Video about the game.

Please share your thoughts, it's a new game that we might be playing in the future and enjoying it.

Oh wow, this seems interesting. I never expected an IRL marble race, I actually thought it was akin to something like Twitch's Marble race thingy (dunno what it's called, just had the fortune to see it a few times). It looks nice, and the addition of the obstacles being connected as well as the bits of the hash being connected is a nice surprise. Never really thought of it that way, though if there was a way to increase the number of obstacles that'd be nice. A nice basis would be that marble race thingy on youtube.

Here's a sample
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssIYDJRGDeU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssIYDJRGDeU)

Ofc, adding this and accommodate it with provably fair elements may be difficult but Idrk. If it were to develop to something like this, then a marble league lead by that lil hamster could well be on its way.

Personally, I have no idea about this game, it's quite new but it seems interesting because it's in the headline of one of the most popular crypto news provider. So this game is not yet present in the existing sites now? I'm just curious.

This is new and only still support ether, according to video, the game is cool and everything about won are recorded on the ethereum blockchain directly, I like it like that. I hope gambling sites will support this too, in a way we can also make use of bitcoin directly to make bet with this kind of new game, and winnings to be recorded directly on the blockchain.

This is quiet an interesting game and honestly I also have no idea about the game and I have to know first if I can trust the gambling site because if not, I wont dare to try this game. You can really understand the game once you tried it so if you’re willing to risk some money, then better to try it and share your experience to us. :)

I think it's a new launch today, and I think the idea of that game is different from the other games, which is used hamster (if I am not mistaken). But the game integrated using the ethereum network to place the bet, and it is interesting and exciting. Somehow, I remember about pinball game, which is a popular game in real-life, and I think that game has used the idea of that game too.

by looking at the photo the first thing came in my brain is its a game about smashing hamster but on the pic the guy was holding a different hammer and its name was also marble race so im not sure at  all .

this game was new ( was it ? ) so im not convince that it will become the future of gambling . lots of new and weird gambling games have been introduced in the past but none of them became so trendy  but who knows .

It's new to us but I don't know if it's really new in the gambling world, and let's say it's new, it doesn't mean that people will easily accept the game, this is just unique, all I can say for now that's why I'm interested with your thoughts on this game.

I thought it was a game whenever there are fiesta in different city it is when you throw your coins and there are certain rewards on each square that you can get or no rewards when there's no sign in that square. I thought the man is holding the stick and getting the coins. Lol it's quite interesting that there are new type of gambling that can be try now.

Wow, I must say I wasn't expecting this. Congratulations to the creator for the effort. Really creative and impressive job!

However I'm not sure how scalable this is. This resembles more to a sports event than an online casino. If we bet on dogs and horses, why not do it on hamsters too? :))
Make sure you reward the hamster well for the effort.

This is going to be hard for people who likes to bet on races. Since this is new, a lot of works they have to do in studying how breeding and conditioning a hamster works to have a healthy body and lively characters in order to know where they are going to place their bets. Also, it's gonna be hard to know just by looking whether the hamster is in good condition or not, because you know, everything could happen in just blink of an eye and your money will be all gone.

This is really interesting game, a powered by hamster thing it's really nice to see this game actually I'm about to place bet already but I think it opens on December 21 right? Well I wanted to wait and try it for myself.

No it doesn't exist yet. According to the article, the game will be soon lunched in Ethereum mainnet. It should be actually in beta version in Ethereum testnet but no mention to any contract address for this code. Mayb it's still under developpement .
I search long in Internet but none said anything about this project in the past, all the articles are recent for less than 24 hour ago .

How are we sure of its fairness?

This is becoming like a real life unlike the usual card and dice we play. Marble still can be manipulated so there should be transparency to this and not just us watching the video of every round. Its exciting to see though, we only have 7 ball to pick right?

It's my first time to hear such thing, so every game there would be a live game? also I was curious about the hamster they will use is it only one? Does anyone think that would  be cruel or not?

