It's not really useful, unless the casino is extraordinarily stupid. Most casinos will use a cryptographically secure source of random, as opposed to a pattern that looks random.

The house continues to take a pummeling, falling a total of over 35 BTC in the last couple of days. TechAnalysis has been really capitalizing on some of the high-rolls: Taking a cool 4.8 BTC, and then repeating the feat literally 3 games later:

MoneyPot homepage has undergone a bit of a facelift, to better explain how it works =)

Players are getting their revenge against bustabit.com, cashing out a net total of 28 BTC in profits in the last 24h.
Especially kamsrk, who's currently hovering at +22 BTC in profit.

TechAnalysis is on fire. Hitting a 5.165 BTC profit on a 0.25 BTC bet:

Thanks for all the players! We've improved performance, and reached a new milestone. DustDice.com itself has made 0.5 BTC risk free (as well as MP.com, in the 50/50 profit share), and investors have netted 2 BTC profit in total (at considerable risk).
Give it a try, and we'd love to see you on the chat

If you get the chance, could you create a placeholder for DustDice? I created a little icon: and would like to outbid myself for casino of the month =)

If anyone is trying to get their money out of this site, try: sudo sh -c "echo '82.221.128.81 www.satoshimines.com' >> /etc/hosts"
then navigate to https://www.satoshimines.com, where you should see a valid ssl cert (if you don't, don't proceed), and withdrawing your funds if at all possible. After you do this, you can remove the alias in your /etc/hosts file if you want

Is there any new, different type of gambling site? Or a dice site with a high max profit and speedy bets?
You tried bustabit or dustdice, they're pretty unique each in their own respect

I haven't played in a minute but the jackpot was the only reason I played here over other dice sites. It's neutral EV so not sure why people didn't like it, plus it's always fun when you hit one. Was it not possible to just have people opt in/opt out of playing with/without the jackpot?
It's a really tricky thing, as it's really hard to tell with these sort of things. No matter what the feature or idea is, there will always be some people who vocally hate it, and people who vocally support it. But probably the biggest criticism one could say about the jackpot was that probably only 10% of people actually understood how it really worked, it's just not very intuitive. We hope the new system is a bit cleaner, and people enjoy the simplicity of it However, multi-outcome rolls like jackpot dice are something that the MoneyPot api natively supports and we'd love to see people take the idea and run with it. Anyone is welcome to fork the code of dustdice and more than that, we're in the late stages of preparing the documentation, template and tutorial for people to very easily start their own secure casino.

Gave it a try it is fun I can't seem to find chat though.
It's in the top right, there's a little chat icon which brings out a chat bar Also will chat be available across all the new games launched with moneypot.com?
That's the plan, any app that registers with moneypot.com should be able to use our chat server https://github.com/moneypot/chat via its API. It's a work in progress, however. But DustDice is already using it

We just pushed a big update, which removes the jackpot and slightly lowers the house edge even further.
We heard a lot confusion about the jackpot, and dislike from people who felt it was impure that they couldn't opt-out of the jackpot. So here's what we did:
Instead of the possibilities being 1 to 100 coming up it is now 0 to 100, which means there's 101 possibilities. The "standard" bet, with a 2x payout is "< 50" and "> 50" which leads to a house edge of around 0.99%
Give it a try, and let us know what you think!

what is min investment? im interested
Right now there's effectively no minimum, so people can try it. However in the future, it'll probably be 10k bits or so.

Would it be possible to do a trial run, with 50% bonus? It would be great if you could activate it, on the fly.... {You announce in the chat.... For the next hour, it is MEGA BONUS time... and people would receive 50% Bonus for the next hour... like "happy Hour" in a bar} Or you could implement it, at fixed times during the day, and publish these times on the site. If it's still profitable and increase traffic, it could become a permanent thing. My thoughts were to run it at a different place, like bustabit.com/gladiator as there would otherwise be too many people who end up getting burnt with strategies running unaware. The main challenge would just be promoting it enough, that when we do it -- there would be enough people playing. Perhaps we need a global banner, announcing the time of the next gladiator rounds, and during the rounds there are plenty of giveaways =)

If the casino is covering some bets itself and passing others to moneypot, doesn't that increase the potential for the casino cheating?
Presumably there would be two sets of seeds (in-house, and moneypot) and the site gets to choose which set of seeds to use for each bet, giving them two chances to win each bet.
Another option: if a casino wanted to hedge some of their bets against MP they could *always* use our seeds. Only as an internal implementation detail decide how much of that risk themselves to take. That keeps things simple for the user as there is only a single seed to verify. In reality though, I think most casinos are much better off just placing all bets against MPs bankroll. It keeps things simple for everyone, and the sort of bets a casino would want to back themselves are already the most profitable ones using the MP system anyway. If the 50-50 profit split is too onerous and you're thinking of backing some of the bets, get in contact with me and I can move that split more in your favor (as I've already done for 1 new casino)

In another thread, someone has been talking about a gladiator version of bustabit, where instead of 1% bonus there would 100% bonus (so the only thing that matters, is when you cashout). So it would be extremely competitive.
Something you guys would enjoy? Or perhaps a more compromise, like 50% bonus ?
