For readers in India, remember that this is a free demo using virtual coins. It does not involve real money deposits or withdrawals here. Always verify if online gaming is permitted in your specific state, as laws vary across India.
How Support and Payouts Work
The board has 4×4 cells and exactly 3, 4 or 5 mines. Read each column from top to bottom as a four-bit integer: mine = 1, safe = 0, weights 8, 4, 2, 1. From left to right, the column values must satisfy c0 ≤ c1 ≥ c2 ≤ c3; equality is allowed. Draws are uniform among boards satisfying both this rule and the selected mine count. Initial support sizes are respectively 150, 464 and 1053. Revealing a safe cell filters the compatible support.
After a safe reveal, gross quote = 0.96 × captured stake × initial support / current compatible support. The stake is deducted when the round starts. A mine returns zero gross. Manual banking is available after at least one safe reveal. Certain mines and cells whose safe quote would exceed 1000× stake are disabled. All safe cells revealed or no eligible cell remaining automatically banks the current quote. A certain-safe cell can remain eligible. With five mines, singleton support would quote 1010.88×, so that above-cap transition is disabled.
What Indian Players Should Check
Since AQ9 offers a free demo, you are not depositing real Indian Rupees (INR) directly into this browser window. However, you should still verify how the operator handles real-money versions if you choose to play elsewhere. Always check the official AQ9 site for current details on accepted payment methods like UPI, Paytm, or PhonePe, as these are common in India. Also, confirm if the brand holds a valid licence for your region, since gambling laws differ by state. For safety, ensure you are using a secure connection and that the demo data is cleared properly when you close the tab. Do not assume the demo reflects real-world payout speeds or limits.
- Verify state-specific online gambling legality in India.
- Check if AQ9 supports UPI or Paytm for real money play.
- Confirm licensing status on the operator's official site.
Wallet and Balance Restoration
The demo wallet starts at 1000. A manual refill is available only when idle and the balance is below 10, setting the balance to exactly 1000. Fractional carry persists across settlement, refill, and reload. Settled balances persist locally. An unfinished round ends without refund or resume on reload.
Controls and Modes
The board is 4x4. Mine count choices are limited to exact nonempty support configurations. Captured stake and mine count are locked during the round. Manual bank becomes available after at least one safe reveal. No auto queue exists; controls are manual.
Stopping Rules and Auto-Bank
A mine ends the round with zero gross. Manual bank is available after a safe reveal, when all safe cells are revealed, or when no eligible cell remains. The cap guard disables individual transitions above 1000x before a reveal.
Mathematical Evidence and RTP
Simulation measurements are supporting observations, not the mathematical payout law. The exact gross RTP is 0.96 across all modes. Below are selected measured RTPs:
| Mines | Policy | Measured RTP |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 0 | 96.03% |
| 3 | 4 | 95.63% |
| 4 | 4 | 94.61% |
| 5 | 5 | 96.51% |
Privacy and Storage
The demo stores balance and fractional carry in browser localStorage. It has no account or payment form; this does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. Pages request Google Fonts and Statinside counter 44. Those requests may convey the IP address and browser request information to those services. Server retention and other processing are not established here. Clearing this site’s localStorage or site data removes balance and carry; clearing only cached files may leave them intact.
