The consept is really great and "invite" you to play and bet but the house edge...
imho it would be great to fix the rate (lower them) for all the games and not in one.
even if its the most popular...

[AtlantaFive]

the concept is great. it's like playing our local arcade game. haha

[YuginKadoya]

Very Interesting indeed! and you have just deplete your house edge that much I say you have some recent winners in the your list I might try it some time but does it have any Demo play for new players?



And What is the idea with the camel that are still coming out any hints?

[crazybtrade]

I checked your game, nice look and good design
Good luck!

We've now added support for BURST.
If you've not heard of BURST before, it's an energy-efficient, proof of capacity coin which you can even mine from your phone!

We plan to add more currencies soon, but next we will be creating our new Wheel of Fortune game - watch this space!

This is a clever and new take on gambling. A claw machine. But of coarse you do not control the claw . That would be cool though. 
Dont think its possible. 

I think your site will do fairly well with your new idea it adds a nice visual aspect thst was before some what lacking.

[catbref]

New game added!



Send your BTC or BURST to the wheel and spin to win!

Thanks for the visitors today - and your feedback.

One aspect keeps coming up though:

Should play be on-chain or off-chain?

For on-chain play, there's no need to register, verify, load up an "account". All transactions/plays are viewable on the blockchain. But there's more of a hit due to fees. We actually contribute 0.0001BTC towards fees when sending winnings. Is that enough to make it worthwhile to players?
Players having accounts adds to the security workload of a website. We'd also rather not hang onto players' funds any longer than necessary. Both of these aspects make a website more of a target for hackers.

We were originally on-chain, then we changed to off-chain but then people complained about having to sign up!

Is the answer to implement both?
Or do players prefer on-chain for more peace of mind?
Or maybe it's a case of "you can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time"?

Well the best is always to implement both!

I have to say I found the on-chain aspect... Very strange. It's really unusual.
Not bad in itself of course, but it's a very old mechanism (goes well with your design/universe though ^^)
I wouldn't play on an on chain game. Not because it's bad but because transaction times are really impossible to predict! You could send the money and play only 50 games after.

But being nearly the only site doing so also gets you all the players that think exactly the contrary

Please make a way to skip the animations when someone gambles. I placed 18 bets on your arcade wheel, and it was quite frustrating to wait 10-20 seconds per bet, for 18 of them. Maybe if there is more than X bets in one transaction, the results show instantly? Quite frustrating waiting a few minutes to see how much I won/lost. I did enjoy seeing the first few, so maybe fast forward it if there are too many bets together? Took 6 minutes to see everything.

Had some good luck though, so I won't complain.

Wheel of fortune is fun - thanks for playing!

Next we're thinking of making it possible for you to create your own derby race - name the racecourse and horses, set the odds AND then giving you a percentage of the profits at the end of the day.

Would you give it a go?

More Wheel of Fortune would be fun. But I think I will go for this Derby race. However just make it not so complicated as there are a lot of first timers out there.

Nice! pretty good mining through your phone and I think I have never heard of Burstcoin before but yes other coins like this needs time to make it's value up and I think your site is pretty much convincing 10,000 burstcoin is equal to $ 7.10 Dollar for the meantime which is not bad, and has less energy consumption too, let me think first if I would try it, just let me enjoy your gambling first!

Thanks for the feedback  - we're planning a YouTube video play-through of how to bet, if that helps - well just as soon as my sore throat clears up anyway for the voiceover .. croak!

The create your own Derby page will be an extra feature, so you'll still be able to enjoy our standard games too.

That's a very good idea, but do you know why?
Not because it'll make people win money,
but because it is an ORIGINAL idea! Which is so freaking rare in gambling with btc xD

I don't think anything like that exists. The only problem would be who has the bankroll? You or the person creating the Derby race page?

Sounds kinda like ★ The Lucky Bit "Make Your Own Game" Promotion! ★. Would be fun to do for sure, and if you decide to do it, I suggest doing it like Luckybit did and maybe require them to wager 0.001BTC or another number to participate if you want more volume. 1 day is probably too little imo as there might be next to 0 volume on that day.

Would you give it a go?

Yes, I'd create a +EV line for myself and steal all your bankroll assuming no limitations

2 Questions,

It says

For every game, a random secret string is generated and we publish the SHA256 hash for this ahead of time.

Where is this secret SHA256 hash posted exactly? I can't find it.

There is now a direct link to it from the list below the games which is added every time someone plays a go.
You can also see them up to 10 or so games in advance (so you can check we're playing fair!) by clicking on the ? button.

For the horse game, what is the house edge exactly. Is it the White hour which is 3.94%? So does that mean the house edge is 4% for that game?

After feedback that it was too high, we changed our house edge.  We now have a 98.52% payout for the Derby game, which I believe is one of the best out there.
 
The 3.94% you mentioned is the likelihood of the white horse winning - some horses are more likely to  win but have smaller payouts, e.g.
red has a probability of 49.26% to win and pays out X 2.  The white horse has a smaller chance of winning, but a MUCH higher payout of X 25.

So you can play how you like!

Bigger risk = a chance of a much bigger return, or play more likely to win but with smaller multipliers.

Hope that helps!

original idea and beautiful graphics

I feel like you should add an option of on site balance,it is frustrating to send a transaction every time you want to play a game
especially with the current state blockchain is at

Thank you so much for your feedback - really makes our week! 

I think you're totally right about an on site balance - we were looking into using MoneyPot today, but I'm not sure it's a good answer for us.
An on-site balance would mean registering and logging in to retrieve or play your funds, either that or saving a unique url (which isn't all that secure).

There's obviously the issue of price fluctuations in BitCoin too.
Previously we gave users the option to buy tokens at a set rate, then cash them out later at the same rate.

However any and all suggestions gratefully received!
