I'm finally done with a small project and curious if anyone wants to try it out or give me some feedback on it.

http://BTCKeno.com

There is also a testnet setup for the site at http://testnet.BTCKeno.com if you want to try it out. Same site, same code, etc. just on the bitcoin testnet. As far as I am aware of, this is the only site that has a testnet version.

What is Keno?
Keno is a game where you select up to 15 numbers. The computer will select 20 numbers, and you are paid based on how many of those that you both select. The pay table contains a multiplier so whatever your bet amount is, it is multiplied by that.

What is BTC Keno?
With this site you can select up to 15 numbers. You also enter in your payout address. Once you submit your ticket, you are given a unique address where you send your bet. Once you bet has been confirmed (6+ confirmations) you are sent your winnings to the payout address you listed. Also once you submit your ticket you are given a unique URL to check the status of that ticket.

Is this provably fair?
Yes, you can check out the code used to generate the random numbers at https://gist.github.com/4516159 and you can find the daily secret keys at http://btckeno.com/keys (they one that is in current use is not shown until a new key is generated). The keys are generated daily.


I'm working on a few new features/improvements for the site, so I'm open to any and all suggestions you guys have.

Thanks and enjoy.

Once you bet has been confirmed (6+ confirmations)

1 confirmation would be enough IMHO.

Seems like I could do that. I'll push up some updates later tonight and lower that, or at least lower it on the testnet version.

[f1gm3nt]

Updated so that only 1 confirmations is now required, this has been updated on both the testnet site and the production site.

I made a wager for 1 BTC and won 2 BTC.  It's been about 20 minutes since it confirmed 6 times (and my winnings were announced) but I still haven't received my 2 BTC.  Unfortunately I closed the window and lost the URL because I figured it wasn't needed any longer.

Interesting. Please make your site provably fair. There is no excuse why not to today

I see that in the database, I'm updating the site right now (stats page will come up next). The reason it hasn't paid out yet is because there is not enough funds in the account to pay you yet. I'm transferring all that I have and trying to get some more so you will get paid. I apologize about that and I will make sure that it is being taken care of.

And yes, I do believe in full transparency and will be getting more updates to you soon on this. Again I apologize.

Thanks, but it concerns me that you had to scramble to find the 2 BTC to pay me!  What if someone won a few hundred BTC (your top jackpot is 10,000 BTC) ??

The task that checks has been updated to payout at 1 confirmation, until it pays out, it will keep updating the meta data.

That is a good question. To be honest, I have no idea how I will come up with it, but I can will guarantee you that they will get paid.

Done, just finished the deploy. Good catch on that, I'm a horrible at frontend design. I think the entire frontend looks like ass. Trying to find a frontend designer around town. Have talked to a few, but no one worth it so far.

I think that if you won 10,000 BTC, the site is going to disappear. Especially if it was just up.

[f1gm3nt]

Nope, if someone won 10K in BTC, I would have to suck it up and send them out. That would be shitty luck on my part. There are a lot of various services that I want to push out, so if screw this up, it would be hard to start over again.

[drakahn]

Can someone send me some testnet coins?

I've mined a few so I can return them when they mature

What could possibly go wrong? 

And no, as we've seen in the past, it would not be hard at all to start over again.  It's happened all the time.

I too lazy to try it again, I want my customers to be very well taken care of.
