HD Dice & Advanced Play

Play with virtual HD Coins or set conditions for automatic play.

How to use it
  1. Choose Manual or Auto. Turn on Advanced Play when you want custom triggers.
  2. Enter your bet, win chance and Roll Over/Under direction.
  3. Add ordered rules for wins, losses, streaks or thresholds; set stop conditions and test the result.
How to read the result: The roll, payout, profit and play balance update after every virtual bet.
Keep in mind: Advanced Play changes bet amounts and chances after outcomes; it cannot remove the built-in house edge.

Dice Calculators

Explore Dice chance, payout, bankroll and loss-streak math before testing a strategy.

How to use it
  1. Open the calculators.
  2. Enter the inputs described on the calculator.
  3. Read the result and its units; adjust one setting at a time.
How to read the result: A calculation is mathematical context—not a prediction that a random session will succeed.

Performance Analytics & Test Runs

Review recorded play history, named test runs and session replays.

How to use it
  1. Open Analytics or the Test Runs tab.
  2. Choose a recorded test or session.
  3. Inspect its measured outcomes and open a replay when available.
How to read the result: Recorded gameplay is separate from research-only simulations.
Open Performance Analytics & Test Runs
05Play & accounts

Leaderboards & Championships

Review the platform’s virtual gameplay competitions and earned achievements.

How to use it
  1. Open the leaderboards.
  2. Select the available ranking period or category.
  3. Inspect your position, and view earned championship displays on profiles.
How to read the result: Only server-recorded achievements count as earned; decorative profile styles do not award trophies.
Open Leaderboards & Championships
06Research & strategy

Strategy Vault

Organize your own saved Advanced Play strategies.

How to use it
  1. Save a strategy from HD Dice or open an existing one.
  2. Favorite, tag, move into a folder, duplicate or archive it.
  3. Review version history to restore a previous saved definition.
How to read the result: Vault versions preserve rule definitions; starting bankroll, bet and win chance can be selected separately when running research.
Open Strategy Vault
07Research & strategy

Strategy vs. Strategy Arena

Compare two to four strategies under shared starting settings and matching simulated roll streams.

How to use it
  1. Select two to four Vault strategies.
  2. Set the same starting bankroll, base bet, chance, direction and session limits.
  3. Run the matchup and compare profit, survival, target completion and drawdown.
How to read the result: The “leader” changes depending on the metric. A matching roll can count as a win for one strategy and a loss for another if their rules change the chance or direction.
Open Strategy vs. Strategy Arena
08Research & strategy

Advanced Risk Engine

Estimate bankroll pressure, drawdown, streak exposure and exhaustion under simulated sessions.

How to use it
  1. Select a strategy and starting conditions.
  2. Choose the number of sessions, plays, optional profit target and stop-loss.
  3. Compare exhaustion, survival, drawdown and bankroll scenarios.
How to read the result: The 95% upper estimate is a statistical bound based on the sample; even 0 observed exhaustions does not prove zero real risk.
Open Advanced Risk Engine
09Research & strategy

Monte Carlo Lab

Run many virtual sessions to see a distribution of possible outcomes.

How to use it
  1. Select a saved strategy and choose the bankroll and play settings.
  2. Choose how many sessions to simulate and run the test.
  3. Review percentiles, outcome charts, target rates and drawdowns; optionally pin the completed test to Research Notebook.
How to read the result: Average profit can be negative while median profit is positive if a minority of sessions has large losses.
Open Monte Carlo Lab
10Research & strategy

Stress Test Lab

Find how a strategy reacts when difficult outcome patterns are deliberately introduced.

How to use it
  1. Choose a strategy and the number of virtual sessions.
  2. Set the loss-streak length, then compare normal, early, middle, late, clustered and alternating patterns.
  3. Check exhaustion and how often the complete planned stress actually occurred.
How to read the result: Forced losses are a what-if test, not their natural probability. An early-stopped session may never reach a later stress event.
Open Stress Test Lab
11Research & strategy

Parameter Sweep & Heatmaps

Compare grids of starting settings or an existing loss-increase rule.

