Choose a ticket for exactly zero, one, two or three matches before the draw. A single captured stake covers all six cells. There is no separate reward for a particular colour, horizontal row, diagonal or number of coloured cells. For example, top R B Y and bottom R Y Y have two matching columns, so only ticket two pays.
Colour Bridges rules
Colour Bridges is this guide’s original colour-count game. Six independent cells form two rows of three. Each cell has one of three equally likely colours, labelled R, B and Y as well as shown as coloured discs. A column matches when its two colours agree; otherwise it does not. The result is the total number of matching columns, from zero to three.

Exact probabilities and gross return
There are 3^6=729 equally likely complete boards. They contain 216 outcomes with zero matches, 324 with one, 162 with two and 27 with three. The exact ticket probabilities are 8/27,4/9,2/9 and 1/27 respectively. Each column agrees with probability 1/3 independently of the others, so these counts also follow a binomial distribution with three trials.
The winning gross multipliers are 0.96 / probability:3.24×,2.16×,4.32×and 25.92× for tickets 0,1,2 and 3. A losing ticket returns zero. Gross return includes the stake. Every ticket has 96% theoretical expected gross return, not a 96%chance of winning or a guarantee for a session. The prior board does not change the next ticket’s probability.

Local wallet and manual refill
The initial wallet contains 1,000 free virtual coins with no cash value. The settled balance and fractional payout carry persist in this browser’s localStorage. Reloading preserves them; deleting site data can remove them. Clearing the cache alone does not necessarily remove localStorage. An unfinished animation is not an external customer account or a financial balance.
Manual refill is available only while idle and below 10 coins, the minimum stake. It sets the wallet to 1,000 rather than adding 1,000 and preserves fractional carry. Fractions are carried into later settlements instead of being discarded every round. Coins cannot be purchased, withdrawn, transferred or redeemed for a prize.
Browser controls and accessibility
Select a stake of 10,20,50 or 100 virtual coins and an exact-count ticket while the game is idle, then press Draw six colours. The stake and ticket are captured before the six colours are drawn. Controls stay locked until the complete board settles once. There is no mid-round collect, Auto sequence, replacement colour or second ticket on the same stake.
The result shows R, B and Y letters, and lines connect the top and bottom cells of matching columns. Colour is not the only way to read a result. Reduced-motion preference shortens the animation without changing the captured board or its payout. The sound control is optional; animation, sound and timing do not improve a ticket’s chance.
Optional play and time limits
This guide applies its own 18-and-over rule to the demo. That is a participation rule for this website, not a determination of local gambling law or permission to use an external service. The identity and legal status of any organisation behind the query remain unverified here.
Decide how much time you want to spend on this optional activity and stop at that limit. A refill, larger multiplier or loss does not require another round. Pause if play becomes distracting or difficult to stop, and consider qualified local support when needed. This page does not diagnose a condition or provide treatment.

Is my data collected?
The game stores its settled wallet and fractional carry locally. There are no personal-information forms or customer logins on this guide. That does not imply that every page request remains on the device or that all browsing is anonymous. Local game data does not establish the privacy practices of an external APK. Pages request Google Fonts and the Statinside analytics script. Hosting, CDN and third-party requests may expose IP addresses, device information and request details. This guide does not establish analytics anonymity, cookie lifetimes, retention periods or a guarantee against third-party profiling. Browser site-data settings affect local wallet persistence separately from those requests.
