EDIT** Blockfight is now live! Give it a go here! You can play with Ethereum or Halo right now. You'll soon be able to play with Bitcoin as well!

Hey guys, I was able to get in on the Beta for a new wager game that is played on the Halo blockchain called Blockfight and it is made by Halo's gaming studio, Block and Chain games. They are about to release their first blockchain game where you can wager on fights using Halo, Bitcoin, and Ethereum! The Halo blockchain supports wrapped coins and they can easily wrap BTC and ETH and do the game hashes on the Halo blockchain and convert back to ETH and BTC when you want to cash out.  I did a comparison to Etheroll (popular dice game), you can watch below:

The thing that they really have going for them is speed and free transactions. They have instantaneous free transactions and that really puts them in a great place for blockchain games, as you can tell by the video. Let me know what you guys think  ;)

I love gaming initiatives using blockchain.
What I believe is a problem are the miners fees, which you need to pay for everything.

And yes, it looks like a nice way to gamble

Couldn't have said it better myself. I love ethereum as much as anyone else but the slow TPS and miner fees will stop mass adoption in certain areas like gaming/gambling. Halo has free send/receive transactions that are instant and are able to overcome that obstacle.

They welcome any feedback, the only reason I say that is because I suggested adding the music to the background while you're fighting and they were able to update the game with other feedback requests in just a few days. Today they announced this:

"We want to give you one more update before the Beta ends tomorrow night. In this update, the big new thing is the ability to pre-set the number of fights you want to autoplay consecutively. This was a community requested feature which allows players who prefer to autoroll play several rounds in a row. As you can see, you can also cancel it if you're mid-stride and wish to stop."

This really look like a nice way to gamble.  I just want to ask if this is centralized gambling site or decentralized one.  However I will trying to play and really see how it works. I also like the free transactions.

How is this different than the regular dice games besides of the 3d art? I get it these games happen on the blockchain and The graphics are great but it is still a dice game in the end.

What we need is more complicated RPG/hack&slash  games like diablo with a auction house and the base currency of the game should (of course) be a crypto currency. I would play that game.

Those demon arts are great maybe they turn it into some kind of rpg game later.

Yeah, the graphics was so great and when you gamble on this site for sure you will enjoy and you will play more. If the transaction is free for good, I think this can be another good site to play with. Hopefully the team will work hard to gain the trust of the gambler, wishing a success for this so i can play and earn some money here.

Watching the video were your post on OP and this is interesting that playing gambling through creatures against creatures and this is first time to see it and attacking moves were depend on every dice roll have you got and since it in Beta version i wish it would be officially annoounce here for full versions and i do agree that game graphic was good and similar to RPG games

I think it's harder to interpret the Halo based game since there are a lot of options to choose from. There is no point in drawing down the entire game as a subset of dice when a simple does game does exactly the same. Halo would have invested so much in developing that game when it's not skill based at all!!

Didn't find any link to the actual site anywhere in this link, so if you're too lazy to actually Google the site and find a link to it, here it is (click here). (https://www.blockandchain.games/blockfight.html)

Wish the beta for this game was public so other people could actually try out the game, but it does look pretty neat from a beginner's perspective- everything's neat, navigable, and well organized, and the game doesn't seem too demanding for a browser game. Do you have any sort of approximation for when this game will be released to the public?

The links are in the description of the video, but I guess I could've posted here too  :)

The beta primarily consisted of the Halo community, it ends today unfortunately but I think the game is very close to completion. If I was to guess I would guess in the next 2 weeks for sure. The team did a great job with the game and had ease of use and UX in mind when building it. I wanted to add that the team that built this is an offset of the Halo team so they are building games that will work seamlessly with the Halo blockchain.

Decentralized and provably fair. Check out this page on Block and chains website: https://blockandchain.games/provablyfair




I found it quite easy to play and learn from without any instructions, the only thing that confused me at first was how ties worked. I get what you're saying about a subset of dice, but maybe its just me but I find it more engaging and fun to be able to battle it out. They will also have PvP coming as well, not just P v NPC.  Honestly I doubt they invested a lot, they do have a team who is working on gaming on the blockchain but they are laying the foundation and it will always pay off in the long run. They charge a 2% commission.

I would also like to add that ALL commission fees and profits from their games go to the MN holders, Halo has an Arch node so they get their portion of the profits.



Definitely agree, the more use cases for blockchain make the world a better place and I like to see people succeed in those use cases. There are no miners fees on Halo, all send/receive transactions are free.



I mean I guess it's the same as regular dice games,but with 3d art to make it a bit more engaging. Plus you're playing on the blockchain instantaneously with provably fair odds. They (Block and Chain game studios) definitely have plans for games like that as well. They did a AMA live and I asked about Runescape type game and they said they are looking at doing all options, they want to establish themselves first of course. I completely agree about having more RPG hack&slash games related with blockchain/crypto, those are going to be killer. The great thing is that there are games like that out there being worked on! And to top it all off, they chose the Halo blockchain to run their in game currency on because its so fast and it's free. The game is called Decimated by Fracture Labs. here are the links to their website and Youtube account where they are posting videos. They also have a discord channel where they post updates and ingame graphics to.