How to use it
  1. Select one saved strategy.
  2. Choose two variables and ranges (win chance, base bet, or an existing loss-increase percentage).
  3. Run the grid, pick a color metric and inspect each square against the untouched strategy.
How to read the result: The heatmap colors rank combinations within that particular sample and selected metric only.
Open Parameter Sweep & Heatmaps
12Research & strategy

HD4K Strategy Optimizer

Find promising settings for one chosen objective, then retest the leaders on fresh rolls.

How to use it
  1. Choose your strategy, two adjustable variables and the objective.
  2. Run discovery tests and review the top five ranked candidates.
  3. Compare their independent verification results and, if desired, save a new copy to load in HD Dice.
How to read the result: A top-ranked candidate may fail its fresh retest. Optimization does not defeat the house edge or guarantee profit.
Open HD4K Strategy Optimizer
13Research & strategy

Strategy Robustness & Sensitivity

Check whether small changes around your exact settings cause large changes in one performance measure.

How to use it
  1. Choose a strategy and two settings to vary slightly.
  2. Select the metric and the acceptable worsening tolerance.
  3. Inspect the 5×5 stability map and the unchanged middle square.
How to read the result: “Within tolerance” means that one selected metric did not worsen beyond your chosen limit in this simulation; it does not mean “safe.”
Open Strategy Robustness & Sensitivity
14Research & strategy

Advanced Analytics Explorer

Filter and compare recorded HD4K Play activity rather than hypothetical research runs.

How to use it
  1. Set the date, game, strategy, mode, outcome or wager filters.
  2. Review profits, win rate, yield, bet sizes and session grouping.
  3. Use a previous-period comparison or inspect a session; export the loaded matching events.
How to read the result: Reports analyze up to the latest 2,500 matching events. If more match, counts show the full match but statistics cover only the loaded subset.
Open Advanced Analytics Explorer
15Research & strategy

Strategy DNA & Scorecards

Create a visual profile of the different pressures a strategy faced in simulation.

How to use it
  1. Select one strategy or two to compare.
  2. Run repeatable sessions under matching start conditions.
  3. Review drawdown, streak, recovery, volatility, capital and survival dimensions with their actual measurements.
How to read the result: The first five visual bars represent greater pressure when longer; survival is the reverse. They are not a combined probability or an overall “safety score.”
Open Strategy DNA & Scorecards
16Research & strategy

Research Notebook

Write down experiments and pin selected Monte Carlo test summaries.

How to use it
  1. Create an entry with your goal, changes and observations.
  2. Connect the note to a saved strategy and, optionally, a Vault version.
  3. Pin useful entries or use “Pin to Research Notebook” after a Monte Carlo run.
How to read the result: Pinned test summaries include settings and results, but not every generated roll. Notes are private to the account.
Open Research Notebook
17Research & strategy

Professional Reports

Make a branded, printable report of one or two strategies and their simulation outcomes.

How to use it
  1. Choose a saved strategy, or two, and the simulation settings.
  2. Generate the results and review the report preview and research notes.
  3. Print to Save as PDF, download standalone HTML, or export statistics to CSV.
How to read the result: PDF uses your browser’s print dialog. The HTML and PDF files contain strategy details, so share only intentionally.

21Community & publishing

Strategy Sharing & Private Links

Let others inspect a published snapshot without giving them access to your Vault.

How to use it
  1. In Strategy Vault choose Share on one strategy.
  2. Choose Private, Link Only, or Public and copy the share URL when enabled.
  3. A signed-in visitor can Save a Copy; switch back to Private to revoke the current link.
How to read the result: The shared snapshot does not expose private Vault notes, folder history or balances. Editing your original does not silently update its published snapshot.
Open Strategy Sharing & Private Links
22Community & publishing

Community Strategy Library

Search only strategies that their owners intentionally published as Public.

How to use it
  1. Search or sort the publicly shared snapshots.
  2. Open a preview or run the standardized research benchmark.
  3. Save an independent copy to your Vault if you want to modify and test the rules.
How to read the result: “Most saved” counts distinct members who copied a public strategy; it does not rank profitability. The fixed benchmark is a simulated sample, not a guarantee.

Statistics & terminology dictionary

Definitions reflect HD4K Play’s actual research and analytics behavior.

