Our team with 10+ years of experience in the gambling industry is casually prepping something gargantuan and will appreciate your feedback.

Here’s the idea
As you likely know, there are a ton of crypto-gambling projects. Why? Because gambling and blockchain were meant to be.



Before, the concept of cryptocurrency was nothing more than a chip’s algorithm in a casino. In Vegas, you bet in USD. And online, with Bitcoins. There’s no difference in principal. 



Lucky Strike, based fully in Ethereum and its inherent smart-contract, is bringing the core philosophy of blockchain to the gambling industry – enhancing it with an ICO model we’re calling ‘Bet & Own.’ It’s unheard of: using blockchain to change what chance is.

Before, a bet gave you one shot. You won or lost. With Lucky Strike, a single bet gives you infinite chances.

The game of infinite chances
It consists of 2 parts: ‘Bet and Own’ and ‘Jackpots.’

It’s pretty simple. You play against other players – not Lucky Strike – with a ‘Bet and Own’ bet. Most of that bet is played instantly – so you can win instantly – with a small part going into ‘Jackpots.’ Win or lose that bet, you then have a chance in a never-ending string of growing ‘Jackpots’ (daily, weekly, monthly, annually, till the end of days. Or the internet. Which is the same day anyway.).

Again, the house never wins because there is no house and you simply can’t lose. And it gets bet-ter.

Lucky Strike Tokens
Every ‘Bet and Own’ bet you make also buys you Lucky Strike Tokens, or LST. So not only is 80% of your Ethereum invested in the unloseable game – where you can multiply your investment instantly and for all time – you keep and own LST. Basically, it’s like you get your LST for free while making some profit in the process.

How LST grows in value
Lucky Strike takes 5% of every bet and distributes it pro-rata among all token holders in the form of dividends. These will naturally, quickly exceed the ICO LST purchase price and continue to grow. You can then sell your LST on the exchange at a price always more than the ETH it accumulated. Lucky you.

It’s coming
With our time and money invested, we are soon approaching the ICO stage. The ICO will simply help Lucky Strike reach a critical mass of players and – most of all – benefit early investors as LST value rises.

Stay tuned for further updates:
– Our whitepaper. It won’t be a boring doc, we promise.
– The industry’s best affiliate program. 100% smart-contract based, of course.
– The finalization of our smart contract and publication of its code.
– Project launch with ICO start date.

Who will provide the games for the ecosystem/online casino ? who is paying for them and when? what technologies will they use (state channels?), will the whole thing be provably fair ?

Who will provide the games for the ecosystem/online casino ? who is paying for them and when? what technologies will they use (state channels?), will the whole thing be provably fair ?

There will be only one engaging game with a unique game mechanic. We are working on it as we speak https://i.imgsafe.org/5f/5f8d975534.png
We are developing this game ourselves and spending our own money. Investors will only pay when the product 100% ready. You will be able to place a minimal bet/invest at the same time and see how everything works when the ICO goes live.

The product works on Ethereum smart contract technology. Gameplay is a web application and strictly speaking it’s not required for the smart contract to work, but the game is much more fun with app visuals. The most convenient way to invest and play will be via Metamask.

Smart Contract code will be verified and opened. Needless to say, that everything is 100% transparent and can be reviewed by anyone who wants it!

The concept of “Bet & Own” sounds quite interesting and your statements, such as that the product will be fully completed instill some optimism, but amid a large number of thrash ICOs, I am wary of loud statements. Namely, I do not understand what it means to have infinite chances of winning. How does it work?

Well...  the design of your game looks cool! But I don’t see any information on your project at all. Can you tell me when are you going to have a website? What’s the timeline for launching the project?

All the best for your ICO
But you need to move this thread to TOKEN Section

Namely, I do not understand what it means to have infinite chances of winning. How does it work?

Every time a player places a bet, his bet is being distributed in the following way:

– Instant Game 85%
– Jackpots 10%
– House Edge 5%

As you can see, relatively small part of every bet goes into Jackpots. Jackpots is where the “Infinite Chance” principle works.

For example:

1. Jackpot: 10 ETH;
2. Player A bets 1ETH;
3. Jackpot grows for 10% from her bet (or for 0.1 ETH for that matter) and becomes 10.1 ETH;
4. Everyone who has ever placed at least one bet has a chance in Jackpots. For example, contribution to Jackpots from all players were 1000 ETH (including 0.1 ETH from the Player A, who places only 1 bet).
5. Chance to win the Jackpot for Player A will be: 0.1 × 100 / 1000 = 0.01%
6. Winner takes all the Jackpot
7. Next Jackpot is being formed and played in the same way.