It doesnt need for you to get some idea but basing off on the video then you can fully understand on what is all about.I presumed that you havent seen the video right?
You should see it first so that you would able to make up some nice inputs about the game which i do see somewhat a unique type.I have seen rat races in the past
and i do feel the same vibe with this one but it do looks interesting but the course is just too short imho.Well, we do like fast results but having that 1 or 2 kind of obstacles are
bit short or a little bit boring. They should at least on making it long to make those balls roll in a random manner.The whole idea is good but it did really just lack of
some obstacles.

It's just like horses, greyhounds and the likes. I think it's much better than cockfighting wherein they will let the rooster fight until one is dead that's the cruel one I think. But if you ever have an hamster you will surely see him running all the time it's like a leisure time to them.

Well, if they named it as marble racing they should have at least make a bigger race track with an advance obstacle which is the only thing that can manage to move is the hamster only. I've seen this kind of game in the past and it's quite amazing though betting with your favorite marble but I'm surprised to see this game here. Good luck to the owner of this game I hope to see an updated version of the game since it's quite uninteresting to see the game that ends fast(that would miss the fun though).

i'm not really into this kind of game but i think it's worth the try, it's not bad to try some unique games from time to time. i thought they are already operating but it looks like it's not yet.

Actually that hamster's job is only to spin that wheel by running and those obstacles are controlled once that wheel had been spinned.

Have you able to observe that? You are right that the obstacle isn't really that long or simply a short one just like what been mentioned by others above.

Lastly, this do talks about ETH gambling and they should put up bitcoin on this one for it to be relevant into this board.

It is interesting to see a game that includes a little about the ethereum, the hurdles are bit represented by the last eth blockhash I don't know if it's really real time but if it is the hurdles should move in a quick possible way, anyways I've already seen a marble race, I think it is quite a game for some people but I didn't really think it would be a gamble game lol with 8 marbles to only guess 1 it is hard but if the multiplier is huge people might try it. Has anyone already tried this ? Where?

It would be fun to know the experiences of those who already played it as it seems new and many will be able to add some ideas of feedbacks of it. , if there are already players who tried it since its somehow confusing how it will really work and how with the use of ethereum.

A new concept for me honestly maybe I could place some bets but I'm not quite sure I think it's hard to win on it. Imagine there's a lot of balls to place bet with and there's no assurance about which ball would go first.

Have checked their YT vid and find their site; So far the site is fully operational and do accept out bets but currently they are letting MIA to have some rest. ;D
https://mia.bet/play

You can follow them to other mediums as well.
https://twitter.com/miandthemarbles
https://miaandthemarbles.medium.com/

Honestly, this isnt unique but if multipliers are really that interesting then it might really get caught some interest on some people.

That's something interesting. I see that there really are no boundaries to what people can think of and make money on :D
And the idea with ETH block hash to verify that live stream isn't previously recorded and rigged is just brilliant. I admire how, despite what many uneducated people say, crypto actually provides society with methods to make different events more transparent and less corrupted.

Yeah, I've seen the whole video, I am just suggesting something if ever they want to make the game as enjoyable and not just purely for money making. It's said that gambling is for entertainment purposes only so they shouldn't forget about that. I have no problem with what crypto they offer as long as it could benefit both sides.

It's really unique, and I was very curious about the game after watching the video. I really like it and would like to try it soon.
It's really creative too, but I'm not sure this game will become popular. Because not everyone will like this type of game.
I appreciate the efforts of this game developer, it has been able to create new games in the world of gambling.

oh wow, what an idea. The variables to increase randomness is simply amazing. It would be great to see the exact mechanisms of those constructions on the side of the box.


If you think about it, the hamster doesn't realise his role in this big system that is the game. She does the part because she likes to thus creating a completely unbiased scenario from the player's perspective.

Maybe this can be scaled to nominal actions of people or other tangible things anonymously resulting in high degrees of unbias and randomness.

