Does this look like a fun way to gamble? Like etheroll **Blockfight is now live!

[jchi2210]

EDIT** Blockfight is now live! Give it a go here! You can play with Ethereum or Halo right now. You'll soon be able to play with Bitcoin as well!
https://www.blockfight.com/


Hey guys, I was able to get in on the Beta for a new wager game that is played on the Halo blockchain called Blockfight and it is made by Halo's gaming studio, Block and Chain games. They are about to release their first blockchain game where you can wager on fights using Halo, Bitcoin, and Ethereum! The Halo blockchain supports wrapped coins and they can easily wrap BTC and ETH and do the game hashes on the Halo blockchain and convert back to ETH and BTC when you want to cash out.  I did a comparison to Etheroll (popular dice game), you can watch below:



The thing that they really have going for them is speed and free transactions. They have instantaneous free transactions and that really puts them in a great place for blockchain games, as you can tell by the video. Let me know what you guys think

I love gaming initiatives using blockchain.
What I believe is a problem are the miners fees, which you need to pay for everything.

And yes, it looks like a nice way to gamble

Couldn't have said it better myself. I love ethereum as much as anyone else but the slow TPS and miner fees will stop mass adoption in certain areas like gaming/gambling. Halo has free send/receive transactions that are instant and are able to overcome that obstacle.

They welcome any feedback, the only reason I say that is because I suggested adding the music to the background while you're fighting and they were able to update the game with other feedback requests in just a few days. Today they announced this:

"We want to give you one more update before the Beta ends tomorrow night. In this update, the big new thing is the ability to pre-set the number of fights you want to autoplay consecutively. This was a community requested feature which allows players who prefer to autoroll play several rounds in a row. As you can see, you can also cancel it if you're mid-stride and wish to stop."

This really look like a nice way to gamble.  I just want to ask if this is centralized gambling site or decentralized one.  However I will trying to play and really see how it works. I also like the free transactions.

[mindrust]

How is this different than the regular dice games besides of the 3d art? I get it these games happen on the blockchain and The graphics are great but it is still a dice game in the end.

What we need is more complicated RPG/hack&slash  games like diablo with a auction house and the base currency of the game should (of course) be a crypto currency. I would play that game.

Those demon arts are great maybe they turn it into some kind of rpg game later.

[Johnyz]

Yeah, the graphics was so great and when you gamble on this site for sure you will enjoy and you will play more. If the transaction is free for good, I think this can be another good site to play with. Hopefully the team will work hard to gain the trust of the gambler, wishing a success for this so i can play and earn some money here.

[bering]

Watching the video were your post on OP and this is interesting that playing gambling through creatures against creatures and this is first time to see it and attacking moves were depend on every dice roll have you got and since it in Beta version i wish it would be officially annoounce here for full versions and i do agree that game graphic was good and similar to RPG games

[Patatas]

I think it's harder to interpret the Halo based game since there are a lot of options to choose from. There is no point in drawing down the entire game as a subset of dice when a simple does game does exactly the same. Halo would have invested so much in developing that game when it's not skill based at all!!

[leowonderful]

Didn't find any link to the actual site anywhere in this link, so if you're too lazy to actually Google the site and find a link to it, here it is (click here).

Wish the beta for this game was public so other people could actually try out the game, but it does look pretty neat from a beginner's perspective- everything's neat, navigable, and well organized, and the game doesn't seem too demanding for a browser game. Do you have any sort of approximation for when this game will be released to the public?

The beta primarily consisted of the Halo community, it ends today unfortunately but I think the game is very close to completion. If I was to guess I would guess in the next 2 weeks for sure. The team did a great job with the game and had ease of use and UX in mind when building it. I wanted to add that the team that built this is an offset of the Halo team so they are building games that will work seamlessly with the Halo blockchain.

Decentralized and provably fair. Check out this page on Block and chains website: https://blockandchain.games/provablyfair

I found it quite easy to play and learn from without any instructions, the only thing that confused me at first was how ties worked. I get what you're saying about a subset of dice, but maybe its just me but I find it more engaging and fun to be able to battle it out. They will also have PvP coming as well, not just P v NPC.  Honestly I doubt they invested a lot, they do have a team who is working on gaming on the blockchain but they are laying the foundation and it will always pay off in the long run. They charge a 2% commission.

I would also like to add that ALL commission fees and profits from their games go to the MN holders, Halo has an Arch node so they get their portion of the profits.

Definitely agree, the more use cases for blockchain make the world a better place and I like to see people succeed in those use cases. There are no miners fees on Halo, all send/receive transactions are free.

