2741  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Games' RTP, variable?? on: December 08, 2022, 07:12:24 AM
I a maner of 50/50 probability 13(and more) same result in a row can happen quite frequently ..  
But I think in the case of an inspection what they should do is inspecting your game/coin if it is all regular and searching for eventual shitting elements..

If they decide to just make some number of tosses what guarantees if you not just disabled the rigging system for the time of the inspection! ~

This is really interesting. Is it possible? Do you think it's possible to disable some rigging system for the time of the inspection, and then turn it on again? I mean, of course, it's possible, but I personally think that in reality inspectors are perfectly aware of such possibility, and there are measures in place for preventing it from happening.

I think that is depending on the licensing jurisdiction..
and I think that the thing is controlled like an administration/bureau is controlled.. I think that what is it.. or maybe authorities could ask providers/casinos to keep unalterable(like be backed online) registers/archives of all the operations made, and then the RNG should be encrypted by the licensing authority itself to put a signature certifying its use on the registers.

Most likely it is. Btw, do you happen to know, where we can read the requirements regarding slot games' RTP in any jurisdiction. Actually, it's so hard to find things like this, I would happily read any related information.


About the RTP,  Stake ordered/is running an enhanced RTP version of sweet bonanza (98%)  Grin

That's a pretty big enhancing! Sweet Bonanza slot normally has around 96.50% RTP, but are you sure it's Sweet Bonanza and not Sweet Fiesta?


 so the most of slot games operating are on the contrary repartiting the most of the returns on the small wins and making the big wins quite rare.. what should lead you to play more.. but (mathematically) the more you wager, the more you lose!

I think, it is more like, the more you wager, the more casino is earning. As for us regular gamblers, it all depends on luck, unless we are making tens of millions of spins. The more spins is done, the less it depends on luck, and the closer are we to losing exactly what we should lose in accordance with the RTP.
2742  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Candidates for the WORLD CUP 2022 Winner on: December 08, 2022, 06:32:33 AM
My ideal final would be Brazil vs England. I think Brazil has a great chance to qualify for the Final if their opponent in the semifinals is Netherlands. But if it turns out that Argentina can beat Netherlands, then Brazil's journey to the Final will not be easy. Meanwhile, for England, I think they will make a surprise. France is indeed a very strong opponent but I feel that England has a good chance to win against France, and they will also win again in the semifinals whoever the opponent is.
I’m on the same page with you on this prediction. England has shown to be a very serious contender for the trophy. They have all it takes to win France. The defense, midfield and attack are all functional. They got to the Finals of the Euros 2020 and that alone has proven that Gareth Southgate has his tactics and strategies on how to go far this time again. France are over dependent on few key players but England have been playing as a team and it’s been showing through out their games. For me Brazil vs England plays the finals.

I think there is a good chance for Brazil vs England final, but imo England vs Portugal is pretty possible too. It's interesting to me that most bettors think that France is more likely to win the next match. I'm almost 100% sure the winner will be England, as well as in the finals, but who England will be playing with in the World Cup Final, I don't know, I think it can be Portugal.

~ Ever had such concerns for security when visiting live casino centers?  or do other reasons which prevent you from using these live casino centers? (please state it). ~

Your concerns for security while visiting land-based casinos are legit imo. Apart from being not much of a fan of the public inside such places, I prefer not to visit land-based casinos for the security reasons.

If you play on a reputable online gambling platform, like most of those presented on this very site(check on their reputation here, of course!), and you win something big, the money is yours, you can be happy, and you can withdraw and celebrate. While in a land-based casino your big win may be only the beginning of some big problems.

It's a good article, although an old one. Can you write something about the situation in Crimea now, when it's occupied by Russian military forces and used for attacks on the Ukrainian mainland?

I heard that Crimean Tatars are not only fighting in the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the Russian invaders, but they have also organized an effective partisan movement inside Crimea, bombing warehouses with ammunition and stuff.
2745  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2024 Bitcoin Halving - What are Your Expectations!!! on: December 07, 2022, 10:34:31 AM
I agree. Just want to add that since we are talking about our expectations regarding the price of BTC, I want to say that I personally don't like when some Bitcoin supporters say "1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin". Not that it's not true, but you can say the same about Zimbabwean dollar, or any other trash currency, you can say the same about any sh*tcoin, right?

If something worthy has a limited all-time supply, the price of that thing will be rising in the future. It will never be a smooth ride up, the road will be bumpy, but overall it can go only one way.

