I am really into gambling because it's fun to test your luck, but I have been playing that Battlecoin game, which is a game where you bet money and other players bet too and make a pot, then you play a match of Bomberman and winner takes it all. Are there are any other games like this that aren't 100% luck? Also what do you think of 100% luck games (pure gamble) vs skill based games? I just like some variety sometimes from dicing and casino type games.

i played some time in dice game but my luck is very bad, so stopped it, and now i have started sports betting in cricket soccer and tennis, and this games are not luck based you just have to do reports about match teams, ground status and some old games record and you are ready with the report of that match. and i have 80% success in this sports betting because in this profit margin is less but you are not in loss.

Poker is skill-based for good players (swcpoker.eu, betcoin.ag, etc)

But you probably look for something more like: http://chopcoin.io

There are a few minesweeper and battleship like games, but apart from those few sites there are not many skill based games around. Maybe poker can be an option, if you consider it as a skill based game.

Regarding your question about pure gamble vs skill based games I'd say I'd like to see more skill based games. Most 100% luck based games (dice, slots, etc.) are quite boring.

please check out this offer........ you also can propose a different one and we will think about it :)

Poker and chopcoin are both games that you look for.  I see more coming in the very near future.

Battlecoin is the best skill based game implementation in Bitcoin I have ever seen thus far... it's so addictive, the developer is constantly upgrading it and he hired an additional coder to make the lag less worse. Once the game is really snappy in the control departments I can see really high bets starting to be played on there.

Here are a few sources where you can find such related games :

Not really curated but has a list of games to choose from

This game is strictly logical and challenging and they do accept bitcoins :

If you want an entertianing game based straight on luck,the bitcoin minesweeper

Good Luck

Having more skill-based Bitcoin games definitely sounds like an interesting idea, but I guess the developers of such games think that overall the video-game playing demographic doesn't really exist in the Bitcoin world...?

If they continue to improve the game, however, and it becomes seen as a viable option for people to start using, I'm sure we will see more of them pop up in the future.

yes i think you right both these games what he looking for maybe sportsbetting is another choice because need good skill analytics

I'd have to vote chopcoin as the best integration so far as it plays so smooth.  Yeah forgot about sports betting that defo has to count as skill.

It's not because of that, the problem with pvp games is that you need to have a really big amount of people in your site to be able to play. There is also the possibility of cheaters, thats why skill games like chess are impossible to implement and other games similar to that are also impossible to make.

Chess is a really easy one to cheat though, games like poker you can cheat but its hard if the game is 1 on 1, the only way then is to have a bot smarter than a human.  Agar seems to be working so far.

Being able to bet btc on skill based online game would be really cool !

Some kind of hearthstone (or MTG), or FPS game (quake3)  :o

How is the playerbase at chopcoin nowadays? When I played it right after launch I was most often confronted with a HUGE map compared to the number of players in it. Some matches I could keep collecting bits without seeing another player.

If this is solved, than chopcoin is a good way to stake bitcoins vs other players!

I play only skill based games (unless I get bonuses or other stuff which makes the game profitable).

The games with the biggest money making potential is poker and sites where you bet against other people like https://bitbet.us?ref=1HNaoUvSDRJ73WVL6LBnC6tBCTQEsrMkuf (https://bitbet.us?ref=1HNaoUvSDRJ73WVL6LBnC6tBCTQEsrMkuf) and https://www.betmoose.com/bets?ref=sirlanka (https://www.betmoose.com/bets?ref=sirlanka). You can get higher ROI from betting, but more volume from poker.

Then comes games like battlecoin and spots betting. It is possible to make money from sports betting in the long run. But most people do not study enough to beat the fees.

It is possible to make money from chess too. But since chess does not involve any luck it is hard to get games running against people worse than yourself. It is to obvious who the better player is, he will win every time.

Avoid casino games without any skill part. No betting strategy can make them profitable in the long run.

I hope there will be more skill based bitcoin games. Just remember that it is super important to have the right balance between skill and luck in the game. If there is luck involved people can blame their poor results on being unlucky, they get overconfident. It is also very important to market the game to new players. If the game has many unskilled players it will drive more pros to the game.

Yeah, I've play the bomberman game where you will earn few satoshis when you kill player, iirc. It's so much fun, to be honest.
If you ask me, I'd choose to play skill-based games rather than luck games. Because I don't have luck in gambling...

Vineyard (user on bitcointalk) used to have a couple of these games, like for example coinhopper.
You can search his threads, he used to have at least 3 similar games :)

Well i lost some on gambling.. didnt know that there were skill based game.. i wil try this battlecoin..

thankyou for the info btw

maybe this tread might be the place for this OP if you are willing to do it
think that it will be great to see we all get bored from time to time and list of such games will be great to pass time

i hope you all agree on this

I have been trying this Bomberman game lately, caution: It's highly addictive, and you think you may be losing less money than in a pure gambling site because it's skill based, but you actually end up losing more. There are really skilled people already that have played hundred of matches (you can check how many matches a person has played by clicking on the drawing/cartoon avatar think. If they are really good I would avoid playing against them until you are skilled yourself.

How cool would it be if there will be a game like Vainglory where the team who win get the bonus of satoshi. I am not that good in creating games but possible other people like the idea.

