Shuffle Types: Game Rules, Controls & FAQ

Shuffle Types uses eight fair binary symbols (0 or 1). These are split into two four-symbol words. The game counts distinct eight-symbol outputs obtainable by interleaving while preserving the order within each half. All eight symbols are independent fair binary values.

One whole captured stake covers the complete draw. The score function is defined as:

• Gross = 0.96 × captured whole stake × raw^power / the exact mean for that power (1, 2 or 3)

There are three separately normalized score powers (modes), each normalized over all 256 equally likely words to a 96% expected gross return. The separate exact means are:

The raw score is always 1 to 70. Higher powers change the return distribution after normalization; positive gross return can still be below the stake. Expected gross return is 96%; this is not guaranteed net profit. Simulation measurements are supporting sample observations, not the mathematical payout law.

The game offers three distinct modes based on the selected power. Each mode is independently normalized.

• Score (Power 1): Normalized mean is 17.1875.
• Score Squared (Power 2): Normalized mean is 388.0625.
• Score Cubed (Power 3): Normalized mean is 11400.3125.

There are no zero raw scores in this game; a positive return can still be below the stake. The gross payout includes the stake as per the formula. Fractional carry is preserved across settlement, refill, and reload in this demo.

The following controls apply to the demo:

• Stake: One whole captured stake; no independent row shares.
• Auto10: Queues at most ten captured draws.
• Stop: Cancels future draws while the current one settles. No early bank.
• Settlement: about 480 ms animation in normal motion; reduced motion may finish immediately.

Stake, mode, and refill are locked through active settlement and any auto queue. Sound remains available during this time. Settings and refill are locked until settlement and the queue finish.

The demo wallet has specific rules for balance management:

• Initial Balance: 1000 virtual coins.
• Manual Restoration: Available when idle and balance is below 10. This action SETS the balance to exactly 1000.
• Fractional Carry: Persists across settlement, refill, and reload.
• Settled Balance: Persists locally, including zero.
• Unfinished Reload: Ends an unfinished draw without refund or resume.

These local counters do not imply automatic replenishment or account recovery; restoration is manual and idle-only.

Source uses browser localStorage for settled demo balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. The absence of account or payment controls in the demo does not prove that no personal data are processed.

The source declares Google Fonts, and the production builder includes the Statinside44 visitor counter. Current browser capture is required to identify actual requests; this does not establish anonymity, retention or absence of other processing. Clearing cached files may leave local storage where that storage is actually used.

The intended audience for this guide is 18+. This is a policy statement, not a universal legal age, an implemented age gate, or a statement of local legality. Responsible-use pages can describe optional pauses, a personal time/virtual-coin limit, and finding appropriate local qualified help. The demo does not clinically train behavior or make losses safe.