Also, Block and Chain game studio is also about to release their beta for Draggin' Dragons, i haven't been able to check it out yet but you can wager on it by racing dragons. Apparently you can breed and buy the dragons.

I just realized that my comment could've had some negative connotations upon re-reading, so I apologize if this came across in my post; I was referencing the laziness to readers of the thread.

Interesting that this game could fit in with the entire Halo blockchain; I wasn't aware that Halo was coming up with multiple games in the future. Have you received any sort of beta to Draggin' Dragons (https://www.blockandchain.games/draggin-dragons.html) as well? I noticed this on the Block and Chain site, dunno if this is going to released close to Blockfight or not. I'll definitely try out both games when they're released nevertheless. Never hurts to have more variety in crypto gambling.

No worries at all! I didn't take it that way  :D They definitely have some good stuff in the works! Ironically enough, they just released their weekly newsletter that mentions adding "some great RPG elements" to Draggin Dragons, speaking with Devin Seto (Head of Game studio) in the discord, he mentioned that Blockfight will be out before the end of the month for sure and they are going to shoot for early February for the beta to Draggin Dragons because they "want to be careful not to muddy the waters as we launch Blockfight" Here is their newsletter which mentions a partnership with 55Play, and they are already partners with the Crypto Gamers Community:
https://community.haloplatform.tech/blogs/entry/111-bnc-weekly-update-142019/

I think if other currencies are introduced in gambling along with bitcoin, it will really help the cause and miner fee will be very limited as one can have option to chose any coin to gamble.
On the OP Video, this look really interesting one  :P

It's really looks cool, the graphics and all the stuff. But I don't know, yes it's engaging but maybe I'm old school though, I just wanted to play the old and traditional on-line dice games. But that's just me, this is just my opinion lads and don't get me wrong here.

It is a "dice game" yes, but, it i faster that a lot of other dice games and with the transactions being free it gives you a bit more control over your money and what you want to wager etc.
You can play the game as a game, on "slow x1" speed, or if you just want to hit the button and go, turn up the speed to as fast as it will go and put roll on auto, then its just 1 click to start the next game, much faster than most dice games out there, and nice to look at whilst it plays out.



With regards to more complicated games, I am going to speak with Devin myself when we're both online at the same time. I know they partnered with Fracture Labs, who are making Decimated.
You can read the press release they published about this partnership here; https://thecryptoarmory.com/fracture-labs-and-block-chain-studios-collaborate-on-epic-gaming-experience/

For those who cant be bothered to read the article (its short, so do it anyway);

"a unique and totally immersive online survival game complete with an in-game blockchain economy and token, which will be integrated into Block and Chain’s platform."

"Block and Chain will offer several benefits to the Decimated tech stack, including low friction currency flow APIs, an integrated wallet, and decentralized exchange."

"Both Block and Chain and Decimated are made up of teams of game industry veterans who are bringing mainstream gameplay to the blockchain and setting the standard for quality games."

I see some good things coming from Halo and Block and Chain Games in the future.

For people who do like or seek for new dice experience then this site is really worth to try but sadly it is only available on some alts only and no bitcoin option is available.

I dont have experience on these new 3D dice games but the concept do looks cool but for those fellas who do love instant results then this site wont really be for you.

well its certainly interactive and the interface is good but im
a bit dissapointed that the fighters dont actually fight each
or I cannot control my chosen foghter and use my skills
at gaming. its essentially a dice game.

Actually, I forgot to mention this, they've stated that they will accept BTC and ETH to wager with soon after release. The Halo platform has coin wrapping and can put BTC and ETH on their blockchain, so the hashes can be done near instant and free and when you're ready to cash out it goes right back to BTC to your wallet.


Completely understandable! I wonder if they would consider an option to turn off the fighters and the likes just for the old school players, that way you still get the fast/free benefits and are able to play.  :)




I can also understand this sentiment, I think they would definitely do a game that is like this in the near future, they are just getting started and are trying to get established.

In sometimes it may happen but it is common in this field to be handle with our pressure things with a patient will be very important and making the huge thing to be normal will always be the best idea for each and every Gambler to live better life in their economic society.

What you do expect? Its a dice game with a different taste not an MMROPG or other game that you will able to use skills.Its already a little bit hassle or complicated for them
to create such area just for a typical dice but overall i'll definitely try this one out.Thanks for the share up.


We have our own opinions and preferred stuff so any words or comments out from others would be always valid.People would either like it or not for a dice game.

I can't wait to have a go at it live myself, the team states this in their discord:

"These first games/iterations are just our foray into blockchain, we'll evolve Blockfight, we started laying out 2.0 which will be your own fighters against other players"

I think their team is pretty loaded with gaming devs who have some good experience with gaming and mobile gaming. Their head of studio used to work at Zynga and helped make Farmville so massive back in the day. They've also worked on Zynga Texas holdem.

This is interesting. I was wondering few hours ago why owners of  gambling sites don't use blockchain to make the gambling fair and transparent.

