Awesome stuff!

Really good concept, especially the stuff when game determines which number won. Though it might be a little too technical for some people.
The only issue I have so far is: why this has to be american version of roulette? Make it European, please.

Thanks Maku  

I think you're right on with the suggestion too.  After a beta period, our move to new server will coincide with switch to European roulette with slightly lower house edge.

Pretty cool stuff.  Are you giving out any reasons or incentives to try this?  I would be willing to try it and see how fair I think it is but I prefer not risking my own coins for something I am not sure of how fair it could be.

i don't have understand this.
i see to everu number and option, a different bitcoin address for deposit, because is the same address to all people?
example, i bet to 3 , and already another member bet to 3, is the same game , like a live roulette?

Make a small bet and you'll see how the engine works.  You don't need a seed or anything to see what the result of a round was - you only need to look at the last five digits of the block hash.  You bet on the block hash AFTER the block that your bet is confirmed in.  So it's not instant.  We have to do this because otherwise miners could put in bets as they solve a block.

Yes, same addresses to all people.  Every bet type has a unique address.  It is a live roulette.

Well that's a cool idea, but you guys need to work more on the look of the site, it kinda looks empty and amateurish, not very attractive to potential players.

Thanks for your feedback.  Probably we need some more images and female faces?

I don't know about that. We have sexy ladies as a background in almost every online casino. You know what they say - sex sells.
But that is not mandatory imo, but I agree that background for know looks little 'amateurish" and it should be upgraded - image of casino interior in the background or something should be fine.

Looks like a pretty neat concept, but how big is the site bankroll, and is there a possibility to invest perhaps?
Are payments processed instantly?

Site bankroll can be seen by checking "table status". 

Payments are processed " instantly" as soon as the ball lands on it's spot..  that is, as soon as the next block (after the one with the bet in it) is found. 

So it's not really instant, because for your payout you have to wait:

1)  for your bet to have a confirmation
2) for the next block after that to determine the roulette result

There is a possibility to invest, public offering being considered but this is private concern for now during startup phase.