Bitcoin was designed to be a deflationary cryptocurrency, so technically speaking, it should go up in price over time. But that doesn't mean there will be setbacks along the way. There will be times where prices will go all the way down the drain due to unfortunate events in the mainstream world. That's the right moment to invest into Bitcoin before everything goes back up again. If you're smart, you'd buy and "hodl" until the tide is over. Weak hands (especially newbies) will ultimately sell their Bitcoin because they truly don't know how the crypto market works. At least, we know Bitcoin won't be going anywhere soon. Who knows if 10-20 years into the future, Bitcoin reaches $1m per coin? Just my thoughts Grin

Totally agree with that. The times you are talking about is what we are living in now. I won't lie, I personally don't buy BTC these days, because my country is in a very harsh situation right now, no one can afford investing in other things than those of prime necessity. But it's obvious that BTC will reach a new ATH in a year or two, and people who buy it today will have a good return on their investment.

~ Even $200k is a very big amount for a draw. Duelbits is bringing back to back promotions which is quite surprising to me.
Increasing the capacity of the signature campaign to such extent is big and additionally the promotions rates are spiking up.
In fact, while writing this post I just cam across another promotion by them. It's good that Duelbits is focusing more on promotions.
It will definitely create a positive impact on their business.~

I'm not surprised at all. Duelbits has always been generous towards its users. I can remember multiple giveaways, competitions and stuff since I first saw them on bitcointalk. No wonder they are flourishing. Not only it's a well made site with a great reputation, they keep running amazing promos all the time.

Slots can really turn you into an addicted zombie in no time and I know this from first hand experience,I was such a zombie not caring about anything up until 2020 when I hit a big loss and decided with all my will to stop playing.Since then I play 50-100 dollars weekly and I call it a day won or lost session.

I think we all were there for at least some period of time. For me it was only two weeks, a year and a half ago, but I know what you are talking about. It's when the only thing that interests you is playing slots. Actually, I didn't lose much money during those days, but I definitely lost a lot of my precious time.

They are entertaining at the beginning but soon they become your worst nightmare and I never recommend anyone to play slots,in poker and sport betting you have somewhat much more control while in slot machines you just hit a spin button throwing yourself into total randomness which is programmed to make you lose money in the long run.

I wouldn't go so far to say that no one should play slots. Slots should be forbidden for minors, that's for sure. But for adults it's a good thing in many ways. I myself still play slots, but not more than 30-40 minutes per day, and not every day, of course.
2749  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter Crypto head and staff resigns on: December 06, 2022, 11:01:58 AM
When Twitter was officially bought by Elon Musk, of course, there would be many desired changes, he bought for $ 44 billion and of course, as a businessman, Elon Musk hopes to get RoI soon, the extreme plan that Twitter will present may conflict with the ideas of most current employees so they choose to resign.

In a good movie of this year, Triangle of Sadness, it was said, “growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.” I think Musk is not like that. He has enough of money, his estimated net worth is around $181 billion. He's smart enough to understand that adding another $100 billion to that will not make him happier. What he is doing in the recent years, not  only with twitter, is he is trying to make this world a better place. And he is succeeding in that course, in my opinion.

So close to each other, it's unbelievable! Good job, guys! And they say, "Bitcoin is unpredictable".  Grin

5 mBTC with just 1X wagering requirement is really a nice prize. Thank you, Bitcasino.io 💜 , for that! Smiley
BTC price is actually unpredictable though it does tend to behave like a stablecoin now and then. If predicting BTC price at any point of time would be easy, many investors would have become millionaires by now.

1x wagering requirement by Bitcasino is great though and it just goes to show that the casino isn't trying to cheat the winners.

Even if it were 10x wagering requirement I wouldn't call it "cheating" because Bitcasino was giving it for free. Basically, if you'd lose all that money, 5 mBTC, you'd still have fun playing, right? But is it possible to lose 5 mBTC through wagering it 10 times? It's really interesting to me, and I think I will conduct an experiment(playing in FUN mode on Bitcasino.io platform) to see what would left of 5 mBTC after wagering it 10 times. It will prove nothing, I know. Like one slot expert, whom I respect very much, once said, "Evidence" based on 1,000 spins is a story evidence, not statistical evidence. Ok, let it be just a story evidence, but it is still interesting, innit? Smiley

Congratulations bud, you are a lucky champ, aside betting, I've played dice several times in the past days, and like you said, I've never really tried the 100x bet because I feel it is impossible to win with that, so I consider it absolutely insane since it's just a waste of time and money, didn't know it was possible win.

Thanks for sharing this here by the way, you've just gave me something new to try when next I hit the dice table on stake.com, If I am lucky like you and won, I will share it here just as you've done.

