Title: beta test a blackjack game, get 0.5 btc for your efforts!
Post by: abrkn on January 12, 2013, 09:00:24 PM
I'm getting ready to launch a blackjack game to luckco.in, but I need some help testing first.

1. Play the game at http://dev.luckco.in/#blackjack/bj (http://dev.luckco.in/#blackjack/bj)
2. Report any bugs to help@luckco.in. These are the bugs I already know about (https://github.com/abrkn/joggy/issues?milestone=2&page=1&state=open)
3. The first player to make it to 1100 CREDITS will get a 0.5 prize. To claim the prize, say your BTC address in the chat on the site and then post a reply here with your username

Once the prize is claimed, I might restart the competition depending on how much testing is left.

Notes:
- Click in the box with your name to bet
- You cannot join the table mid-hand. This is simply because I didn't finish this feature yet. If the game doesn't appear, just press F5 and it will try to rejoin.
- Cheating/exploiting of any kind is allowed
- Step 3. is important, this way I can know where to send the 0.5 BTC by looking in the chat logs
- You need to use the link above to see the game

I'm not sure if it's a bug nor not, but sometimes it takes a lot longer to receive my hand (like 10s sometimes).

The timings are a little bit awkward at the moment. I'll look into it, thanks!

 "error: hand not found. see error console"  every time the dealer gets a black jack, have to restart the game to play again

after the dealer gets blackjack, and you get the error, you cant get back into the game.  It is unplayable as it is.

when you double a bet, and win... you do not receive any winnings, you only receive your bet back.  I think I would have the required 1100 credits by now if this were not the case.  but you did say Cheating/exploiting of any kind is allowed, so i guess you have me there.

I'm unable to reproduce this. I've tried:

I'm dealt 10,10 and dealer has 10, 10 -> My 2 credits are returned
I'm dealt 5, 5 and hit 5 and then 5, dealer has 5, 5, 5, 5 -> My 2 credits are returned

Keep in mind that the balance display updates a little sooner than I want to (right before dealer draws)
