How Copper Steps Reels Work
The game features three independent reels displaying values from zero to three. Each reel has an equal probability of landing on any value. To calculate the score, the first reel value is multiplied by one, the second by two, and the third by three. These products are summed and then divided by four. The remainder of this division determines the final score, which ranges from zero to three.
Target Selection and Winning Conditions
Before spinning, you must choose a target score of zero, one, two, or three. A match between your target and the calculated score results in a win. There are exactly sixteen winning outcomes out of sixty-four possible combinations, giving each target a precise win probability of twenty-five percent. This structure ensures that every target has an equal theoretical chance of winning.
Payouts, Stakes and Settlement
You can select stakes of five, ten, twenty-five or fifty virtual coins. A match pays a gross return of three point eight times your stake, which includes your original stake. A miss returns zero. The round settles automatically after six hundred and fifty milliseconds. The game maintains a fractional carry system where integer tenths persist between rounds, though whole coins are credited to your balance.
Wallet Rules and Balance Management
The demo starts with a balance of one thousand coins. A stake is deducted once at the start of a spin. If your balance drops below five coins while idle, a manual set button appears to restore your balance to one thousand. Reloading the page before settlement abandons the round without a refund. Your balance and carry are saved to local storage, but unfinished rounds do not resume upon reload.
Controls and Game Flow
Use the stake and target selectors to adjust your settings, which default to ten coins and target zero. Click the spin button to start a round; it disables during the spin to prevent duplicate bets. There is no auto-spin or manual stop feature. Closing the browser or reloading the page while the round is active means you forfeit that specific spin without recovery.
Questions and answers
What is the return to player (RTP) for Copper Steps?
The exact theoretical gross RTP is ninety-five percent for all four targets. This is a theoretical expectation, not a guarantee for any finite set of rounds.
How is the final score calculated?
The score is the remainder of the sum of the first reel plus twice the second reel plus three times the third reel, divided by four.
Does reloading the page refund my stake?
No. Reloading clears the busy flag and abandons the round. The deducted stake is lost, and the game does not resume or refund.
How do I restore my balance?
A manual set button appears when your balance is below five coins and you are idle. Clicking it sets your balance to one thousand coins.