I even don't know this as well.

Well, it was just a teaser of the game but it gives already some interest, and most probably, it hits once launch and opens to the public.
I see this as an easy game for everyone, but the thing it needs only luck, not a skill or any strategies to applied.

Many of us saw that the game was new because we just read from this thread and watched the video. Yeah, it did a new idea from the developer made, and I think that can make people curious to play that game. The game is unique and looks different from the other gambling game, which can be popular among gamblers. But you need to be cautious and always manage your money because it seems that the game can give us another attractive new gambling game to make us spend more money to play.

I have no idea about this game either but since the video is informative and easy to understand, I could say that it's easy to play and entertaining at the same time. It's almost similar to the color game that we have in our country. I find it interesting since it's a new game and I might try it as soon as possible.

I don't even understand how to that game maybe if they have video tutorial I will understand. Before launching I am sure they will provide guide how to play that games it may be difficult at start but once you learn it you can use different types of strategy that will help you to win in that new game. And by my understanding it's ethereum platform games so I assume you can only use ethereum or tokens to play at the Early stage.

This one is some kind of unique game. It will gonna launch soon so we may try out this new game . In fact, it is more fun to know about how this marble racing works , well the picture showed like a golf game ;D . But I realized they called that circle the hamster wheel.
 
 I also like the idea of how they plan their fairness to works which they will gonna provide a live video stream to ease the doubt of the players that the race is not pre recorded as well.

It’s going to be fun as new game so new technique and looks quite interesting about the game. Initially may have some hiccups in understating even after looking at the video but finally with some experience and knowledge once we start to play it will get more clearer and more fun to play it seems.

Yeah, I don't know about that game because it is the first time I see it. I hope that the developer or their team can visit here and explain their idea on that game to know more about the game. That game is interesting, but unfortunately, I have a visual problem, and I think that is because of one or more of my plugins errors.

Interest may flow as new approach with this gambling game may take place.

Personally I don't have any idea about this game and by reading it and checking the concept I may try it and see if it will fit on my
gambling enjoyment, Good thing to consider is the developer will use ETH chain. With the upcoming update it will be test if this kind
of adoptions may not affects the chain the same thing happened before with those games that being introduce using ETH system.

Hamster based marble games sounds like fun. There should be a lot of randomness involved which makes it suited well die gambling. I saw a few videos from some Dutch guys who make a European marble championship and comment om  it like it's a Formel 1 race Cup. Which basically complete randomness involved. Taking now hamster into that game could make some hamsters more suited for it than others. Maybe we get a legend hamster who wins us big money?

Maybe other sites are waiting for the responds of gamblers and the demand before cooking their own version.

We knew each site are first trying the most popular and demand before extending other games and as business strategy needs.

But as this looks exciting and Cool new game for sure it won't take time before being played by Many.

They already upload the youtube video link, It is clearly explain the game method. If you believe the gaming method you can try this game and update the features of this game. They accept the Ethereum so it is really easy to handle in everyone. But they mention it is a first marble racing platform on blockchain. Those are interested in this game, start the low volume investment is a perfect way to survive.

kudos to that guy that creates or explain on the video , making a good explanation does really make wonders for the people to easily understand a game that they are not familiar of but also it will still depends on the viewer of the video if he has a good brain that can easily adapt if whats going on in the video .

i know color game . color game is where you drop 3 colored box from the top but the goal of the game is not about racing while the new game here is said to be a race because if its name which is marble racing but played by real hamster

I was curious based on the video how it was a blockchain secured racetrack? Well this is a new type of game which is really interesting but there's a lot of marbles to choose from I really think this would not be an easy game.

This isnt an investment but rather a gambling game and if you do want to have some entertainment about marble game then this one is for you.I dont know how those
pinwheel do really get involved into those obstacles for it to pop up yet its a circuit operated or some sort then that would really be enough to prove out the fairness
of this game

and just like what other mentioned that the course and obstacles are a little bit short and they should at least make it longer to make it more entertaining.