You are welcome, mate. Just don't expect hitting it from the first try. But I wouldn't mind if you actually did hit it from the very first try and shared about it here. I've never hit 100x from the first try, but once I hit two 100x in a row. How about that? Smiley Normally I stop right after hitting something big(I play manually), but that time I did another roll by inertia, and it was 100x again!
2752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch To Ban Gambling Streaming By October 18th. on: December 06, 2022, 06:36:32 AM
~ Twitch is a huge platform with a big community so banning gambling streams won't affect them that much. They will never ban gambling streaming if it will affect their platform badly. I'm sure that they did a series of studies before they made this decision. However, it's another earning opportunity lost for streamers but they can still find other ways to do streaming. It is not the end for them yet, especially those with a huge number of followers.

I think about exactly the same thing: can banning gambling streams significantly affect top streamers on twitch? Yes, they will lose some money, that's for sure, because, I heard, with streaming gambling they receive 2-3 times more payment than they get from other streams, but would they move to another platform if streaming gambling were completely banned?
They will definitely move to another platform,  though it haven't occurred to me to research and see what was the later outcome of this since we are way past the October 18th which was the initial deadline, I believe that if the ban was later enforced, then it should be in full effect by now, I will try to find out later
~

As I see from the latest news, streaming purely luck-based games was banned on twitch, and now Twitch’s viewership is at its lowest point since September 2020, and, among other things, gambling ban has contributed to that, I'm sure.


But the sure thing is that most streamers will definitely move to another platform, I don't even know why they all would have to depend on one platform in the first place, there's Instagram, there's Facebook(though I hate this platform), there's YouTube(I don't know if gambling streams are legal here though), there are a lot other social media platforms where they can move, or better still, they come together and create their own streaming platform with zero censorship/that is completely decentralization.

Yes, look at this news:


Following Twitch's decision to ban some forms of gambling content on the streaming platform, Tyler “Trainwreck” Niknam — one of the biggest streamers on the website for several years — announced his plans to move over to a new streaming site known as Kick.com.


Trainwreck's channel still has a month old video with slots spinning



but it is called "LAST GAMBLING STREAM ON TWITCH". The video's got over 2 million views, and it looks like it was indeed the last gambling related stream by him. But I personally think Trainwreck won't actually leave twitch. We'll see.

Usually non-consistent results during free spins bonuses, the amount user can win is capped around 500x, from my personal experience. Hard to believe the house doesn't limit the winnings since the base bets are mostly less than $0.5. Imagine getting free spin bonus in most volatile slots like Tombstone Rip by NLC slot provider and hitting multiplier above 100kx. Btw max win is limited to 300kX per round in such slots, anyways imagine hitting such multi then quit gambling.

It's just your personal experience, and from my personal experience, it's even much less than 500x, but it doesn't mean the amount user can win is capped. You need slots to be coded like that, and we have no evidence of such cases in slots by any provider. Or maybe there are such cases, but I just don't know about them? Please give me a link so that I could learn more.

This is why I don't quite agree with calling them crypto casinos. They are online casinos that accept crypto payments. A real crypto casino is the one that uses cryptography and the blockchain technology in their games.

I'm sure they are using cryptography in their games, because hash function is cryptography, right? But regarding blockchain technology, how, in your opinion, it can be used in slot games, for instance? You mean using blockchain technology instead of RNG, right? In the case of slots it's thousands various outcomes per second worldwide. How can blockchain technology be of a help here?

2759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cock fight game on: December 05, 2022, 09:07:42 AM
Also, if it is not a luck based game, how would a casino integrate it into their online games? They would need to either buy a game built based on an algorithmic way to ensure that nobody can cheat by figuring out the algorithm.
If you never knew, the cock fighting is equally a luck base game, as in most cases is not always the biggest cock who wins a fight, just as in our normal MMA fighting, which requires skills, basic experience and more exposure to other cock for fighting will determine if a cock might either win or lose a fight during the main gambling fight.
And this game can be integrated into a programmable form into online gambling

Luck is a factor in everything, but compared to purely luck-based games, cock fighting is definitely not one of them. It can be compared to MMA fighting, you are right, but the big difference is that MMA fighters voluntarily take part in the event, while roosters are basically forced to participate.

We'll see, mate. Smiley I bet on Portugal before seeing your post, but normally betting with high odds on something that's unlikely to happen is what I like to do, because it's more fun imo, and so I sincerely wish you to win this one.

And today I saw another interesting thing for me in Sportsbet.io Specials. We can already make our bets on Oscars!





I bet on Michelle Yeoh because I'm a big fan of “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, and I bet on the same movie to win in the Best Picture category



But what I found out was that I didn't see the most part of the films that can be potentially nominated for the Best Picture. I will start correcting that mistake as soon as I can. Smiley