60 terms
Showing 60 definitions

Advanced Play condition

Controls & research

An ordered rule that reacts to a win, loss, streak, bet count or another threshold. Rules can reset, set, add to or change a bet or win chance, change direction, or stop play.

Average (mean)

Statistics

Add all observed values, then divide by the number of observations. Large wins or losses can move the average sharply.

Example: Profits +20, +20 and −100 HD: mean = −20 HD.

Average maximum drawdown

Risk

The average of each simulated session’s worst drop from its own earlier balance peak.

Balance exhaustion

Risk

A session that stops because the next required bet is larger than its remaining play balance. It does not necessarily mean its balance reached exactly zero.

Bankroll

Controls & research

The starting virtual HD Coin balance available to fund a session or simulation.

Bankroll survival

Risk

The share of tested sessions that did not stop for insufficient balance or invalid next settings. It is not the share that finished with a profit.

Base bet

Controls & research

The initial bet amount chosen for a session; reset-to-base rules return to this amount.

Capital pressure

Risk

How large the strategy’s high-end bet amounts became compared with its starting bankroll. Strategy DNA uses the 90th-percentile largest bet.

Chance / win chance

Controls & research

The current configured percentage target for a winning Dice roll. Advanced Play can change it during a session.

Condition order

Controls & research

The order Advanced Play rules are evaluated. Two strategies with the same rules in a different order can produce different bet sequences.

Confidence bound (95% upper)

Statistics

An estimate of the upper end of a risk rate supported by the sample and its calculation assumptions. It is not a guarantee or an absolute maximum.

CSV

Accounts & sharing

A plain-text table format that can be opened in spreadsheet programs. A CSV export contains the rows included by that particular tool, not necessarily all account history.

Deterministic / repeatable test

Controls & research

A simulation whose outcome repeats when the seed, strategy, settings and engine rules are kept identical.

Drawdown

Risk

The fall from an earlier high balance to a later lower balance during a session. Maximum drawdown is the largest such drop.

Example: From a peak of 150 HD down to 120 HD is a 30 HD drawdown.

Ending balance

Outcomes

The bankroll remaining when the session ends.

Exhaustion rate

Risk

The number of simulated sessions stopped by insufficient balance divided by the total sessions tested.

Exposure / full stress exposure

Risk

Whether a session continued long enough to encounter every forced outcome planned by Stress Test Lab. Early-stopped sessions may have only partial exposure.

First streak of N

Controls & research

A one-time trigger for the first qualifying run of N consecutive wins or losses in a streak cycle; its adjustment affects subsequent play.

Fresh verification / holdout

Statistics

New roll sequences used to retest Optimizer candidates after they were selected. This helps reveal candidates that looked good due to random luck in the initial batch.

HD Coins / HD

Accounts & sharing

Virtual units used on HD4K Play. HD is the short label in dense research charts. HD Coins have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for money or prizes.

Heatmap

Controls & research

A color-coded grid where each square represents a tested combination of two variables. The colors compare the selected metric within the tested sample.

House edge

Controls & research

The mathematical advantage built into a game’s payout model. HD Dice research uses a nominal return multiplier of 99 divided by configured win chance, equivalent to a nominal 1% edge before discrete-roll and rounding effects.

Invalid settings / invalid stop

Risk

A run that ends because a next bet or chance would violate the simulation’s allowed limits; it is tracked separately from running out of usable balance.

Link Only

Accounts & sharing

A shared strategy snapshot that can be opened using its exact link but does not appear in the searchable public community directory.

Longest losing streak

Risk

The greatest number of losses in a row observed within a session or across a collection of tested sessions, depending on the displayed label.

Max-bets completion rate

Outcomes

The share of simulated sessions that reached the configured maximum number of plays, rather than ending earlier for a target, stop-loss or another reason.

Maximum plays

Controls & research

A per-session limit on the number of simulated rolls attempted. A session can end earlier due to targets, stop rules, insufficient balance or invalid settings.

Median

Statistics

The middle outcome after results are sorted. Roughly half of the observed outcomes lie on either side. It can differ sharply from the average.

