I love both ideas! I think now is the time to reinvent gambling and that's exactly what you are doing :-)

I'd vote for bomberman because its pvp (but could not figure out how to cast my vote). I think both games could be made provably fair, just let me know if I can help.

@megamore, thanks a lot!

Awesome @christycalhoun, welcome to the team! I will send you more info via PM next week.

Thanks for the bug report @bitcoininformation! What we'll do is open a popup when a user inserts an invalid secret to inform him what's going on. And enable him to enter a new secret afterwards. We only have limited capacity in the next days and other bugs to fix, so it might take a bit...

@mrccasals, glad you like the site :-)

So we've been fixing bugs all day. We've fixed some, but there are still open issues. We will have reduced capacity over the next few days, so we do not expect to fix all bugs before next week.

To make sure that all goes flawlessly when we reenable bitcoin betting, we'd like to invite members of the Bitcoin Forum to test the site before we launch. We've already signed up a small team, but if anyone else wants to join, they are most welcome.

Members of the 'FastSlots Alpha Testing Team' will get:

* get early access when we start testing
* get a small bonus to test - you can keep it if you win
* be eligible for a bounty if they find a bug

Alpha testing will start next week. Just let me know if you are interested.

And @kanggoroo, awesome, you're in :-)

Site is back up now. Sorry for the interrupted service, we are heavily debugging right now. There will be some downtime in the coming days.

That's great coingamblingreviews, thanks. I'll send you our press kit when we are ready to open up again.

Henry here, founder of FastSlots. We are currently experiencing bugs when many users are on the site at the same time. We are fixing these bugs right now. We will open to a small group of alpha testers before we open to the public again. I'll be announcing more details about the alpha tester program later today.

@yahoo62278: We have some cool games in the pipeline. Some will be adaptions of old games, but other will be completely new. However, we need to get the backend to work flawlessly before we can launch more games.

@btcmaze: I'm happy you like it. I will be sending out more boni as soon as we have fixed all bugs.

@Jaaawsh: Hitting a five streak is awesome! Congrats!

@coingamblingreviews. Sorry, I missed your comment yesterday. The house edge is 1%. It works like this: If you bet on black then the probability of black coming up is 49.5%; the probability of red is 50.5%. If you bet on red it's the other way around. The details of the algorithm (and of our provable fairness) are explained here: https://fastslots.co/fairness

Unfortunately we will not be able to fix the bugs today. It's late in our time zone and we need to head home. I will be back tomorrow to answer any questions. Thanks to everybody who gave us feedback.

Thanks for the feedback edmundduke and BetcoinPlayer. Will definitely address the colour issue and will polish the design (a border really looks much neater)

Thanks Edmundduke. Other users have mentioned that they think that the site is too white. I will think about how I can address that.

I will send you a bonus once we have fixed the bugs in our gambling engine...

Thanks Jaaawsh, I'm on that error right now. Will let you know when it's fixed.

Bitcointalk user kanggoroo found a small bug in our gambling engine. No bitcoins were lost, but I do not want anyone to have any problems. For this reason we will switch the site back to testnet coins to avoid any damage.


Please continue to comment, we will send out boni to commenters when the issue is resolved. Contact henry@fastslots.co if you have any problems.

I will keep posting updates here.

@Jaaawsh, great idea with the twitter. That's innovative marketing right there :-)

@Injust, thanks for the input. We thought about that, but could not figure out how to make it look good. Will give it another shot.

@BRE, thanks, I'm a big fan of calm.com :-)

Thanks rogerdonkey and Candystripes! I'm glad to hear you like the site.

@Candystripes and everybody who would like to help me grow this. Please email henry@fastslots.co. I'd love to get in touch.

@kanggoroo. We had thought about switching to black when a use starts to play for btc, but have not implemented it yet. The 25 you are playing for are just play money, its not worth anything unfortunately.

@marcotheminer. Thanks. We've spent a lot of time trying to make the site look good.

I'm very happy you like the game. I'm a big fan of dice games, but I think that there are much more fun games for bitcoins. We'll be launching a few experiments in the coming weeks...

Thanks Marcotheminer. Our goal was to make the site look awesome but not have the design have a negative impact on page load speed. Hence the gradients, they are just css and no images need to be downloaded.

Small bonus coming your way via PM...

Yea, its the exponential explosion that makes this game so crazy. If you hit five in a row you get 32x your input, if you hit ten its over 1000x.

I should mention though that at some point we will not allow you to bet again, we tell you to take your win and celebrate in that case. This is to avoid us going bust. Our system is designed such that we will never accept a bet that we cannot pay out immediately.

Thanks Jaaawsh! Great to hear your feedback. Our idea was to iterate on dice games a bit. I think dice games are great, but there are so many other great ways to gamble. We'll be launching some experiments in the coming weeks :-)

I'll send you some early adopter bonus by PM...
