do I need to purchase Minecraft in order to play ?

Sorry the server was having some technical difficulty lately. It's back up now though!

Usually around 15-35

You should set the server to offline mode in case Mojang's login server is down.
Also, implement a /login plugin.

People would just have a bot army then.

Pythonideus doesn't run BitVegas btw.

I should warn some people before playing Bitvegas, they advertise free .1mbtc every 15 minutes as a gift, however when you hit the little box that gives it to you in the game you are only given .05mbtc, which isn't enough to make a single bet. A little misleading.

That isn't a wikipedia page.

I just tried it.  They used to give you 1 mBTC each time, but I just got 0.5 mBTC:

It sounds like you have your decimal points in the wrong place.

Direct quote from OP : "and gives you half a mBTC for every fifteen minutes you play."

My decimal places were correct.

Oh wow my bad lol. Here (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitVegas) is the actual wiki page for the server.

The server will be changing to a new map soon with more games.

What he means is that a new map is being built. There is no ETA on when it will be complete or when the code will be finished.

Very incredible, you certainly have put a lot of thought/effort into this.

Will be sure to connect and take a look myself at some point.

Pythonideus did not make any of this.

Indeed.  This thread is an example of how referral programs can work.  Pythonideus put his referral link in the first post, and so gets paid by BitVegas for anyone who finds their server via this thread.

Correct, I did not create the server. I did make the wiki page and I'm helping with the map though.

1 active login per IP address might solve that.

The amount of time I spend on this minecraft server, is too damn high!

edit: you are right. my threads have been shit on in a similar way. best of luck.

[Edit] Thanks!

Server is down?

The server is back up right now, but it will be going down for probably about an hour at some time this week, as we will be changing to the new map.

Gonna log on and give it a shot shortly.

Will give my thoughts/reactions.

Just my quick thoughts:

-Very active, 30+ people were actively playing when I was on.
-Liked the play money feature, let me test out the games and become more comfortable with them.
-Pig racing/blackjack/Minefield were my favorite games I tried.
-Initially overwhelmed by amount of games/activity but enhanced experience over time
-Not very practical for anyone trying to make money in my opinion, but if you are gambling small amounts for fun I'd definitely suggest this.
-Only con I have is that you have to buy Minecraft to play it, but pretty much every gamer owns minecraft at this point.

The game crashed for me after a while and thus I wasn't able to test everything I'd like to. I will go play again later and check it out in more detail. I'm not sure if there are slots on the server but that's definitely something I'd find most appealing for this sort of casino. All in all, props to the creator. Quality fun right here.

My Pig won by the way :)

Here is info from their website if anyone wants to test it out:

Server Name: BitVegas
Address: mc.bitvegas.net
When the server prompts you to use custom textures, click YES

Thanks!

I wanted to play on this site but then I was told I have to pay for a Minecraft membership which is like $28 or so...I just want to gamble a very small amount on this site to try it out. Any way to do so without having to buy that membership?

No, the gambling is done in Minecraft. You have to buy the game to play.

Slots are not here, but they are being added when the new maps comes out soon. There is not a release date yet.

The new map is now out! There are several new games. I am aware that there were some issues with connectivity a few weeks ago but hopefully it is all resolved, as the owner changed quite a bit, including upgrading the servers and player limit.

That was my problem too, :p.

I may get MC later on to give it a go. I've gotta say the server looks awesome!

The server is offline?

Thanks Mooshire! Yeah the server was down for maintenance, but it's back up.

Bitvegas is a nice mine craft server

But the referral link got abused so much that it made bitvegas look bad

I like it.

I agree that referral links can be abused but fail to see how I am guilty of this. I created my own post that brings attention to the server, not just senseless spam.

I just thought about this again after so many years and it brings back great memories. Does any know what happened to this?

When I was talking to admins about what happened it went like this:
The owner suddenly disappeared & the server had no more money, this was after a big price increase in bitcoin so the hypothesis is that he ran with the money.
So yeah that sucks a bit. I remember playing because it had the biggest faucet ever & I just abused it 😂

Nowadays it would be giving out about $9 an hour in bitcoin, that was pennies back then.