So far I tried faucetbirds, minerfarm and coinbrawl. Have also tried to start playing  farmsatoshi only they don't answer email. So I decided to never start playing farmsatoshi.

i would like to see more games like pool or belote and where players plays against each other to win the pot

Poker is a skill based game.  If you're good with math, cards, and know a little bit about software, then you can make a killing playing online poker.  You'd need to find a site that is compatible with the available software, but there are all kinds of tools that one can use to take advantage of the game.  Poker is highly a skill based game....there is some probability involved but the trick is to use those statistics to get an upper hand on your opponent....there's a lot of money that can be made playing poker!

Unfortunately, there aren't many games like this because of the fear of bots rigging the game.

OP, one other skill game you can try is tappabit.com, it's a good game but unfortunately there isn't a big userbase.

The problem with skill based games (and yes they are fun) is they become dominated by bots or highly skilled players. Primedice which currently has the most traffic in Bitcoin gambling used to have PvP dice but removed it due to lack of use. So unfortunately, if the highest traffic gambling site saw almost no play on games like this then the market simply isn't there for it.

On the bright side at least with provably fair casinos you can verify your bets were fair which is something you wouldn't be able to do in a skill based game. You are basically trading some of the fun factor (in skill based games) for guaranteeing your bets are mathematically fair.

Minesweeper and Battleship is not skill based. Its based on house edge just like dice.

Skill based is something like Chess against other humans.

There are plenty of poker sites but what other non general games can be made that are impossible to cheat? Not many, racing cars games or pool games are hard to anticheat and even so you still need lots of traffic so everyone can always play, sure you can have a bot but people want pvp

98% of comments including the OP are stupid .


2% Talking about bots ... are smart  8)

Rule : A skill game on the insternet = Bots AND tampering data.  ::)

In my opinion, Poker and Blackjack are semi-skill based games for players with a good strategic mindset. If you are one of them, then you can try out your skills at Betcoin.ag (https://www.betcoin.ag)

But in most of the cases you won't be able to find a 100% skill based game because that will obviously be risky to the game owner since the house edge fully depends on player's skill. Except a few of them are still existing such as Bomberman (Battleship) and Chopcoin.io

In past, there was a site where you could earn Bitcoins by playing chess. But as I said above, the owner was experiencing losses and hence was closed down!

BTW, I got hold of a site => www.velocitychess.com which has a similar principal but I'm not sure whether they reward players with Bitcoins.

''that will obviously be risky to the game owner since the house edge fully depends on player's skill'' Totally false. The owner makes money on commisions from each game played, he does not care who wins. He does fear bots tho, someone could use a bot or cheat and win everygame, people would stop playing and his site would eventually die.

If you're playing player vs player, then it would be skill based, but playing it vs the house doesn't seam to me like having anything to do with skill.
Chess on the other hand van be skill based, but that's just due to insane amount of possible moves that are hard to compute.
What was the name of the site that rewarded to play chess ?

totally agree with you that if you want to play skill based games then you have to play with live online real players instead of casino type games.  their are games like poker which is really a skill based games if you are playing with real players online not with site owner like casino.

I think poker one of skill based game but dont like it. I like skill base game like battle bomber man and i am looking for another one
Like lol or dota 2 or any base skill like on billiard or racing but this games are still none of any gambling site.

Edit: i think of the base skills i like is coinflapper and coin hopper  that i found on google working on any mobiles.

well there are a lot of skilled games on a website called cashclamber.com in it you can earn 0.005 every half hour if you have skills in some games to beat pc or you can play player vs player mode though i think there arent a lot of players

Play head to head game of skill here, https://www.bitcoinrush.io/bitcoin-casino/bitcoinrush/index

Play the bot for free and win 10k satoshi daily

Here's a video showing a demo of the game : https://youtu.be/9ub2utSGeuo

I really prefer skilled games vs pure luck ones. I already know that game, it's getting pretty popular I think, and I hope that will be the next step in the gambling world, it would bring a lot of fun to gambling, and that's what I normally search for. For now, that is the only game I know, although I also heard that in the Dragons.tl you can get a mix of skill and pure luck based mini games, inside the MMORPG universe.

I have heard of that game, but just like other people has commented, I can't be bothered to download a game to play it anymore, in 2016 you need to have the stuff happening in the internet browser, people doesn't want to download stuff anymore (unless we are talking an actual heavy game like League of Legends or something, but not for mini games/gambling stuff).

Well this one is a MMORPG so maybe it can't be done just with browser gaming. Only saw some screenshots and a few youtube videos, but the game is full 3D etc, so I understand the need to download and install the game. But in the rest, yes, I agree with you.

chopcoin for sure, I became so addicted to this lately. I missed on the whole agar.io craze, I played sometimes but never too much, now I have become addicted and even if it's just a clone, it's more exciting since you are at least making some BTC on the side while you are bored at the office when there are not many things to do, and at the end of the month there's not much to do so things like this are great to kill that extra hour :)

leet.gg (http://www.leet.gg) lets you bet bitcoin on CS:GO, Minecraft, or League of Legends.  I've been wanting to play someone on Minecraft, but there aren't many players.

[EDIT] It seems like CS:GO is most active.
