Voluntary Breaks and Personal Limits
The demo indicates an intended audience of adults aged eighteen and older, though no strict age gate is enforced. Players can set their own voluntary limits on session duration or spending since the interface does not enforce hard caps. Automatic settlement occurs at the chosen exit or end of reveal, but this is a game mechanic, not a clinical safety guarantee. Players are encouraged to take breaks based on their own discretion rather than waiting for an external signal.
No Cash Value and Wallet Mechanics
All stakes and returns are calculated in virtual coins that hold no real-world monetary value. The initial balance is one thousand coins, with a manual refill option available only when the balance drops below ten coins during idle time. This refill sets the balance to one thousand rather than adding to the remaining amount. Fractional carry is stored separately in hundredths, while whole coins are saved in local storage to persist across sessions.
Unfinished Rounds and Data Storage
Reloading the page discards any unfinished round without refund or resume, meaning the deducted stake is lost. The wallet data, including whole coins and pending flags, is stored locally in the browser. Third-party analytics and font requests may occur, but the demo itself requires no account creation or external payment processing. Clearing browser cache removes this local data, effectively resetting the wallet to its initial state.
Frequently asked questions
Can I win real money in the Ferry Locks demo?
No, the demo uses virtual coins that have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn or converted to real currency.
What happens if I reload the page during a round?
The unfinished round is discarded without a refund, and the deducted stake is lost. You must start a new round with a fresh stake.
