I consider open game like this for bitcoin:
http://www.purely-games.com/free_games/find_the_queen.swf

would you play  ?
ofc i open with high graphic and better performance.

The problem with skill games that are against the house, is that the odds need to work so that the house can not-lose to expert-level players (or sufficiently advanced bots). At that point everyone who's not an expert-level player (or sufficiently advanced bot) will just get raped. So the only way to fix that is making it fully random so everyone has good odds (e.g. 1% house edge) and then at that point it's just a dice-skin

What is an .swf file ? How do I run it ?

Try from PC

I definitely would play those games, because it is easy to be good at them and get the right card 100% of the time. It would be very unprofitable for the casino probably, and eventually people will get a bot to keep track of the movements and play automatically for them. It is basically free money, so most people would play it, but no one would run a game like that, unless it is random and the movements have no effect on the actual queen location.

All I hope is that Op's implementation of 'Find the queen' game won't be something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWYsGzayJMs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWYsGzayJMs)  ;)
Other than that I am sucker for new good games so I would definitely play this if your version of the game was created expertly.

The hand mix will be very fast so it won"t be easy as you think and not trackable in the end.
Your chance to win is 33%

how would you decide chances of winning in this one? Just because its 1 of 3 cards?
Chances would depend on the eyesight of the players rather than just probability which is an extra compared to dice games.

Well this is just almost like a dice game with 33% to win and with 0 house edge so it is basically that there wont be any profit for the house in long run, on average of course but whats the point of this game though if someone cant just track the hand movement? The game is losing suspense without the ability to track the hand movement

If you're going to program a game involving money (or bitcoin) you better not do it in flash. Flash is very vulnerable to attacks and can be broken into easily. If you're just going to do it for fun then go ahead.

I think it would be a lot that will be interested in doing this game. But it would also negatively affect when you don't give something security and comfort in the game. Keep in mind that 90% of people will always do a game repeatedly, because they feel comfortable and safe. so you need to consider these things

It's an interesting idea and i would try that. My concern is the same as everyone else though. What would be the difficulty level in order to be playable for all?

Yeah for sure. I'm very fond of playing games like this since I was a child. This is the same with the find the coin under the cup game , right? . Games like this are very interesting considering there will be a clue for the users and the result will not be in a random basis like in a dice and roulette . However, I'm afraid that this will not be feasible. I foresee a burning house right after the launch.

Anyway, OP have you already planned the payouts? odds? way to beat the "masters" to this type of game?
Are you going to shuffle the cards the same with the link that you posted or same way like this?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just interested to your plan  :).

They think they can track, but not.

My feedback, it's good to have games like this for bitcoin. It is not based on luck but rather skill that you must have a quick eye movement.

it's not a big deal to win it.

i think this game too easy for make betting,people will easy to follow card movement,yes i'm agree this is require a skill to catch the queen. but i think if you improve the speed of card movement,its will better and harader to follow by human eyes.

Very clever ! It's quite cool animation very original idea. It's never been done before. Damn those cards move fast though ^^
I want to play when it comes out.

It have a great animation and design it look a funny game i wiln try it why not maybe the luck will smile at me with this game.
But it need more work to promote the site and work more about the animation that will make the game more populaire.

Interesting I like the shuffle thing. Is it possible to keep your eye on it ? What would ypu make the odds an payout ? I would play this yea.
