The demo uses virtual coins with no cash value. A manual refill while idle sets the balance to exactly 1000. Data persists in local storage.
Game Mechanics: Row No 101
The game uses a four-by-four board with a selected mine count. Boards are drawn uniformly from all legal configurations satisfying the constraint: no row contains the contiguous pattern 101. This defines an exact finite board support.
- Support & Probability: Draws are uniform over this support, not all unconstrained boards. Safe reveals filter the support.
- Gross Quote: After any safe path, the gross cashout is calculated as 0.96 × captured stake × initial support size / current compatible support size.
- Disabled Cells: Cells with zero conditional safe probability are disabled. Cells whose safe quote would exceed 1000 times the stake are also disabled.
- Auto-Banking: When no eligible reveal remains, the current quote is automatically banked. The 1000x cap is enforced per transition.
What Malaysian Players Should Check
For readers in Malaysia, understanding the local context is key when engaging with V78. While the demo game itself is free, you should verify how the operator handles real-money transactions if you decide to play elsewhere. Always check the official V78 website for the latest accepted payment methods, such as Touch 'n Go eWallet or DuitNow, which are popular in Malaysia. Note that the currency displayed may be MYR, but confirm this directly with the operator.
Regarding legality, gambling is tightly restricted by national law in Malaysia, with exceptions for certain licensed entities. Ensure you are of legal age and playing responsibly. To ensure safety, verify the site's security certificate and check if the operator holds a valid licence from a recognized jurisdiction, as this is not guaranteed for the demo version. Use these steps to protect your data and funds.
- Check if Touch 'n Go eWallet or DuitNow are supported.
- Confirm if the currency is listed in MYR.
- Verify the operator's licence status online.
Controls and Modes
The demo offers specific controls and modes:
- Board Size: Four-by-four grid.
- Mine Counts: Choices are restricted to the exact nonempty support configurations in the source.
- Banking: Manual bank becomes available only after at least one safe reveal.
- Refill: No auto queue. Manual idle-only refill is available.

Payout and Settlement

- Cap Guard: Transitions exceeding 1000x stake are disabled before a reveal.
- End of Round: Ends on manual bank, all safe cells revealed, or no eligible cell remaining.
Mathematical Evidence
Simulation measurements support the mathematical model but do not replace it. The exact gross RTP is 0.96 across modes.

Wallet and Persistence
The demo wallet operates locally:
- Initial Balance: 1000 virtual coins.
- Refill Rule: Manual refill while idle sets the balance to exactly 1000. It preserves fractional carry.
- Restoration: Eligible when balance is below 10 and the user is idle.
- Persistence: Settled balance and fractional carry persist locally. Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload.
- Unfinished Round: Reloading during an active round ends it without refund or resume.
Privacy and Storage
Observed data handling:
- Storage: Source uses browser localStorage for settled demo balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing.
- Third Parties: The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet. Actual browser request capture is pending; this is not a claim that other requests or processing are absent.
- Account: No account or payment controls in the demo do not prove that no personal data are processed.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to download an app to play?
No. This browser demo needs no installation and no app is verified. It runs directly in your browser.
How does the refill work?
A manual refill while idle sets the integer wallet to exactly 1000 and preserves fractional carry. It does not add coins or automatically replenish.
Is my data anonymous?
The demo uses local storage for balance and carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. Clearing cached files may leave local storage.
Is V78 legal in Malaysia?
