Leveling

The leveling system allows players to gain experience while they play the casino games.

Winning a prize will allocate experience equal to that of the base chance to win a prize

All prizes are shown on a table below the slots - including your chance to win each prize

The recent winners tab shows the latest 5 prizes that have been won

^{If you have any comments/queries please post here/send me a PM I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you might have}

Good luck and please post here if you win!

Planned Improvements

- More games!
- Add leveling and tiers
- Reduce number of codes to win on each page - add pagination so players can browse possible prizes

- Mystery Box game added
- Poke the Code game added
- Recent Winners

Are there any rewards for testing? Not to sound greedy but generally a reward for finding bugs is appreciated.

EDIT : Very minor thing, the 'No prize' circle looks pretty bad, as in it's not nicely rounded. Also, suggestion, an animated wheel would be nice, instead of just refreshing images.

I plan on offering free spins to people who find flaws in the system and exploits

Thank you for noting the no prize I will redo it tomorrow, probably along with some other images

And I plan on making it more interactive in the future, there are some nice jquery frameworks I will be taking a look at to add extra functionality :)

The game should be going live soon, hopefully by the end of next week maybe earlier!

I plan on rebalancing the game so it takes 3 credits per spin ($0.60) I hope people still think it is fair, I will also significantly increase the chance to win (3 times)

This is not so that I can make more money from the game, but rather so that people have a higher chance to win and so that the odd to win a $50 game is not 1 in 250, which I think would put people off, but rather it is more like 1 in 80.

I would like to hear people's suggestions before I implement this change as I don't want to over charge for the game, but it still needs to be profitable so I can stock more games..

EDIT

Adjusted price of credits to $0.25 and now costs 2 to spin

works great ;D ;D ;D

Can't seem to find any problems. Great job :)

Thank you for the positive feedback :)

The site should be going live soon, but I'd also like to keep a test server up so people can play it before committing to pay

Also if you have any friends you think would be interested please let them know!

Slight delays with the casino - currently unable to take payments, hopefully will have this fixed soon!

Casino is finally ready for launch!

Bump

Just tried this, it's not working, I've bought credits but I'm not getting any.

EDIT : Worked once I relogged, might want to warn people on that one.

Hi Chris - sorry about that and thanks for pointing it out, I'll write a patch up tomorrow

Good luck in the Casino!

Ok I have updated the issue with credits not updating when bought unless you logout and back in - they should now automatically update as soon as the payment is sent

If there is any issues with this please let me know

Luke

Will be working on a Scratch card game within the next few weeks/months - when I have time I will try and get it done
Heh might not add a scratch card game, we'll see  ::)
I'll also add some effects to the slot game when I get some time :)

Now featured in mem's gambling list  :)

Win Windows 7 Ultimate Key

http://cdkey-hut.com/casino.php?page=slots

Added a recent winner section :)

http://cdkey-hut.com/casino.php?page=recent-wins

Title graphic added to front page  :o

Now you can see why I'm not a designer  ;D

  ;)

Very interesting idea! I've never seen a casino where you can win product keys before.
You should allow free spins to test (no prize of course).

Good idea

Just implemented it, please try it here

http://cdkey-hut.com/casino.php?page=test

Let me know if there are any kinks!

Luke

Oh if you have any ideas for games you might like to see - let me know and I'll try and make them!

BTCump

You can now win microsoft points at the slots

http://cdkey-hut.com/casino.php?page=slots

I think the website isn't popular because of the winning odds. They are very LOW.

Thank you for the feedback

I have been thinking about changing the odds to make it more balanced

What odds do you think would be more fair?

I've updated the odds now - let me know what you think, they're much closer to the retail price now

Poke the code is my next idea  ;D

Like the coconut shy game, you throw a ball and try and knock a code off the page - i'm not sure about visual functionality at the moment but I'll see what I can do

Poke the code ready for testing  :o

http://cdkey-hut.com/casino.php?page=poke-the-code

It uses animate.css for the effects

When the code shakes that means you haven't won, when it falls it means you have won.

You generate a code each time (you can chose what you're playing for) when you have a code you want to play. When you've chosen hit poke code and see if you can knock it off!

2 credits to play like the slots - same odds !

Poke the code now live  ;D

Working on a test version so you can play without paying!

http://cdkey-hut.com/casino.php?page=poke-the-code

I'll try it

I'll drop you a pm when I have it ready to test - for some reason it's not working keeps flagging errors  :'(

You can now test poke the code before committing to pay

Damn, this is such an original idea and gets near to no attention, that's a real shame :/. Maybe you could try giving away The last Of Us? I'm not how you'd have to do since it's PS3 exclusive, but it's a very hyped game and a lot of people want it, so maybe it'd attract more people to play.

