I can see that you are using
Code:
rand = httpGet("http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=99&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new&differ=" + (new Date()).getTime());
to generate the result, but then the result will be from 1, 2, ..., 99, each with 1/99 chance.

So, the chance seems to be off.
For example, the chance to roll a number under 1 should be 0%, while the chance to roll a number under 99 should be 98/99.


My stupid mistake, fixed it. Now the numbers range from 0 to 99, 1/100 chance each. Thanks!

Added x2, /2, min and max buttons as requested.

I want to make it clear that the 0% house edge is only for now.
When the site goes commercial, I plan to introduce a low but nonzero house edge. I would not trust a commercial casino that offers 0% house edge anyways.

Welcome to BTC Casino - one of the very few Bitcoin gambling sites (and possibly the only Bitcoin dice site) using true randomness.



You can roll two 10-sided (D&D-style) dice to get a number from 0 to 99. On the inside, our numbers come from atmospheric radio noise, mostly caused by distant lightning strikes (which means a lot of random sources; believe it or not, there are - worldwide - around 100 lightnings every second and ~1800 separate thunderstorms happening at any given moment). The data is provided by Random.org.

Other dice sites use purely mathematical RNGs.



The site is still in development. At the moment you can only play with dummy bitcoins, so the house edge is 0% - you can see how well you can do when the casino has no advantage over you.

Have fun!