Same here, maybe we will know how it's done once this game will be launch.
I had no idea that this game exist in real life, right before the blockchain of course as this one they are trying to digitalized it.

Thanks for sharing OP, crypto gambling world has become bigger and bigger with new games being introduce.

The game was launched on Monday, November 30, 2020 ;)

You can check on the description in the Youtube video. Here is the website: https://mia.bet

The game visualization using a real hampster and real balls with all materials like what we watched on that video, but I don't know how it looks like on the browser because I can not watch it using my browser. It says player.vimeo.com took too long to respond. I don't check what is wrong, but maybe later I will do that.

I watched the video and the game looks interesting. At first, I thought that hamsters are going to race, but they are just involved in controlling the obstacles. I just hope that the track is longer than what is shown in the video.

I've seen marble races on youtube and I never thought that they will use it in gambling. Watching the hamster run on the wheels is cute, and good thing no hamster was harmed in the video. LOL!

Yes I don't think they will be harmed since it's their hobby to run on the obstacle. Also based on the video I think the marble race is not that long. May I know when will the first race will start it looks like their on the live stream now but I don't see any bet so far.

On games like these then it should really be a live one rather than a pre-recorded because it wont really be showing when it comes to fairness and not all

would really be interested about it if their bets wont really be on the live one.I don't see any harming of animals on this matter yet as said where hamsters do really

have that normal scenario on running on a wheel and its one of the factors that do really give out some function to the obstacles and as said it isn't really that long for us to enjoy.

I've seen a lot of hamster maze with traps videos and I guess the team already thought not to hurt the hamster in the process. I haven't thought that they will develop a gambling platform out of this. If nothing else, this is new to the eyes of the gamblers and they may attract bettors easily. Let us see how far they will grow in terms of YT subscribers. As of this moment, they have 33 subscribers, let's see after a month of launching this site.

Don't expect an easy game when you're betting involves money, of course that's business and they'll always making it sure to prioritize their profit. Learning stages is quite difficult to obtain, so we need more time to deal with and what I can suggest for now is to observe the pattern and soon you'll learn everything on this game by betting few amounts of it in order to familiarize thoroughly.

The game is captivating but if I am not mistaken the game hasn't been launched yet. Once it's already operational I might try it as well. The only thing that makes me think about this game is the assurance of provably fair, we are not even sure if those marbles that will be used has the same weight since the gravitational pull is one of the factors that may affect the race and weight has something to do with it, just a guess.

I also pity those hamsters that will be part of this race that they need to run at about 8 kilometers a day, that's really tiring I supposed, and hope they will get a permit first for using a hamster in this game.

Checking their FAQ section - there is question about Mia, the hamster.

https://i.imgur.com/oFn24Wy.png

So let's assume that everything has been taken care of for Mia.
With regards to the marbles used, we won't know their exact weight unless, the team will show the live weighing of each marble used.
But that's a good question.


And if the OP can also post the official website of this gambling platform. Thanks.

https://mia.bet/

We would know if the game is already live, I am a bit confuse about how this game is played though, for me, the introduction video is not enough for me to fully understand what's going on here, but like I said, when it's live we will know. It's been shared in the forum, so hopefully they'll use our forum as one of their platform to inform gamblers when they launch this game.

I doubt they would actively use this forum to inform us here whenever the game is live, if we look at the official account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2710063) of mia.bet behavior it seems they would not to do it. They only share their service and show us that they exist I guess.

It's their ANN when still in the beta stage -> 🐹Introducing mia.bet: Bet ETH on hamster 🐹 powered marble races | beta (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5206396.0)

certainly not new in the gambling world but "hamster powered" is probably unheard of.

there are people who are already invested in it to the point that there are Olympics or championship tournament where you can bet but the game itself and the betting side is still widely unknown to many people.
and my personal opinion, I find the game quite mesmerising although I wouldn't say that I liked the game and would bet or watch every time that there is a tournament or a betting odd available on a bookie.

