Game Modes and Controls
Harbour Lanterns has one mode. Choose Turquoise, Coral, or Gold and pick a stake of 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 coins. Click Light lanterns to start. All controls disable while the round runs. No autoplay or mid-round stop exists. The game settles after 650 milliseconds.
Settlement and Math
Three lanterns choose colors uniformly. Matches pay gross multipliers of 0, 0.90, 1.80, or 4.32 for zero to three matches. The expected gross return is 96%. Settlement splits into whole coins and a fractional carry. Reload loses the unfinished stake without refund.
Wallet and Persistence
A new wallet starts with 1,000 whole coins. The demo saves balance and fractional carry in browser local storage when available. Manual refill sets the balance to 1,000 only while idle below five whole coins, and keeps carry. No account or cashier is present. Clearing cache differs from deleting this site’s local storage.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I reload during a round?
The debited stake is lost. No round is saved, so there is no resume or refund when the page reloads.
How is the fractional carry handled?
Hundredths are saved in a carry field. They add to the next gross settlement. Only whole coins are credited; remainders stay in carry.
Is this an official app or cash game?
No account or cashier exists. Coins have no cash value. The demo runs in the browser without an APK or download.