I mean I guess it's the same as regular dice games,but with 3d art to make it a bit more engaging. Plus you're playing on the blockchain instantaneously with provably fair odds. They (Block and Chain game studios) definitely have plans for games like that as well. They did a AMA live and I asked about Runescape type game and they said they are looking at doing all options, they want to establish themselves first of course. I completely agree about having more RPG hack&slash games related with blockchain/crypto, those are going to be killer. The great thing is that there are games like that out there being worked on! And to top it all off, they chose the Halo blockchain to run their in game currency on because its so fast and it's free. The game is called Decimated by Fracture Labs. here are the links to their website and Youtube account where they are posting videos. They also have a discord channel where they post updates and ingame graphics to.

Also, Block and Chain game studio is also about to release their beta for Draggin' Dragons, i haven't been able to check it out yet but you can wager on it by racing dragons. Apparently you can breed and buy the dragons.

I just realized that my comment could've had some negative connotations upon re-reading, so I apologize if this came across in my post; I was referencing the laziness to readers of the thread.

Interesting that this game could fit in with the entire Halo blockchain; I wasn't aware that Halo was coming up with multiple games in the future. Have you received any sort of beta to Draggin' Dragons as well? I noticed this on the Block and Chain site, dunno if this is going to released close to Blockfight or not. I'll definitely try out both games when they're released nevertheless. Never hurts to have more variety in crypto gambling.

No worries at all! I didn't take it that way   They definitely have some good stuff in the works! Ironically enough, they just released their weekly newsletter that mentions adding "some great RPG elements" to Draggin Dragons, speaking with Devin Seto (Head of Game studio) in the discord, he mentioned that Blockfight will be out before the end of the month for sure and they are going to shoot for early February for the beta to Draggin Dragons because they "want to be careful not to muddy the waters as we launch Blockfight" Here is their newsletter which mentions a partnership with 55Play, and they are already partners with the Crypto Gamers Community:

What I believe is a problem are the miners fees, which you need to pay for everything.

And yes, it looks like a nice way to gamble

I think if other currencies are introduced in gambling along with bitcoin, it will really help the cause and miner fee will be very limited as one can have option to chose any coin to gamble.
On the OP Video, this look really interesting one  

[peter0425]

It's really looks cool, the graphics and all the stuff. But I don't know, yes it's engaging but maybe I'm old school though, I just wanted to play the old and traditional on-line dice games. But that's just me, this is just my opinion lads and don't get me wrong here.

It is a "dice game" yes, but, it i faster that a lot of other dice games and with the transactions being free it gives you a bit more control over your money and what you want to wager etc.
You can play the game as a game, on "slow x1" speed, or if you just want to hit the button and go, turn up the speed to as fast as it will go and put roll on auto, then its just 1 click to start the next game, much faster than most dice games out there, and nice to look at whilst it plays out.



With regards to more complicated games, I am going to speak with Devin myself when we're both online at the same time. I know they partnered with Fracture Labs, who are making Decimated.
You can read the press release they published about this partnership here; https://thecryptoarmory.com/fracture-labs-and-block-chain-studios-collaborate-on-epic-gaming-experience/

For those who cant be bothered to read the article (its short, so do it anyway);

"a unique and totally immersive online survival game complete with an in-game blockchain economy and token, which will be integrated into Block and Chain’s platform."

"Block and Chain will offer several benefits to the Decimated tech stack, including low friction currency flow APIs, an integrated wallet, and decentralized exchange."

"Both Block and Chain and Decimated are made up of teams of game industry veterans who are bringing mainstream gameplay to the blockchain and setting the standard for quality games."

I see some good things coming from Halo and Block and Chain Games in the future.

For people who do like or seek for new dice experience then this site is really worth to try but sadly it is only available on some alts only and no bitcoin option is available.

I dont have experience on these new 3D dice games but the concept do looks cool but for those fellas who do love instant results then this site wont really be for you.

[aoluain]

well its certainly interactive and the interface is good but im
a bit dissapointed that the fighters dont actually fight each
or I cannot control my chosen foghter and use my skills
at gaming. its essentially a dice game.

Actually, I forgot to mention this, they've stated that they will accept BTC and ETH to wager with soon after release. The Halo platform has coin wrapping and can put BTC and ETH on their blockchain, so the hashes can be done near instant and free and when you're ready to cash out it goes right back to BTC to your wallet.

Completely understandable! I wonder if they would consider an option to turn off the fighters and the likes just for the old school players, that way you still get the fast/free benefits and are able to play.

a bit dissapointed that the fighters dont actually fight each

I can also understand this sentiment, I think they would definitely do a game that is like this in the near future, they are just getting started and are trying to get established.

In sometimes it may happen but it is common in this field to be handle with our pressure things with a patient will be very important and making the huge thing to be normal will always be the best idea for each and every Gambler to live better life in their economic society.
