Title: [ANN] Play HongKong MarkSix with bitcoins!
Post by: bitcoinmarksix on May 19, 2013, 10:41:35 AM
I am happy to announce bitcoinmarksix.com (http://bitcoinmarksix.com/) - the first online Mark six lottery game for bitcoins!


The Mark Six is a lottery style game where players guess what numbers will be drawn out of a lottery machine. The lottery machine is a transparent plastic cylinder which contains colored balls numbered 1 to 49. The cylinder is rotated to provide randomization in the drawing process.

HOW IT WORKS

You can easily bet Hong Kong Mark Six Lottery with bitcoins at BitcoinMarkSix, no matter where you come from.
The Winning number is exactly the Extra drawn number of Mark Six.
The Extra number is the last number which is drawn from a lottery machine,which is drawn from a pool of balls numbered 1 to 49 every Tuesday, Thursday and non-racing Saturday or Sunday. The lottery machine is a transparent plastic cylinder which contains colored balls numbered 1 to 49.
You place a bet by sending bitcoins to one of the addresses listed in the bet options table. And wait for the drawn result of Hong Kong Mark Six.
If your betting number is the same as the Extra number,you win! And your bet times 40, BitcoinMarkSix will send that amount to you soon.
The drawn time is at 9:15PM UTC+8(Hong Kong timezone) every drawn day,so your betting before that time is valid. If If you bet later than that time, your bet will be deemed the next drawn automatically.

MIN / MAX BETS
Because there is only a limited pool of funds to back bets, there is a max bet for each bet option. The max changes periodically also as bets are processed making what was previously a valid bet invalid as other bets are processed and paid. In this case, the bet will be returned regardless of whether you win or lose.

WALLET AND THE RETURN ADDRESS

IMPORTANT: Only use wallets that allow you to receive Bitcoin from the same address you sent from(such as bitcoin-QT). If you're not sure, send A small amount of Bitcoins(eg. 0.0001BTC) to the BitcoinMarkSix Test Address. If you get nothing back, then your wallet is not compatible.

Nice and simple concept. I think it has a lot of potential. However your RTP (Return to player) is a little over 81% (19% house edge). Whilst I understand this is (sorta) consistent with other lotteries, I'm not sure if it'll work so well in Bitcoin land :P

What's stopping someone from betitng on a SatoshiDICE or Primedice or Bitbattle etc. address on a near same multiplier, and getting nearly 1.2x the payout. Not to mention it'd be a lot quicker ^_^

Please feel free to correct me if I've misunderstood the concept or completely stuffed up my maths & there for got the RTP wrong.

Yes , you are right , BMS is simple and not so quick, but I think it is more reasonable

If you're using the official logo, won't that cause problems with the HKJC (Hong Kong Jockey Club), the owner/operator of Mark Six? I guess that question also comes up with all other lotto or gambling games.

It's not an issue to use the same numbers that were drawn. The problem is the logo or signage or something. If I use my country's lotto system as the source of drawings, no one will care (the players will see that I can't manipulate the game), but I don't think I can use the official logo.

Yes, you are right. Thanks for your kndly remind. I changed a new logo.

Btw,the minimum bet is changed to 0.001btc now, people can bet with more numbers to reduce the house edge,increase the win odds.

House edge won't decrease on more volume :) Your chance of winning increases but your risk increases relatively.
