How Orbit Sum Works
Two independent pointers draw values from zero to six uniformly. Their sum is calculated modulo seven, resulting in a uniform distribution from zero to six. Players select an arc of one, two, or three positions starting at zero. If the result falls within the chosen arc, the player receives a gross payout of 6.72x, 3.36x, or 2.24x respectively. Results outside the arc return zero. The game uses a fixed stake structure with options for ten, twenty-five, fifty, or one hundred coins.
Wallet and Settlement Rules
The stake is deducted once at the start of the round and persists before any animation begins. Gross returns include the original stake, which differs from net profit. Payouts are computed in hundredths, with fractional carry saved separately. Whole coins are credited, and the remainder stays in the fractional pool. Manual balance restoration is available only when idle and the balance falls below ten coins, setting the balance to one thousand coins rather than adding that amount. Reloads discard unfinished rounds without refund or resumption.
Site Facts and Privacy
The whole-coin balance and fractional hundredths are saved in this site’s localStorage. Reloading keeps those amounts but resets controls and discards an unfinished round without refund or resumed settlement. Removing this site’s localStorage clears the saved wallet; clearing the browser cache is a separate operation. A manual refill is available only between rounds when the balance is below 10; it sets the balance to 1,000 and keeps the fractional carry.
Frequently asked questions
What is the expected return of Orbit Sum?
The expected return is ninety-six percent. Simulations confirm this with results close to ninety-six percent for all arc choices.
How is the stake handled during a round?
The stake is deducted immediately upon starting the round. If you reload the page, the stake remains deducted, and the round is discarded without refund.
