"In the 5617525 times this simulation has run, players have won $664073 And by won I mean they have won back $664073 of the $5617525 they spent (11%)."
Either it's buggy or there is some tampering with data going on.
Also, several Redditors claim to have won - maybe the simulator is just poorly programmed.
It's an integer overflow - it wraps around at either 2^31, 2^32/100, or 2^32. I wasn't patient enough to refresh the page enough times to figure out which.