Monte Carlo simulation

Controls & research

Many independent virtual sessions run under the same rules to examine the spread of possible outcomes instead of relying on a single run.

Net profit

Outcomes

Ending balance minus starting balance; negative values mean a loss of HD Coins in that session.

Example: Start 100 HD, end 125 HD → +25 HD net profit.

Net yield / return on wagered

Statistics

Recorded net profit divided by total amount wagered, expressed as a percentage. It is not the same as a win rate.

Outcome distribution

Statistics

A chart or table showing how many tested sessions fell into different profit, drawdown or length ranges.

P10 / lower 10%

Statistics

A lower-end sample percentile: about 10% of observed values are at or below this result. It is not the worst possible outcome.

P50 / 50th percentile

Statistics

The middle value in sorted results (median).

P90 / upper 10%

Statistics

The 90th-percentile threshold: about 10% of observed values are at or above it. For drawdown, larger values indicate greater downside pressure.

Payout multiplier

Controls & research

A factor that converts a winning stake into the payout including the returned stake. Nominal Dice multiplier = 99 ÷ win chance (%) before discrete-roll/rounding effects.

Example: 49.5% chance gives a nominal 2× payout multiplier.

Peak balance

Outcomes

The highest balance reached so far within a session. Drops from prior peaks are used to measure drawdown.

Profit rate / profitable sessions

Outcomes

The share of sessions that ended with net profit above zero. This is different from the share of individual bets that won.

Profit target

Controls & research

A user-set positive net-profit threshold at which a research session stops when reached. A target-hit rate only exists when a target is enabled.

Public share

Accounts & sharing

An intentionally published strategy snapshot that can appear in the Community Strategy Library and be inspected by visitors.

Recovery

Risk

A return to a prior balance peak after a decline. Average recovery bets counts only dips that did recover; it does not imply all losses were recovered.

Recovery demand

Risk

The difficulty of getting back to an earlier peak. Strategy DNA displays the percentage of sessions ending with an unrecovered drop.

Research seed

Controls & research

A text value used to generate repeatable pseudo-random simulation streams. It is not a prediction of live future rolls or a live game seed.

Risk of ruin

Risk

In these HD4K simulations, an estimate based on how often sessions cannot afford the next required bet within the tested time horizon—not a lifetime mathematical certainty.

Roll Over / Roll Under

Controls & research

A Dice win condition: win if the roll is strictly above the Over target or strictly below the Under target. Equality is not a win in the research engine.

Save a Copy

Accounts & sharing

Makes your own editable Vault strategy from a published snapshot. The creator’s original and your copy have separate ownership and version history.

Session

Controls & research

A sequence of virtual bets run under chosen settings until an exit condition occurs or the maximum play count is reached.

Session length

Outcomes

How many bets were actually completed before a session stopped. A maximum-plays setting is an upper limit, not a promise that every session uses all plays.

Session survival

Risk

The percentage of sessions not terminated by insufficient balance or invalid play settings. A surviving session can still lose HD Coins or stop at a stop-loss.

Simulation sample size

Statistics

How many virtual sessions were tested. Larger samples usually make estimated rates less noisy, but cannot guarantee outcomes or remove model limitations.

Stop-loss

Controls & research

A configured negative net-profit threshold that ends a session after reaching the selected loss amount. A stop-loss is not a limit on possible one-bet slippage or a guarantee.

Stop-loss hit rate

Outcomes

The number of simulated sessions that ended by reaching the enabled stop-loss, divided by all sessions tested.

Strategy snapshot

Accounts & sharing

A copy of strategy settings at the moment of publishing or saving a test. Later edits to the original do not silently change it.

Strategy version

Accounts & sharing

A stored restore point for the saved Advanced Play rules. Version history lets you inspect or restore earlier definitions.

Survival vs profitability

Risk

Survival asks whether the strategy kept enough balance and valid settings to avoid a forced stop; profitability asks whether ending balance exceeded starting balance. They are not interchangeable.

Target-hit rate

Outcomes

Number of sessions that ended because the enabled profit target was reached divided by the number of tested sessions.

Total wagered

Outcomes

The sum of all amounts staked across the bets included in the record or simulation. It is not necessarily money lost.

