Original Grid Rules and Gross Credits
Column Quota Mines uses a four-by-four grid. Every occupied column has the same positive number of hazards; columns with no hazards are allowed. Select four, six or eight hazards before starting. The numbers of permitted layouts for those presets are 476, 960 and 1302. Each permitted layout is equally likely, and the selected layout stays fixed throughout its round.
Hitting a hazard ends the round with zero credit. Initial gross collection value is 0.97 times captured stake. Each safe reveal divides CURRENT gross collection value by that cell’s exact conditional safe probability among remaining legal layouts. A cell proven safe adds no multiplier; a proven hazard cannot be selected. Collection is available after at least one safe reveal. Individual choices exceeding 1000 times captured stake are disabled; exactly 1000 remains permitted, and collection occurs automatically when no eligible uncertain choice remains.
Every permitted stopping policy has exact unrounded expected gross credit of 97% of stake. This is not a winning frequency or a promise about a short session. The rules belong to this simulator and establish no external game’s odds or certification.
Virtual Coins and the Scope of the Guide
The simulator starts with 1000 free virtual coins. They cannot be purchased, withdrawn or exchanged for money. An idle balance below ten can be restored manually to exactly 1000, rather than increased by 1000, and fractional-credit carry is preserved. Refill is unavailable during active play.
The guide hosts its own original software and information. A name, snippet or matching logo is not evidence identifying a separate business. No business support channel, licence, app or financial facility associated with the query has been independently confirmed. The guide does not supply a registration or payment portal for an external service.
Browser Storage and Third-Party Requests
Settled wallet balance and fractional payout carry persist in browser localStorage. Reloading does not reset those stored values. An unfinished round ends on reload without refund. Clearing cache alone may leave localStorage intact, so check which site-data categories a browser removal action covers.
Pages request Google Fonts and Statinside analytics. Server or CDN logs and third-party requests may expose IP, device and request information. Complete third-party processing, anonymity and cookie lifetimes have not been established. The absence of account or personal forms is not a promise that no information about a visit is processed.
Availability, Outcomes and Age Restriction
The guide and simulator are provided without a warranty of a particular outcome or uninterrupted access. A virtual wallet creates no cash claim or prize obligation. A browser interruption does not guarantee recovery of an unfinished round, and the expected-credit percentage cannot guarantee an individual result.
The guide’s restriction is 18 and over. Legal ages and requirements vary by location; this page does not determine the applicable law or authorize an external provider. Take breaks and stop if play is uncomfortable or affects other activities. Seek qualified local assistance through independently identifiable sources when needed; the guide does not provide a medical diagnosis.