Yes you are right the people will be definitely be transparent in this current field so Gamblers need to be more careful in this type of situation that we have to be a best gambler at this situation.

Waoo, this look like fun for gamblers but how fair is this gambling game? The entheroll as much as i know or think looks interesting. Hope that the house edge will be lesser than other gambling sites which will make it different from others.

Ever heard of anonymity?

Well, it is the people's choice if they want to play under the shadow but with a higher cost or play in the light with a low-cost fee. I don't know if how many of them are in favor of anonymity and how many on the completely transparent idea. Since traditional casinos are not that completely transparent than online gambling who uses blockchain technology.

Yes, you have a good connection between gaming and gambling, quite interesting and tempting. It looks good and it's not like simple games on online gambling, I like it.

It was definitely fun to play on! I can't wait for it to go live, which should be any day now honestly. They put out a weekly newsletter if you want to sign up for it on their website.

As far as fariness, they have posted the algo that they use to generate hashes on the blockchain here on their website: https://www.blockandchain.games/provablyfair

My favorite part was how seamless the log in was from the Halo Browser extension. It literally takes seconds and you’re logged in. If you don’t want to use the browser extension then you don’t have anything to worry about either as  you can sign in with a username and PW. They are working on accepting BTC and ETH as well and I will be pretty ecstatic if they launch BTC/ETH from the getgo as well as Halo.

This is a brilliant idea. It is so good.

Blockchain technology definitely need to be expanded and this kind of actions help a lot for that to happen. I congratulate the team behind this game because it is really good, seems really fun. I hope more will come after this one in the future.

Seen the video. Ethereum is slow because of large transaction volume and the blockchain transaction limits, what makes you think the Halo blockchain won't face the same problem when the transaction volume is increased?

Ethereum is limited by their transaction per second (TPS) and the way they have things setup. Of course they are working on changing it with their newest update amid the update to lower the rewards from 3 to 2 and go to POS. I think Ethereum's TPS is currently 15, where as Halo is currently at 5,000 transactions per second and can easily scale to more as needed. I doubt we will see it need to be more the way things currently are in Crypto but if it happens then they are prepared to scale. Halo has a block speed of 250 milliseconds, one of the fastest that I've seen out there. They use RAFT as their Consensus mechanism and VDTB, which is Variable Demand Transaction Block. This is where the blocks are actually created on demand as needed, 4 every second if needed (250 milliseconds). They aren't even on CMC yet, although they should be in the next week or two now that they are listed on 3 exchanges, Halo DEX, LA Token, and Stex. They have been under the radar for a year now and haven't hyped anything up as the model they follow they would rather have products to show first. Which they have now. Most of the Halo community knows what they have, and you can see it too because 95% of the circulating supply is locked up in masternodes.

Maybe they promote a more private game which you can easily play without exposing your real identity and I think its a good system. The graphics of this game is really good that can attract a gamer and of course a gambler. Is this already available in the market or still on a developing phase? I'm quiet excited to experience playing on this site, but for now will just wait for some update.

This looks very interesting and a so much quicker than Etheroll

5000 TPS sounds amazing as well compared to Ethereum, I may just have to pick some Halo up
Can you tell me which exchange it is on please?

Looks really neat! I mean, this is where cryptocurrency and specifically dApp platforms really shine.
You wouldn't dream of a traditional casino coming up with something like this, just isn't even possible.

Okay, it's in essence just a dice game, but I really like how they've made it into an actual game almost.
Pretty fancy graphics as well.

Same thing can happen of course but if its not much better. The game is interesting and its a very nice graphics, now we can enjoy playing without thinking about the moneg we spend because of the illusion with the games. I mean this is addicting if you play much on a game like this.

this looks so tempting to play and gamble, nice presentation and the gambling blockchain is kinda cool an pleasing, this could lure a lot of gamblers and beginners to the crypto gamble world, i may wanna try this one too some other day and we will see to it if its worth the gamble.

That is pretty cool and it simply divert our mind and to be entertain from its graphics designs. Now, I could say that gambling is not really to be consider as a source of income but just to entertain and to remove our stress from the whole day in job. I believe many were tried to experience this game and love it, besides we need to worry for fees cause it is free.

The team announced today that it will be available next week! They will open up accepting Halo and ETH to play with and will add BTC soon after. Once it goes live, I'll post the link here and we can see what you guys think about it.



When I was playing the beta a few weeks ago it was pretty entertaining to me, especially when you're using a low level character against the highest level character and the chances of winning are less but it is such a high payout if you do win and if you roll the same dice count and tie, then you roll again and add them up from the previous roll and you can really knock a larger opponent out quick with ties

This was a good improvement for the games that are here to be implemented in blockchain and a lots of option will need to improve for the next development and changes and the game is also being good for watching virtually and using more comfortable.

Who said that gambling can be treated as a primary job or a source of income ?  those boys are die hard  . i cant imagine their lives now if they have really done it .

Gambling and other forms of risky activity are only recomended for moderate use or for passing the time only . i cant also consider them as a stress reliever because you can get stress on them if you dont extend your temper