Verification benchmark

Statistics

A standardized set of simulation settings used to compare public community strategies; its results are sample-specific rather than proof of performance.

Volatility / outcome spread

Risk

How widely results vary across tested sessions. Strategy DNA shows the P90–P10 profit range relative to starting bankroll as one spread measurement.

Win rate

Outcomes

Winning bets divided by total bets. It is not the same as percentage of sessions that end profitably.

UNDERSTAND YOUR NUMBERS

How outcomes are determined

What HD4K Play measures, what it calculates, and how to read a result responsibly.

01 / INDIVIDUAL BETS

Chance, roll & payout

The research Dice engine generates a virtual roll and checks strict Roll Over or Roll Under rules. A successful bet earns a payout based on the configured chance; losing bets lose the stake.

Nominal payout multiplier = 99 ÷ win chance (%)For example, 49.5% gives a nominal 2× multiplier. The game's discrete roll increments and rounding can affect exact frequencies and amounts.
02 / SESSION RESULTS

Balance & profit

Each outcome changes the bankroll, and any Advanced Play conditions adjust the next bet. A session ends on its configured stop, at its play limit, or if the next settings cannot continue.

Net profit = ending − starting balanceStart 100 HD → end 125 HD = +25 HD net profit. A session can survive while still finishing negative.
03 / DOWNSIDE

Drawdown & exhaustion

Drawdown is tracked from the highest balance previously reached. Exhaustion means the required next bet can no longer be funded, not necessarily that the balance equals zero.

Drawdown = prior peak − later balancePeak 150 HD → balance 120 HD = 30 HD drawdown. Maximum drawdown is the biggest such drop in the session.
04 / MANY SESSIONS

Rates, averages & percentiles

The simulator repeats sessions using generated roll streams. It counts events such as target hits and exhaustion, averages numerical measurements, and sorts outcomes for median and percentile values.

Exhaustion rate = exhausted sessions ÷ total testedThree exhaustions out of 100 sessions = 3% observed exhaustion. It is not a guarantee of the next 100 sessions.

Three distinctions worth knowing

Survival ≠ profit

A session can avoid exhaustion and still lose HD Coins.

High win rate ≠ high return

More frequent wins often have smaller payouts, and the house edge still applies.

Observed = sampled, not certain

Results depend on the strategy, settings, sample size, seed, simulation rules and stopping conditions. A 0% observed risk is not proof that a risk is impossible.

QUICK ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions

Are any tools locked behind Pro right now?

No. All research tools and profile customizations are currently unlocked. The future-tier chart is a planning preview, not an active access restriction.

Do I need a payment method or subscription?

No payment method or Pro subscription is required to use the currently unlocked features. Some account-only tools require a free sign-in.

Does a higher win rate mean a strategy will profit?

No. Payouts shrink as win chance rises, the Dice model has a house edge, and bet-size progression can expose large losses. Inspect average and median profit, drawdown and exhaustion as well.

Why can my median profit be positive while my average profit is negative?

If many sessions finish with a small gain but a few suffer large losses, those large losses can pull down the average even though the middle session is positive.

What does a 0% observed exhaustion rate mean?

None of the sampled sessions exhausted their balance within those test settings. It does NOT establish that future exhaustion is impossible.

Are simulation results identical to actual gameplay?

Research simulations use seeded pseudo-random outcomes and modeled Advanced Play rules. Recorded gameplay is a separate data source. Neither can predict future random rolls.

Are all my experiments automatically saved?

No. Saved Vault strategies, Notebook entries, named gameplay Test Runs, and Monte Carlo summaries intentionally pinned to Notebook can be revisited. Many research simulations are temporary, and PDF/HTML files are downloaded locally.

Will Pro start charging me automatically?

No subscription billing is active in this project. Future plans, prices and access changes have not been announced. There is no active Pro purchase or automatic upgrade on this guide.

Can shared strategies expose my private Vault?

Sharing publishes a separate snapshot of the selected conditions. Private notes, folders, balances and unpublished versions are not part of the shared preview. Only Public shares appear in community search.

Are HD Coins real money?

No. HD Coins are virtual, have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for money or prizes. HD4K Play does not offer real-money wagering.