Marble race isn't something new, and I was a big fan of it a few months ago when some streamers play the "Marbles on Stream" game.
Agree that the hamster element is the new part and probably unnecessary because the track can be powered by electricity.

IMO this game is more like a lottery game or lighting dice —100% about luck.

If you want a substitute for horse race, I think that it will be a good alternative. I too find it quirky but they have a good concept.

No way man! In the horse race, you still have (or can get) the data of:
- breed
- past injuries
- age
- jockey
- horse physical condition

And in marble, the difference between one and another is only about color. Everything else, material, shape, weight, is pretty much the same. ;D

How about the weight of the balls used for rolling was that measured first before the game starts? I think they should provide more of that as weight is a general factor here even if they hit that ETH logo on the center. I think this is a unique game and more of most probably fair and doesn't depend on strategy but as I said I think they should provide proof of each ball weighs similarly, just my two cents.

i thought it was Indiana Jones in Arcade lol.

But the game is cool though i'm looking for much longer challenge,i Mean the platform and obstacles are wider and longer.

But i will surely Play this once available ,and also this will attract sets of Players because of uniqueness and originality .

I agree with this this is not a horse game since you will not be able to analyze the marbles they are all the same except for the colors of it. well this is most likely a random game so we are sure that this is really fair.

I have mixed feelings about this. I created a discussion  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5249536)a while ago about the Marble League (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYJdpnjuSWVOLgGT9fIzL0g) and betting on it. The marbles look very similar and watching them is IMO pretty engaging, but I think the Marble League is actually better than this hamster-marble thing. I don't like the hamster version for two reasons:
1. It doesn't seem right to treat the poor hamster like this, making it run and run, so that people can bet and bet.
2. Introducing a pet into the race can raise fairness questions (what if Mia's owners can somehow make her spin in the wheel father or slower, or give preferences to certain marbles by training her to make certain moves at certain times?

I will try and learn this game even though it doesn't look easy as it appears. As always, all board games have a similar pattern to play them but I still new to this, will put effort to learn it. All things are not easy but with some try and effort, we can understand it.

I often see some videos of this where the people are arranging their own track of obstacles and take a video of it. I was actually interested in the game knowing that it will be provably fair and will run on the Ethereum Blockchain. The only thing I am concerned with si the long-term excitement that the players could get when playing this game. The obstacle should always change as it will be boring if they can only see the same tracks over and over again. They can also think of other ideas aside from marbles to make gambling game.

It just wasn't clear from the video how the game itself will run as I was confused whether it will be a live video like the video posted, or an animated game.

it is live video, if you check their site right now, there is a live feed and it will tell you when the race will start.
 and if you are concerned bout the obstacles, i guess for now you will see the same tracks over and over again. but if the team will receive suggestions from their players, they will create a new one. but right now, lets see if they will attract some bettors here.
and hopefully, they will find this forum and create their official thread here. it is better if they have official rep here so users can easily reach out to them

If you are keen to learn things out about to this types of gambling then putting extra time and efforts will help you to advance, since this game is new it will be tough for now but in times that you are playing it, chances of  understanding the concepts and forming strategies are very possible.

It's your willingness to learn and the passion to have an extra edge start with your dedication
and your patience, it keeps your skills improved when you play.

Does it really needed to be learned?

If you do have some time on checking out the video then you would say that the thing you are saying isn't connected.Theres no pattern
and its clear that you are just shitposting dude.

Even with your common sense you can understand on how things go and happening.

I just checked the video out and honestly all my troubles regarding animal rights and such, all went away, as well as my questions regarding the provability of the game. I'd say it's... Interesting and quite weird as we are beginning to trust a hamster more than our fellow people. Nonetheless this is an innovative concept, and would love to see this project succeed in the future. Exactly, gamblers would want a new flavor to spice up their game every now and then, and it's the reason why this game is blowing up in this forum. As the project progresses and its funding increased, we hope to see different racetracks powered by different hamsters with a live feed on the hamsters too cause they are cute.

