Since gambling regulations vary across different states in India, please check the official terms to confirm availability in your region. This demo is purely for entertainment, and all outcomes are based on virtual mechanics, not real financial settlement.
Game Rules and Layout Constraints
King Hub Witness uses a 4×4 board (cells 1–16) with a fixed number of hazards. The hidden layout is sampled uniformly from the published constraint support and remains fixed for the entire round; it is never redrawn.
The Constraint: At least one hazard in the eight-neighbour king graph is adjacent to every other hazard. Other hazards need not be adjacent to each other.
Support Counts: The number of valid layouts (support count) depends on the hazard count selected:
- 3 Hazards: 132 layouts
- 4 Hazards: 233 layouts
- 5 Hazards: 272 layouts
What Indian Players Should Check Before Playing
Before engaging with the ka9 demo, readers in India should verify the current status of the game in their specific state. Gambling laws differ significantly between states, so what is permissible in one region may not be in another. Always check the operator's website for the latest regulatory updates.
Regarding payments, while this is a demo, you should confirm if the operator supports popular local methods like UPI, Paytm, or PhonePe for any future real-money transitions. Ensure the site uses secure connections. Here are key safety steps:
- Check if your state allows online gaming or gambling activities.
- Verify that the operator clearly states the demo is free and uses virtual coins.
- Confirm payment options like UPI, Paytm, or PhonePe are listed in the cashier section.
- Ensure you are playing on the correct domain (ka9.top) to avoid phishing.
Scoring and Gross Payout
The gross payout is calculated from the exact posterior probability over consistent layouts. Each selected safe cell is priced from this posterior.
- Initial Quote: Gross value starts at 0.97 times the stake.
- Dynamic Pricing: The value becomes the current value divided by that cell’s safe probability.
- Known-Safe Cells: Leave value unchanged.
- Proven Hazards: Are disabled and cannot be selected.
The live gross quote is calculated as: 0.97 × (Original Support Count / Surviving Support Count). A hazard returns zero.
Settlement and Collection Rules
Collection: You may collect after at least one safe pick. Collection is automatic only when no eligible uncertain move remains.
Blocking: A choice with a prospective quote above 1,000× the original stake is disabled without changing state.
Return: Every revealed-information strategy has a 97% expected gross return in the fair support model. This is not a win probability.
Virtual Wallet and Balance
Initial Balance: 1000 virtual coins.
Restoration: If the idle balance falls below 10, you can manually restore it. This action sets the balance to exactly 1000, preserving any fractional carry.
Fractional Carry: Persists through settlement, manual refill, and reload.
Reload: An unfinished round ends without refund or resume if the page is reloaded.
Controls and Modes
Stake Options: 10, 20, 50, or 100 virtual coins.
Locked Controls: Stake, mode, and refill are locked while active. Sound remains available.
Unfinished Reload: Does not receive a refund or resume capability.
Privacy and Storage
Storage: Game source uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry. This does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing.
Third-Party Requests: The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet; actual full-site network capture remains pending.
Account Flow: None. No login or payment flow is observed in the demo.
