Username "JackpotISMine" rolled a 776 on his first try and stopped?
Something looks rigged about that, not sure what! A shill perhaps?!

Wow, he was so close... And no, no rigging, just getting /dev/urandom bytes from PHP After having a long run with PRNGs and gambling, I suggest using a TRNG like random.org. You can snatch random numbers from: http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=100&col=1&base=10&format=plainAnyways, seems very similar to betcoin.eu except the chances on yours are worse, also does it payout 160% winners from the jackpot or is there a seperate bank account then only a certain amount gets entered into the jackpot?

Okay, random.org library is on the way. I thought about it. Currently using /dev/urandom source. also does it payout 160% winners from the jackpot or is there a seperate bank account then only a certain amount gets entered into the jackpot?
Jackpot is an odd number, so it can't win 160%. Jackpot is a Jackpot. You can send any bet (0.1 through 1), and if you take 777, you will be paid with full current jackpot bank. So because "no jackpot" rounds processed when jackpot bank is lower than max bet. Jackpot has a separate "untochable" account, where ##% of any valid incoming transaction is added each time. Ivalid bets (out of 0.1-1 range) are paid back without getting tickets.

Sure.
Bet bank initialized with tens of bitcoins to ensure everyone can win if they win. Even if payout is higher than bet bank, lottery transaction can be processed in hand mode later, when i add some funds to bet bank.
Jackpot has also separate bank.

I see, I also run a similar game and it is probably the most popular of the three, http://berlin.ifixshit.net/index.php?page=commands!roll is the command for the game. The only problem I have run into is the occasional extreme win streak destroys the bank

The house advantage on this is nearly 20% (19.97). Unless the jackpot is a gigantic multiple of your bet, this game is not worth playing at all.

Unless the jackpot is a gigantic multiple of your bet, this game is not worth playing at all. gigantic multiple of bet can not be reached with chance to take it 1/777. And what was the formula you computed this value? Look, its just a lottery. For a house advantages you may visit Nevada state with good house advantage cities in it.

I call foul. I just purchased 500+ tickets, and now payouts aren't happening anymore, and my current ticket purchases waiting for confirmation (3 confirmations now) are apparently being dripped into the stream, at a lower than purchased rate of return - 0.16 vs 0.20 that I bought in for.
I am calling shenanigans.
Shenanigans!

How much did you spend and how much did you get back? :D Also, at this point it is statistically advantageous to just send as many 0.1 bets as you can in hopes of getting ticket 777. You will likely recoup any losses. :D

I didn't say anything about duplication. This is just random number, allowing duplication. Right. You can get JP either taking few tickets or you will not see it even taking 1000. It is just random.