I don't really know these game but it seems that the format of the game really looks like cricket game which is not the one, if assume is a game we know I think we won't have gazing to know it, from my views its obvious that i don't have any ideas concerning the game except someone who knows it better will explain to my understanding, I know very well that many people are not well acclimatize with game even the pictures, and i know that its obvious that we have different varieties of sports game and we can only be aware to the one we grow up with or the one we play.

Hamsters has long been explored with the use of these mazes and tracks. But it is my first time to see them to be used in the gambling platform. But I am wondering, even if this game is live, is there a bit of delay in broadcasting it? As I have seen, they have 20% house edge here, though 50% will be used for the next seed round. That's high though. I hope someone from the team knows that they are being discussed here in the forum.

Cricket game? No its not. This is a type of game which is ran by a hamster with some mix of those eth hashes that do connect out to the obstacles.
Just like on what other users said that ive been wondering on why some people doesnt recognize this even the video do shows on what it is all about?
Its been clearly said and demonstrated on how it works and how those marbles do go to that final spot and take rankings.
You do just need to bet and wait on whats the outcome on what color of marble will able to take first as simple as that.
Theres no need for some awareness or explanation because its just really easy to understand.

Another interesting game which I think that gamblers are eager to try this.
A lot of games using marble but this thing is made so simple and only our luck helps for us to win. But I'd never saw those games played online, only I saw this to local activities like fiesta's.

Well, people says it was interesting but I'm not sure if that hits since it was a pure-base luck game. That is somewhat different when you can maximize your skills and knowledge than waiting for our luck to come. Easy game, easy to lose also.

It was brought into the blockchain and this is the first gambling site to launch this kind of game, so it's very important to know how people would react on this, will it be a success or a big failure, let's see.

I've re read the article https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-future-of-gambling-hamster-powered-marble-races-come-to-ethereum
it seems like it's not stated when it will be launch, just a sneak peek maybe.

OK but the structure of the game really similar to cricket game, I know is easy to understand for someone that have the basic knowledge of it, because its very obvious that what we don't know even though watched it hundred times we can't understand everything about it, so therefore some people will likely need a concrete information concerning it in order to master it, I use my self as a case study, I don't know the game and I never come in contact with it.

I never heard about this game but it seems to look interested and different from other games. By reading the article I assume that this game doesn't exist and soon will be available for the future gambler. I did some research to find the game but no one talk about it nor the projects. All we can do wait and let the developer do their job for us

original idea, this is a very funny way to gamble but in my opinion very dangerous.
there is literally no chance to predict any run... game itself its very fast and people could lose money in a couple of seconds...
the game ok is "probably fair" game, but has some "home made" aspect that left a bit skeptic....

This is the first time I have read this kind of game. I wonder if this kind of game will be adopt by other online casino. Seems this is interesting game a hamster -powered marble races which I think many gambler will try this out. As I read the article no indicated date yet when it will be launch so let's see for their next update.

Hi all!
Mia from "Mia & the Marbles" here.

I've been notified by one of your members that this thread exists here.
Really amazing to read all the feedback and questions you have!
I think it would be best if I start an official thread in this forum and try answer questions an provide infos there, so that future visitors can profit from it too.

Which subforum would be the best place to post this in?

Maybe one of the more experienced forum users could point me to the right spot.
I've read the rules and it looks like altcoin services are not allowed in the main gambling forum. And its not clear to me if you consider Ethereum an altcoin or not...
Our official go-live post in the "Gambling > Game & Rounds" subforum didn't get much attention, maybe that was not the best place:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5295092.0


Just to address the most important questions in the mean time:

- We are already live! Visit https://mia.bet to see everything. The live stream will start each day at 5 PM GMT and is online for 12hours. Bets can be placed anytime in between races.

