breaks
This guide has an intended 18+ audience; the label is not an implemented age check or a statement about local law. Choose personal time and play-coin limits and take breaks between completed rounds. There is no pause button, timer, account blocking or self-exclusion feature. If play is causing concern, step away and seek appropriate qualified local help.
No cashier or cash exchange
This demo has no deposits, withdrawals, payment methods or exchangeable winnings. Its locally stored play coins cannot be converted to money. Nothing on the payments page verifies an outside Melolo service’s fees, processing times, account checks or payment rules.
Exact rules and measured samples
The probability-based pricing rule and the finite set of eligible layouts define the mathematics. Tests of completed stopping policies have a 97% expected raw gross return; simulations are sample measurements around that benchmark. This is not a guaranteed session return, and abandoning an unfinished round follows the zero-refund reload rule. Rounded cell percentages must not replace the exact fraction in pricing.
Collection and the per-choice cap
Collect becomes available after at least one safe reveal. You may collect the current gross value or choose another eligible cell. A cell is disabled if it is already open, certainly hazardous or would produce more than 1,000 times the captured stake; equality is allowed. Automatic collection occurs only when no eligible uncertain cell remains. Merely touching a cap is not a separate automatic-collection rule.
An unfinished round is not resumed
Reloading or closing during an active round ends it without refund, payout or continuation. The captured stake remains deducted, while carry from earlier settlements remains stored. The revealed cells and hidden layout are not saved for resumption. On loading again, stake 20 and 3 hazards are restored as defaults.
Local balance and manual restoration
A fresh wallet starts at 1,000 play coins. The balance, including zero, and the fractional payout remainder are stored in this browser’s localStorage. When no round is active and the balance is below 10, Restore balance sets it to exactly 1,000. It does not add 1,000 or clear the stored fraction. Play coins have no cash value.
Frequently asked questions
Does this guide verify an official Melolo service?
No. It explains its own browser demo. An outside operator, account or app remains unverified.
Does restoration add 1,000 coins?
No. When idle below 10 coins, it sets the balance to exactly 1,000 and retains stored fractional carry.
Can an unfinished round resume after a reload?
No. The captured stake stays deducted, and the unfinished round ends without refund or payout. The default stake is 20 and the default hazard count is 3.
