Settings are chosen before starting
Select a stake of 10, 20, 50 or 100 play coins; 20 is the default. Choose 3, 4 or 5 hazards; 3 is the default. Stake, hazard count, restoration and a second round are locked during an active round. Pick an eligible cell selects among currently allowed cells; it does not guarantee safety or change the hidden layout.
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.
Gross credit and fractional carry
At settlement the wallet receives floor(raw gross return + stored fractional carry). The remaining fraction is saved for later settlements; a zero-return round leaves it unchanged. Gross return includes any returned stake, so it differs from net profit. The expected raw gross-return benchmark is 97% for completed valid stopping policies; it does not promise a winning session or a particular integer credit.
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.
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.
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.
