Information and original demo
The guide explains an independently authored simulator. The 18G search name does not establish affiliation with another operator. No external licence, payment arrangement, app authenticity or legal permission is granted or certified by this page.
Virtual coins only
The demo balance is a browser-side count of virtual coins with no cash value. There is no cash redemption, deposit or withdrawal in the simulator. The balance and results cannot be treated as an external financial account or entitlement.
Rules of the original simulator
A four-by-four board is chosen uniformly from legal placements of the selected 3, 4 or 5 mines. Within each row, mines form at most one contiguous block; an empty row is allowed. The board remains fixed during the round. After safe reveals, gross quote = 0.96 × captured stake × initial legal-board count / remaining compatible-board count. Each safe reveal keeps only boards where that cell is safe. The captured stake is fixed at start and does not grow as cells are revealed. A mine ends the round with zero return. Cells that are certainly mines are disabled. A cell is also disabled if its safe outcome would quote more than 1,000 times the stake. When no eligible reveal remains, the current quote is collected automatically. Manual collection becomes available after the first safe reveal.
Persistence and unfinished activity
Starting subtracts the captured stake. Reloading an unfinished round ends it without refund or resume. Settled whole balance and fractional carry remain in localStorage. Removing that storage deletes the saved wallet; cached-file removal alone may not.
Restore and interface limits
Restore is manual while idle with a whole balance below 10. It sets that balance to 1,000 and preserves carry. Stake and mine count are locked during a round; sound remains available. Restore is not a payment transaction or erasure of all site data.
Audience and external questions
The guide’s intended audience is adults aged 18 or over; this is a site policy rather than a claim about current law in any country. Questions about an outside operator, account or app need separate evidence. Read the privacy and responsible-use pages for the scope of browser storage and practical time limits.
Frequently asked questions
Are demo coins redeemable?
No. The displayed wallet is a virtual-coin browser record, not a financial entitlement.
Can reload undo a stake?
No. An unfinished round ends without refund; its debit remains reflected in the stored balance.
Do these terms apply to another business?
No. They describe this guide and original simulator, not an outside operator’s account or services.
