Wow, the odds are really close for you. Compare that with SD or other casinoes, you've gotta have a big bankroll to back that up to prevent a crash.

Thanks John, we run extensive simulations to ensure we do not go bust

[John (John K.)]

Then that'll be a good news to potential bettors !

We also support the Alt coins LTC and PPC with TRC support coming soon

So gamers are welcome to come and try out our games and their betting systems on a cheaper currency before playing with the big boys on BTC

So you have to have 0 confirmations right? Then any idea why payouts are taking so long? I got 1 fast payout on LTC using Jackpot dice and have yet to receive another, and none of mine on BTC Jackpot dice have come back as of this posting.

EDIT###
Never mind I figured it out. The Jackpot dice doesn't return a micro transaction to tell you that you lost.

I like the micro lotto to bet the free bitcoins I get daily

How does it work out of the edge is sometimes negative?

That is correct, we do try to minimize blockchain spam

For our Jackpot Dice (clone dice v2) we decided to drop the losing payouts in favour of raising the winning multiplier.
Players can optionally pay to have a loss notification by sending their  bet in multibet that includes the address for 'Result only'.
'Result only' has the smallest min bet possible that covers sending the result as a micro payout.

Thats a novel use of it, perhaps we should advertise dailybitcoins.
Thanks for the positive feedback.

Hello Marcusrider

Here is Code Monkeys subroutine for calculating the house edge for the maximum bet.

Code:

# g = game
# t = count of all possible results (eg roulette 37)
# w = winning numbers

function current_edge($g, $t, $w)
{
	$l		= $t - $w;			# losing numbers
	$j		= jackpot($g);
	$max_bet	= max_bet($g);
	$donation	= donation($g) / 100;
	$m		= max_m($g) * $w * $max_bet;	# round payouts
	$rd		= $l * $max_bet * $donation;	# round donations
	$total		= $j + $m + $rd;

	$payout		= ($total / ($t * $max_bet)) * 100;

	return 100 - $payout;
}

In Pseudo code:

payout = (total payout including jackpot / (number of results * maximum bet)) * 100
house edge = 100 - payout;

My opinion is that you should have a popup or something when clicking on bets, I thought the website was broken because nothing was happening, then I checked the url

I haven't tried Satoshi Roulette yet, but I get the impression it's like entering a state lottery. I won't go in with any expectation of making much of anything back!

Actually we give you a much higher chance of winning than the state lottery, You should try playing a few rounds and see for yourself
Many of our games build jackpots, with a high enough jackpot you are playing a game with a negative edge.
For example, max bets on roulette single numbers currently have a house edge of -1.4355 % (round payout of 101.4355 % )

The easiest games to play will be our slot machines, checkout Easy Street or Baby Slot Machines.
These games have more chance of paying out than loosing, so I suggest trying them for newbie gamers.

forgot to mention, Code Monkey coded up a php bot to martingale our games, details can be found here:

Site has undergone a lot of changes. Max bets on LTC have been severely cut and many bet addresses for Jackpot Dice have been removed. Multi-betting is nearly impossible now. The game has clearly been focused more towards the house in every aspect. I enjoyed the site for quite awhile, but will be returning to SatoshiDice from now on. They just offer more addresses for multi-bets and higher max bets that can make up for losses if a bet fails. SatoshiRoulette.com has no appetite for risk and continues to trim away any player advantage any chance they can. Thanks for all the LTC to this point, but I'm convinced now that there's no way to make up losses from a session anymore.

Sorry guys, but I'm a fan and avid player here no more.

Hello Moose, Id like to address several of your misconceptions:

* Max bets on LTC have been severely cut and many bet addresses for Jackpot Dice have been removed.

Max bet is 25 LTC, we aim to support a max bet of ~ $50 and given LTC's current price 25 LTC does definitely do this and more

* The game has clearly been focused more towards the house in every aspect.

Simply not true, in fact we now offer the lowest house edge for any litecoin casino on our dice games (1.5%).

* They just offer more addresses for multi-bets and higher max bets that can make up for losses if a bet fails.

Im not exactly sure of your point here, but we do try to limit the risk of catastrophic failure for the house.

* SatoshiRoulette.com has no appetite for risk and continues to trim away any player advantage any chance they can.

I shall have to politely disagree, as one of the first casinos to support LTC, PPC, NVC & TRC we do consider ourselves risk takers.