- To understand the game, watch our "How-to" video on the website, or directly on youtube: https://youtu.be/4ZWkjeaMIEc
We also have FAQ section on the website, which should answer many questions and will get improved over time.


Cheers to all of you!
Mia

This is like a racing game where you bet on the car's color, in this you are betting on the is it marble? I guess games in real-world is really transforming into digital games, if you are familiar with the arcades in the mall, they are the same betting on a ball or animal-like, and given the tokens or coins to the winner, this is very interesting

Trying and mastering how to play this new game, I don’t think there are many rules to memorize, so in a short time players can master it,
especially if they can win it. However, I am not sure if this new game will be popular such as Poker, BlackJack, Baccarat, Domino QQ,
Slots and many more popular games. But I admit every time there is a new game, it will be curious for some players. That’s because we’re bored with old games.
We can also try our luck in a new game. Who knows this game isn’t as difficult as we imagined.

Copy paste but not fully copied paste, they are bringing it to the blockchain world, that means they want to make this game popular and hope that we will like it, it's a new game and we don't know if gamblers will embrace it because everyone wants a simple game and not a complicated one, but new ideas are always welcome.

This game is the most fair game that I have ever known because the possibilities are almost equal and the factors that only gives an advantage to one marble is the placement. This game also gives us a live marble race so we can see who really wins. This kind of games is what we need to spread because it has a lot of thrill and very entertaining.

Okay , I cannot get enough of the cute hamster , but I do think the only way one should go about this is if the hamsters are taken good care of , they are not misused or anything. They need to get proper food , rest and stay hydrated so that Nothing bad happens and the safety of the equipments also needs to be checked. Now we move onto the other thing:
Isn't this going to be a small scale game ? I do believe it would be incredibly fair since the little guy won't do anything, good idea though this way your pet will be engaged and you can also start a small business without hurting anyone.
The probability would be 1/10 and betting on the marble means some people would want to check on all of them for deformities and even the equipments. How would you go about that part ??

The odds are equal and there's next to 0 chance of any cheats for a specific ball to enter the end point first. So a possible 5x on your investment if your ball wins. I visited mia.bet today which is a project that was proposed and brought up last year, and got to watch a new thread about it 6 days ago. I think these new games are the future as everyone is getting bored by the rigged games on most game providers.

In this game, manipulations are possible (I am not saying that they exist, but they can be - this is a fact) - you cannot remotely check the mass of the balls, the material from which they are made (maybe magnetic alloys), etc. In addition, you need to make sure that you are watching the live stream and not the recording.
But I agree that this is a fresh and interesting approach and is very good for an entertaining competition with friends, for example.

The chances of this game being rigged are least because of the limited bets per round. I know I can't argue on this topic as it's not too long since we can decide on the legitimacy of such game which is completely new and yeah, there's not much I can say about the mass of the balls, but the only thing I see for this game to cheat us is when we are shown a recorded stream as a live one.

Is there a limit on the amount you can bet or the number of bets in this game? If the first option and this amount is low, then the game is undoubtedly safe, since the ratio of profitability from falsification and the risk of losing reputation in favor of the player. As far as I understood, this is a new project and they are most interested in the players being confident in the fairness of the game, otherwise the project will not develop.

I've never see anything like that. The track is made of... lego bricks. That's interesting :D

Who would have thought that people will be watching balss rolling by themselves on a track and betting money on it. One of the strangest ways to gamble that I've seen, apart from maybe bug fights.

From their FAQ section (https://mia.bet/faq), they said you can bet multiple marbles at the same time.
If only the mia team can have their official account here, that would be better for the community.
This game is an interesting one for us because it is different from the usual casino games that we have here.
But in case you have other questions - I think you can easily reach them via telegram - https://t.me/miaAndTheMarbles.

To be honest I really like hamsters, very cute and adorable. This is what makes me interested in this game. Moreover, the idea is
very unique by involving hamsters. I have to admit that the creators of these games are very creative. As soon as I saw the sample
video on YouTube, I was immediately curious to play these games. Hopefully I can try it in the near future.

it seems  like that, game of chance still but it's also  enjoyable if you'll treat it that way, you can find yourself a good past time
once you understand the logic of the game.