Here's a free bump. It's a very good site and a original idea. Willing to take donations for amazon cards? :)

Thanks for the support guys :)

I think biggest flaw with the site is the number of products I have - near none, I am trying to track down a supplier who takes Bitcoin as I don't have a lot of my own money to invest.

If I can find a good supplier I will try and get every game possible, and maybe in the future spread out to physical prizes (might be a little while until this happens!)

@welsh how do you mean donations for amazon cards?

Ah I see, yes thank you that would be very helpful, when I get some BTCBTCBTC together I'll drop you a message and we can work out some pricing for the codes

Great. Such a awesome website needs to stay alive. I can't understand why it isn't popular :).

In all honesty the site isn't about making money, I've had a lot of fun and learnt a lot by making it, in my opinion that's it own reward :)

I'm really glad that you like it though, it's always good to hear praise!

If you have any suggestions for the site, in terms of design, functionality or even casino games, let me know and I'll see if I can implement them

I think more games would be awesome

Of cause ^ ^

What suggestions do you have?

Obviously I cant do conventional games like poker or blackjack as they dont really work, I have thought about a dice game but im not sure how to implement it

I'm thinking a mystery box game for my next big idea ;D

So you buy a box and it might have a prize in, or it might not

Thoughts?

Also thinking an rpg style game which I think could be really cool, but it might take a little while to code up  :-X

What?

Another game?!

Mystery Box - try it out here : http://cdkey-hut.com/casino.php?page=mystery/mystery-box

Let me know what you think - I'll be adding another of my ideas in the near/distant future

That seems fun! I'll definately play this a bit, is there a way to play this paid? Also, is it bugged by any chance? I've tried ~20 times and Box 1 NEVER has a prize.

It's not bugged no, completely random. It works the same way as the slots, randomly picks a code and queries the chance to win with 2 numbers, if they match then you win, if not then you don't.  I suppose box 1 was just unlucky

It will cost twice what the slots and poke the code cost ($1 - 4 credits) but also has twice the odds

I'll work on the paid version either tonight or tomorrow, I'll let you know when it's ready :)


By the way my next idea for the casino is leveling/tiers so the more you play the higher your chance of winning.

It'll work like if you win a code you get exp equal to the chance of winning the code, each tier will require a certain amount exp to advance and when you hit each tier you have a slightly higher chance of winning. It won't be overly high but I think it would be a nice incentive to play and perhaps make the games more engaging

Awesome! I really hope you get more attention from these games, the site is really nice, and it's an original idea, but it really isn't getting as much attention as it deserves, then some other guy launches just another dice site and gets 10 pages in no time, it's just so unfair. Have you tried advertising?

Thanks for the support :) I'll try and get it ready by tonight but most likely it'll be ready tomorrow

I think at the moment with the Bitcoin community people are more interested in hoarding BTC and perhaps are also interested in gambling them in the hope to get more, rather than cashing out buy spending them or perhaps by playing my games. I think when Bitcoin starts to take off I will have more interest

I also think the lack of prizes effects how many people play, I don't have a lot of funding at the moment but hopefully I will be able to buy some new codes soon.

I have a inexpensive advert setup with coinurl which drives a bit of traffic but again as I dont have a lot of funding it's hard, I do SEO on my site so it's rather well optimized. It's also a great portfolio piece for me :)

Mystery Box now live

There might be an issue /w credits - you might have to logout and back in for them to register

I have moved the credits from the sidebar to the bottom of the page + below each paid game (issue with credits not updating been fixed)

 ::)

Been working on a leveling system for the casino today

The idea being you get exp when you win a prize. The exp is equal to the chance you had to win the code, the higher the chance the less likely you are to win the prize.

Each level will bring a boost of an extra 5% chance to win each prize. Think a code with 20% chance to win you'll get a 25% chance to win.

I will also be extending the prizes on display to include exp as a random prize each time you don't win. The extra prizes will also include extra spins and hopefully in the future Bitcoin.

I think this would be quite a nice addition to the casino and hopefully add a gaming experience to the casino

One final idea for the future is a grid reference game where you are situated in a map and explore to find prizes

NW	N	NE
W	O	E
SW	S	SE

*O means search for codes

Each move you make will cost 1-2 credits and you have a chance to win a code each step, searching will also cost 1-2.

Random text will be displayed each time you don't win - I'll try and come up with some funny stuff but I might look to hire someone to help me out if I get round to making this game

Levels are now working - levels 1 - 5 will give 1% - 5% chance boost respectively

Will add an info doc on mystery box and leveling over the next few days

I also want to make a custom graphic for CDKey Hut Credits so I might be looking for someone to help me out - if not I'll see what I can come up with

Will start work on my next game at some point
