I could use the players YAW position (Seen by pressing F3 in-game and looking at the value) 'f'. This is the exact direction the player is facing and players can confirm it
I would rather it was something that I can confirm for all players. For example, if you take the last thing said by each player who bet, and show that on the webpage, I can check that you have the right thing for all players. If a player hasn't spoken, use the empty string for them. Then I can say "go number 3!" before the off, and actually have it influence the outcome. If a player doesn't care to change their seed (by talking) they don't have to, and they contribute the same to the seed for each event until they happen to speak. Just a simple sha256(player1string|player2string|...) would do for the 'client(s)' seed. What do you think?

Remember when software was purchased as source code printed out in magazines and you had to key it all in to use it?
Sometimes they would just publish the binary, as a hex dump, and you had to type in the hex characters. That was really painful. At least while typing in source code you could get an idea of what was going on. But hex just looks like hex...

I think minefield can be a bad deal through. Humans are pretty bad at generating randomness, and some grids would be dug more often than others. The operator could weigh the mines to those grids more, giving them a higher house edge.
Yes. The same goes for pig racing and roulette too. Some players will tend to bet more on long-odds pigs, others will more often back the favourites. Some players favour red, some always bet on zero, etc. But if the player plays randomly, there's no "bad deal". In blackjack there is.

One thing that occurred to me about the provable fairness: For roulette, minefield, and pig racing, there's no such thing as a "bad deal" for the player. You pick the result in advance, publish the hash, and the user can verify after the event that you chose the result before they bet, so you can't be cheating. (Well, if a player is playing red over and over again you could deliberately pick black over and over, and publish a hash of you picking black before the player places his bet). With blackjack however, there is such a thing as a "bad deal". When you're playing against a single player you can deliberately pick shuffles which give the dealer blackjack more often than he should. The way most provably fair blackjack sites (all 2 of them?) work is that they allow the player to provide part of the random seed, publish the server half of the random seed before the game, and publish the shuffle algorithm. That way the casino has no way of picking preferable shuffles. bitZino has this great writeup about how it works. Currently your blackjack doesn't appear to be provably fair. All you seem to be proving is that you picked the (possibly rigged) deck before the players played, rather than during or after. Comments?

The workaround is sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.
xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop will work too.

- Our software has a full log of all game play with details of symbols or cards etc.
You told us previously you didn't have any record of the client's games: We are looking into resolving this issue as quickly as possible. Current investigations shows no records of this game play.
- If the our servers do not register a game play the client will throughout an error
That sentence like totally parse error. As heart_mons stated this issue was resolved to the players full satisfaction.
Can you clear up for us what happened? How was a customer able to think he had won thousands of dollars whereas you couldn't find any record of his play?

The cool thing here is that hey! There exists a venture in Bitcoinland which can afford to lose a bet at such odds and it barely registers in the bottom line.
That's what I took away from it too... SatoshiDice pays out 64000 times a player's stake without missing a beat. The 'bottom line' is making good progress on recovering from the big payout, too (which is the sudden drop 2/3 of the way through Feb 24th): ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FqsBXFSZ.png&t=665&c=Jvl6sJaN_--UjA)

I had 3.8195 BTC. Bet 1 BTC on 3 different pigs, then had 0.8195 BTC. One of my pigs won, with a 3.5x payout. The game told me I had "won 2.4975"
Notice that when I win a 1 BTC bet on a 3.5x payout, I expect to get 3.5 BTC, not 3.4975 BTC. I expect that's a rounding error somewhere, but you should try to make rounding errors work in the player's favour. Never give them less than you promised them. If you're rounding 3.4975x up to 3.5x when displaying the promised odds, you should also round it up to 3.5x when paying out...

When I win a 1 BTC hand of blackjack, it tells me I won 2 BTC. That includes my original stake, not just my profit. When my pig wins at 2x multiplier on a 1 BTC bet, it tells me I won 1 BTC. That's just my profit, and doesn't include the stake. I think you should pick one of the other and be consistent across all games. I think the blackjack way is better, because then you don't have to take the stakes into account. Currently if I bet 1 BTC on 2 different 2x pigs and one wins, it tells me I won 1 BTC, which isn't true at all. I won 2 BTC in total, and bet 2 BTC, so my net profit is 0 BTC. If you're going to subtract the stake you should subtract all the stakes, not just the winning one. A real example: I had 3.8195 BTC. Bet 1 BTC on 3 different pigs, then had 0.8195 BTC. One of my pigs won, with a 3.5x payout. The game told me I had "won 2.4975", and then my balance was 4.317 BTC. So I was up 0.4975 after winning 3.4975. There's no 2.4975 anywhere.

WOW, is it really the first time < 1?
It's not the first time someone's rolled a zero, but it is the first time someone has rolled a zero when playing "lessthan 1". In 6.5 million bets we'd expect to see something of the order of 100 zero rolls. There have only been 88,000 "lessthan 1" bets, so 1 is the most likely number of winners.

I have a sort of issue with this site because I feel like blackjack has an inordinately high amount of face cards flipped.
[...]
Has anybody else played enough blackjack and feels like you lose too often?
A deck rich in face cards is good for the player. Card counters increase their bet when there are more than the average number of face cards left. So if (and I very much doubt it) more face cards are showing up than should, I wouldn't complain about it!

Wow, no cell coverage? Where are you?! Even Kenya and Somalia have cell coverage. I imagine you're living out in the sticks with satellite internet:)
I'm out in the sticks in Canada. It's a huge country, and seems to only have cell coverage in the populated areas and along the highways. I don't have any other services either, like electricity, water, etc. so it's not just cell service I'm missing... Quick question:
Shouldn't the non-5-credit games be the proper 250*credits_per_game? Better yet, you could use the results from /videopoker/paytables to get the Royal Flush payouts. But it's certainly not a 4000 payout when betting 1 credit.
Well, that variable is only used to tell 'jacks' (the C program that works out which cards to hold) what the payout for a royal flush is. 'jacks' only knows the payouts for 5 chips, and so I tell it the royal is worth 4000 chips if the progressive pot isn't available. It doesn't need to know how many chips we're playing for. I could tell it how many chips are being played for, and have it multiply all the payouts by that number of chips, but it seems simpler to just have it always use the same payouts.

I appreciate your doing the number of bets analysis.
I'm surprised it's a straight line like that. I would have figured it would have leveled off after the novelty wore off.
Come to think of it, it kind of looks like the bet rate has accelerated if anything.
I guess the increasing interest in bitcoin as a whole outweighs the effect of old players getting bored of the game.
