Before you start, verify if the operator accepts PHP and common local methods like GCash or Maya. Also, confirm if they hold a valid license from PAGCOR to ensure your safety while playing online.
How Scoring and the Quote Work
The game uses twelve fair switches to form all directed nonloop edges on vertices 0 through 3. The reward counts simple directed paths from 0 to 3 with no repeated vertices. Switches are revealed in row-major edge or matrix order.
The live gross quote is calculated as (0.97 × conditional expected terminal reward) / initial expected reward. This quote may rise or fall as switches are revealed. The 3% opening deduction appears only once in the quote. Every policy using only revealed information has a 97% expected gross return.
What Filipino Players Should Check Before Playing
When using the m9skm demo in the Philippines, your experience is limited to virtual coins. However, you should still verify key details before engaging further. First, check the currency settings. While the demo uses virtual units, real-money versions may support PHP (Philippine Peso). Look for a currency selector in the account settings or the payment page.
Next, verify accepted payment methods. The demo does not use real money, but if you switch to real play, check if the operator supports GCash or Maya, which are popular in the Philippines. You can find this in the "Cashier" or "Payments" section of the main site. Also, confirm the regulatory status. Ensure the operator is licensed by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) for local compliance. You can usually find this in the footer of the website.
- Check for PHP currency support in account settings.
- Verify GCash or Maya availability in the payment gateway.
- Confirm PAGCOR licensing in the site footer.
- Ensure you are 18 years old or older to play.
Stopping Rules and Auto-Collection
Manual collection is available after the first reveal. Auto-thresholds are set at 1.2, 2, 3, or 5. These thresholds collect the actual full first-crossing quote. If a threshold is unreachable, the system waits for the terminal result.
- Zero Quote: Ends the round immediately.
- Positive Final Quote: Settles automatically at the finite trace cap.
Auto thresholds settle the full actual first crossing quote before later zero events occur.
Wallet and Balance Restoration
The demo starts with an initial balance of 1000 virtual coins. If the idle balance drops below 10, it may be manually restored to exactly 1000. This restoration sets the balance to 1000; it does not add coins on top of the existing balance.
Fractional carry persists through settlement, manual refill, and reload. The local settled balance, including zero, persists in the browser's localStorage.
Reloading and Unfinished Rounds
Reloading the page does not refund an unfinished round. If you reload while a round is active, that round ends without refund or resume. Progress is not resumable across reloads for unfinished rounds.
During active play, stake, mode, and refill are locked. Sound remains available.
Modes and Controls
You can select one active stake: 10, 20, 50, or 100. The controls are locked during busy settings to prevent changes while a round is in progress. The game name remains Directed Route Census.
Privacy and Storage
The game source uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. The demo has no account login flow and no payment flow. Virtual coins have no cash value.
Frequently asked questions
How is the reward calculated in Directed Route Census?
The reward counts simple directed paths from vertex 0 to vertex 3, with no repeated vertices. Twelve fair switches form all directed nonloop edges on vertices 0..3.
What does the live gross quote represent?
The live gross quote is 0.97 times the conditional expected terminal reward, divided by its initial expected reward. It may rise or fall. The 3% opening deduction appears only once in the quote.
When can I collect manually?
Manual collection is available after the first reveal. A zero quote ends the round immediately; a positive final quote settles automatically.
How do auto-thresholds work?
Auto thresholds (1.2, 2, 3, or 5) collect the actual full first-crossing quote. If an unreachable threshold is set, it waits for the terminal result. Auto thresholds settle the full actual first crossing quote before later zero events.
What happens if the quote hits zero?
A zero quote ends the round immediately. A positive final quote settles automatically.
What are the available stakes?
One active stake can be chosen: 10, 20, 50, or 100. These settings are locked during active play.
How does wallet restoration work?
If the idle balance is below 10, it may be restored to exactly 1000. This is a manual action that sets the balance to 1000. It is not an automatic replenishment.
Does fractional carry persist?
Yes, fractional carry persists through settlement, manual refill, and reload.
What happens if I reload the page during a round?
