Hey @FanEagle, Ho @badjacks99!
So glad you guys like the site. We are continually working on small and big improvements, so we hope you will like FastSlots even more in the future :-)
Unfortunately we could not finish the update I had planned for tonight. However, there will be an update tomorrow. Building FastSlots is awesome fun, I can't wait to show you all what we are working on :-)

I just added a second slider to Chart Bet with which the user can control the rate of change. The slider ranges from "none" to "insane". On "insane", the chart will change by up to 32% per second, just let me know if you want more :-). To access the sliders you'll need to click on the options link over the bet buttons I also updated the table on the homepage that shows recent and big winnings. It should be more clear now who won how much. Unlike other sites, we will not be faking it by having bots place random bets to simulate activity. Chart bet still needs some massaging. For example I am not happy with the loading experience. We will be addressing this issue and perform some visual tweaks tomorrow. If someone has an idea how chart bet (or any other game) can be improved, just let us know. |

I just added a slider to chart bet that allows the user to control speed of the chart. Still needs some calibration, but I wanted to get it out there.
I'll now working on a second slider with which the user will be able to control the rate of change. I probably will not be able to launch this feature before tomorrow.
Thanks to @edmundduke and @KingOfSports for suggesting these features.

Thanks for all you comments, I'll answer to each of you below.
@flippy, thanks again for finding this not-so-easy-to-find bug. It's now fixed, the client secret is updated on every tick
@elephantas1, I'm very happy you like it. We are working on improvements to the slot machine, to be released in the next weeks (we have another game to launch first).
@edmundduke, great point. The time between updates was a little under 1sec, I just changed it to about 1.5sec (the precise time depends on the users location and the load on the server). Just give it a try and let me know what you think. We could also have something like a slider with which the user could control the speed. If you Edmund or anyone else would like have this feature, just let me know.
@KingOfSports, I appreciate your honesty, bad feedback is very often the most helpful feedback. Regarding the house edge however, I disagree. Consider a dice game on autoplay. There you have a house edge of 1% every second. That is a 5x bigger house edge than on chart bet. Honestly, with a house edge of 0.2% it's going to take ages for me to make a profit (right now I have lost quite a bit). The only reason I am doing this is because I want to try something new, and I'm giving a discount so that lots of people can try it.
Concerning the rate of change however, you might be right. Currently the maximal change on one tick is 4% of the current value. Maybe that is too low. Thinking about it, maybe we should have two sliders, one for Edmund (where you can change the speed), and one for KingOfSports (where you can change the rate of change)...
I might actually try that tomorrow.. Thanks everyone!

Hi Flippy
You are raising some valid points here. Let me address them one by one.
1) The reset happens when (a) the user has not bought any of the three virtual stocks, and (b) the stocks are further apart than a certain threshold. Therefore the reset never has any impact on the balance or chance of winning of the user.
We are doing the reset because over time, the three stocks tend to degrade to three parallel lines, and thus the chart looks quite boring (to see this behaviour, just buy a stock to prevent the reset and wait). As you suggest, I have added a description to the "how it works" section.
2) You are absolutely right, there is a bug in our provably fair system. What should happen is that a random client seed is generated for every tick in the clients browser. I'm currently working on a fix and will post here when done.

@Rulishix thanks for standing up for me but I really don't mind giving out a small bonus in exchange for feedback. After all it's valuable information for me and helps me build a site that people like...
@bleeding2323 I'm happy to hear that the site is working for you. However, I think it's still down for a couple of users, and it's much slower than it should be if it's not.
Concerning your suggestion about the promo, you are probably right. However we are a small team and we are really focussed on launching games atm. We will start marketing once we have launched our first batch of games (one or two games still to come...)
@karakhan: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" ;-)
The three of you will all get a small bonus by pm in a minute, @Rulishix please feel free to loose it if you don't want it :-)

The website is still down. The issue seems to be with our web host. I'll let you know when the issue is resolved.

Ok, I reconfigured the server, disabled the chat, and restarted. Server is back up now. Hope it holds up...

Here we go, the website crashed under load a few minutes after posting the above. We're working to restore service. We'll keep you posted...

Happy to introduce Chart Bet to the world of gambling. As far as I know it's a new concept that is inspired by the gambling that goes on on the stock market: you can buy and sell virtual stocks and make money if you buy low and sell high. We are offering this game with an extremely low house edge of just 0.2%. It is important to note that this house edge applies every time the chart is updated (circa 1 time per second). Thus it's comparable to a dice game on autoplay. As dice games often re-roll the dice every second at a house edge of 1%, your odds of winning on chart bet are dramatically better. I'd love to get feedback as to what the community thinks of our new concept? Would you like to see more experiments like this in the future or should we be build out some classics (like dice etc) first? Cheers, Henry |

From spending 15 minutes on the site:
The good
1) Really good faucet, something different from the captchas. And the amount is fine also, ignore the self-entitled beggers who believe they should be given free money every step of the way. They do not understand that the faucet is there just to show how the games work.
2) Multiple games
Cons
1) Switching from BTC to playmoney bugs out from time to time. When it thinks you make a bet that is too big (for example 900 PLM, with 90% win chance - shouldnt be outside the limit to win 90 lol). So it takes the credits for some reason and they come back after refreshing the site.
2) On random bets the game just takes the coin and crashes, it comes back after a refresh.
3) If a crash has happened, you play another game for 15 min to go back and find the original game is still crashed and keeps telling you that an error occured.
4) If you make an accidental bet higher than the amount you have it doesnt give an error but just crashes, forcing you to refresh the site to continue playing. Sometimes the error stays and you need to close the browser.
5) On Solitaire sometimes the cards that should be revealed from start move up 1 position and "hide" themselves. This again causes another very unpleasent situation where you need to refresh to play on.
6) When making a bet i had it slow down so much, that the bet was credited after i had already made 3 more bets.
7) When switching games, it sometimes took up to 2-3 min to load the game into a playable state. Everything was in place but it was greyed out.
I understand that using bought scripts is really tempting and saves a lot of work, but the ones you got are rather bad and notorious for the glitches.
If you are serious at all about this casino venture i suggest you take a moment and fix the issues at hand.
And ill say again, these only toke a few minutes to find.
Thanks for pros, much more thanks for cons  We don't use any bought scripts. Despite the fact that games are so much tested, some bugs will appear after deploy to production. It's a law of software development. The list you reported is very helpful for us and we will definitely fix all bugs you reported. Thanks once more. I can highly recommend Mr Edmund Duke as a QA expert. He helped me loads with my site FastSlots.co. It's well worth it sending him an extra bonus from time to time... Love the design of the dice on coinxerox by the way :-) |

Thanks Farrukh, I'm glad you like our site. So far we have not planned any Christmas promotion, but now that you bring it up, I'll think about it :-)

Hey americas guy!
You are right, that is a bug. Until we fix it you can reload the page after you rotated your ipad and the fruits will reappear. Thanks for spotting that one. I'll send you a small bonus by pm.
Cheers!

Shameless repost to bump this up for all people from the americas who might be coming online now. Feedback would be highly appreciated. I have a habit of sending out small bonuses to people who give feedback and criticism - won't be ditching that habit today :-) |