Now Player A will have a chance in each and every of the infinite number of next Jackpots wether she won or lost in Instant Game or one of the Jackpots. If player A will place an additional bet, her chances in all of the next jackpots will grow up.

The more players placed their bets, the less their separate chances to win Jackpots (but Jackpots will be more lucrative). That’s the price of the Infinite Chance to win.

For more than 10 years of our experience in gambling, including lottery operations, it becomes obvious: when it comes to Jackpots, it’s not the winning percentage what’s important for a player, but the fact of having the chance. In other words, a player is not stupid, she embraces the fact that a chance for a jackpot is insignificant, but at the same time believes that he can be the lucky one to take it to the bank.

Lucky Strike approach combines classical gambling (Instant Game 85% of the bet goes to) and Jackpots with an infinite chance to win that are supposed to:

– Motivate players to play in Lucky Strike specifically, because the more you play in Instant Game, the higher your chances for Jackpots.
– Ease the pain of losing, because you still have a chance (and motivation to come back and check out if you won a jackpots and probably place another bet).

The end player doesn’t see all the complexity and for her it all represented by light, engaging, user-friendly gameplay.

that is what they should prioritize, because without detailed information we cannot understand all about this project and no one will be interested in something that is unclear and does not know the source.

We understand how important is it for a successful presentation to show the products benefits to players and not the technicalities of it’s gameplay. And all this information will be presented on the site in an easy to understand and fun to read way. But, at the same time, we will be happy to answer questions from users who are interested in how exactly the game works.

[mihohil]

Hey guys, it’s not your typical ERC-20 smart contract, and Ethereum Virtual Machine has a bunch of limitations… So I highly doubt that the features announced can work on Ethereum smart contracts.

[LoveCryptoAll]

Honestly, you explain about these strikes and I don’t understand very well - is it cool or not? From the investor’s point of view, you need to understand whether it is worth investing in this project or not. Will I earn by investing in this project or not?

Did I get it right?
If in the first day there were 100 bets placed, all 100 players have a chance in the future Jackpots.
The next day, 200 more bets were placed, all 300 have chances in the Jackpots.
...
After a month, say, 10000 players placed a bet.
500 more bets on a separate day. 10% from these 500 bets are on the table for the Daily Jackpot, and 10500 players have a chance? Right?

And yeah, I absolutely agree with others, make a proper project description so we can talk. At the first glance, you got an idea, but it’s a long way from an idea to a profitable project and I wanna be sure you’ve got what it takes to get the job done! Good luck!

Actually, that's the bottomline. They need to elaborate more on how a particular investor gain from their platform. Or this will end up in trading only? We will see once they release their website and other info.

[secondbtc]

Do you have website for ico where all details of your ico along with team is available

[2012]

– House Edge 5%

5% house edge pretty high as compare with active gambling casino there are some popular gambling casinos offering standard 1% you should think about this and reduce to attractive level. I think people will be afraid to play there with high house edge.

[ND_INVEST]

Your ICO definitely sound different and potentially interesting. However, for now you don't have some key things, like a website, whitepaper, listed team, roadmap, ICO details etc. You also need to be present in social networks and post updates there. Also, it's really hard to understand how the game works even with the explanations you provided. I think that you need to make an animated video that will show how the infinite chance system works.

– House Edge 5%

5% house edge pretty high as compare with active gambling casino there are some popular gambling casinos offering standard 1% you should think about this and reduce to attractive level. I think people will be afraid to play there with high house edge.

It is high if it bets in favour of the casino, but this is not the case here, I believe. Players only play against each other and there's no house edge in this sense. However, the casino charges 5% from all of the transactions which is how it get profits.

Hey guys, it’s not your typical ERC-20 smart contract, and Ethereum Virtual Machine has a bunch of limitations… So I highly doubt that the features announced can work on Ethereum smart contracts.

Least of all, we want someone to lose their investment on what we are doing. All the features we mentioned earlier are already hard wired in the smart contract and you can check it for yourself, the smart contract code is open and verified.
Links to the code are published in the weekly report at the top of this thread. If you have any questions regarding the code or any other questions please ask, we will answer.

We do understand what is important for an investor. We also understand the gambling market well. You will see it in our presentation, which we are going to post with our next weekly progress report. In the presentation you will find answers to many questions asked here.

Yes, you understood the way it works absolutely right.
We are working hard on the site. Also, we published a weekly report at the top of this thread, so anyone could see that the project is not just an idea.  We are moving, and we are moving fast. In fact, we are very close to completing the product and we know exactly how to market it to the players.