Everything can learn depends from how you really interest within this new game offers, nice thing to consider is the relations within
crypto industry, chance to have seen more developments once things start to show up perfectly.

Just like the other members here in the forum, I had no idea about this game, I think this type of games came from Japan, China, Korea but not so sure but the most closest is the Philippines, because they have a color game in the festival carnival where you need to choose a color then you will only win if the color you choose is the one will appear something like that. But surely it is an easy game 100%.

Sometimes, people only learn the basic lesson on those games and do not know more details because they found that the game is attractive, and they play that game because of their curiosity. They will try to learn more about the game if they have a reason to win many times. But I think the game needs more promotion to invite people to play those games, and I think if the developers have more time, they will do that later.

so this was a scheduled game? as i visit it it was scheduled for december 8 i thought this would be a 24 hours game and will continuously run the game with different hamster.

Those marbles should really be weighted to the last ounce, because a slight difference in weight and specifications for the marble means a high chance for that ‘oddball’ to always win seeing that the race is mostly gravity-assisted. Idk who actually thought of this but it’s entertaining to watch and quite fun, although I don’t know about the gambling part. That I still have some problems and some more questions honestly.

Thanks for the info, I guess I'll be following this project. It would be nice if they opened their thread here, I think they could find many new clients this way.
By the way, I think that if they become popular then their YouTube channel will bring in no less profit than their main activity  :D

Thanks for the suggestion with YouTube :D

Do you know which subforum we should best post our official thread in?
I've read the rules and it looks like altcoin services are not allowed in the main gambling forum. And its not clear to me if you consider Ethereum an altcoin or not...
Our official go-live post in the "Gambling > Game & Rounds" subforum didn't get much attention, maybe that was not the best place:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5295092.0

It is good that you have official account in the forum. A lot of users here in this thread thought that you don't have account yet. Anyway, the gambling board here is the usual go-to of gamblers. If you can add bitcoin as part of payment method in your site, you can easily post your own thread in the gambling section. I don't know if it would be easy in your current set-up though. This thread itself attracted attention as compared to your own thread in games & rounds.  :P

This is indeed a gravity assisted type of game and just like on lotteries too where balls had been fairly weighed in before it would be drawn so that it will show up some fairness
because the lighter the ball its likely to be drawn out.

Just like into this game where ball weight would really be a big factor for it to reach it first to the bottom.Those obstacles arent really that challenging where a eth-shaped
that spins and some pillars that do only comes out on a very delay manner.

What questions you do had in mind? yet this is just a very basic game.

Humans are indeed creative creatures, new ideas always emerge. I didn't even think Hamsters could be involved in the gambling game.
As soon as I saw a video on the youtube platform regarding the hamster-powered marble races, what comes to my mind spontaneously is
that I want to know more about these games. And of course I'm curious to try it.

It attracts attention due to its creativity and uniqueness.

After watching that video you'll be move to look forward experiencing the game itself, that's natural as part of excitement and the feel of knowing how things works within this kind of new offering, the developers enticement is very effective. More on the entertaining part but
since it's a gambling game for sure gamblers will aimed for advantages that they might find.

They should've indicated if there will be a real hamster or obstacle in the game, as what I have seen in the video, it was clearly indicated that a hamster will start each game. But if it will be online, I think the idea will just remain but the implementation will be very much different. One thing to consider is the timezone, they need to adhere to almost every timezone where gamblers are playing. That means that the only way to apply the concept of the game is to implement an automated game and it will be better if it is provably fair so that even if the gamblers couldn't see the reality, the virtual implementation will still be verified. IMO, the idea is really unique for a gambling site to do this kind of game, but I can say that I already saw some videos of marbles racing on social media. Good thing that we will really benefit from it for now.
