If you reload the page (bitcoinvideocasino.com) you should get a new address. If you're getting "invalid address" can you tell me what address it is giving you?

You have a return of -1 for non paying hands. For the other hands you're showing the payout, not the profit, so you should do the same for the non paying hands. The payout is 0. We have to either use 'payout' everywhere, or 'profit' everywhere. We can't mix them. You've calculated that the expected return per 1 chip play is negative... That's a house edge of over 100%. Your 87588 figure is how big the pot would have to be to give you a 100% house edge if you did actually take 1 extra chip from the player each time they lost. Here's my calculation of the required pot to make a 100% payout: 777d 2149 60 0.0000034535 289562.000 0.0074 777s 1000 180 0.0000103605 96520.667 0.0104 777 250 6600 0.0003798841 2632.382 0.0950 77s 50 19200 0.0011051174 904.881 0.0553 77 25 72000 0.0041441902 241.302 0.1036 7 5 1238400 0.0712800713 14.029 0.3564 lose 0 16037280 0.9230769231 1.083 0.0000 ------ -------- ------------ ---------- ------ all 17373720 1.0000000000 1.000 0.6280
total payout is 10910940 / 17373720 = 0.628014 extra payout needed from jackpot to make 100% is 6462780 / 17373720 = 0.371986 each chip in pot adds 60 to numerator, so need to add 6462780 / 60 = 107713 to pot so pot needs to be current pot (2149) + 107713 = 109862

Yup, you're right. Finally adjusted my numbers and came to the same conclusion you have. Blackjack is going to be a very different game than video poker. The pot will grow slowly, but it won't be won as often. I do hope that some day we pay 110 BTC to some lucky progressive winner ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I just want to let everyone know that we've update the site with a few new features: a referral program, a public API, and we've upped the Blackjack max bet limit to 0.25 BTC.

There were a couple small issues that were fixed today, mostly text changes, but some minor roulette functionality was adjusted as well.

1) love this site, love whoever is behind it.
2) The constant coding of new games is awesome, and keeps me personally checking back all the time to see new improvements.
3) "autoplay" is absolutely brilliant when applied to all games, but with videopoker it actually makes it fun for me to play, really scratches that degen itch but without me having to constantly make the same decisions. API so dooglus can write his own set of rules IMO and get that bad boy up to 99.6% payouts.

If that 99.6% autoplay bot ever gets released, we'll definitely mention it on our site:)

Is there such a thing as a 'play money' account, which I can use when testing the bot and/or the API? Or is it possible maybe for you to give me an account with a balance, but with 'withdraw' disabled, so it's real bitcoins, but I can't get my hands on them?

I think there's a typo in your API documentation: On failure, {"reason": "amount_too_small", "result": false, "time": 0} result This value will be false in the event of an error reason One of the following errors: amount_to_small - You specified a withdrawal amount less than the minimum required. Edit: /chat/users says it takes a 'msg' parameter. That's probably incorrect, and was just copy/pasted from chat/post. In the '/update' documentation it says 'For “oulette” gamedata'. Missing an 'r'.

I just sent 0.2BTC to that address and locked the account from withdrawing. Let me know if you need anything else! FWIW, you could change the account name to something descriptive (like "dooglusbot"), then we can all easily identify it on the recent tab. And FWIW #2, you're welcome to use a referral code within your programs.

Is that only done through the API or is there a web interface for changing the display name? Might there be any plans to add username/password as an alternative method to access my account (rather than just knowledge of the access key)? There is another service that allows both -- either the "low security" method where the URL must be bookmarked/remembered (just like with BitcoinVideoCasino) as well as the ability to use a username/password. That seems to work well when as a compromise, otherwise I'm uncomfortable letting anyone watch me play or snap a photo as the account_key is sitting there in plain view. Also, on the site the old Twitter account screen name is still being used, @BTCVideoPoker ... whereas the current Twitter account is - http://twitter.com/BTCVideoCasino

The /account/rename API call will do it, and the red & white portrait icon under the chat in the web view will do it too. Might there be any plans to add username/password as an alternative method to access my account (rather than just knowledge of the access key)?
There is another service that allows both -- either the "low security" method where the URL must be bookmarked/remembered (just like with BitcoinVideoCasino) as well as the ability to use a username/password. That seems to work well when as a compromise, otherwise I'm uncomfortable letting anyone watch me play or snap a photo as the account_key is sitting there in plain view.
Not at this time. I know a number of people have asked for it but the other programmer and I believe the account key to be quite secure (when played from a private place). A username/password isn't really any more secure, as you're just trading one insecurity (public viewing of your account key) for another (the security of your email, which generally isn't very secure). We are talking about a couple alternatives. Perhaps we can optionally allow people to set a password, but if you lose the password you're out of luck (we won't store any personally identifiable information). We'll explore some possibilities with this, so stay tuned. Also, on the site the old Twitter account screen name is still being used, @BTCVideoPoker ... whereas the current Twitter account is - http://twitter.com/BTCVideoCasinoReally? Thanks for pointing this out! It's just me and another guy so sometimes a few of these details get overlooked:(
