Welcome to the forum, Videopokersite.
I have personally never been a player of video poker, though, I have been in contact with gamblers who prefer to play video poker instead of the actual P2P experience of poker.
I wondered if you have public data on the edge of your casino and some clear tutorial on how to verify your service is probably fair.
Also. It catches my attention you mention your minimum deposit is just one Satoshi, but you don't mention your casino supports lightning network.
Is this the case or you are only marketing that incredibly low deposit in order for people not to worry about whether they were depositing enough or not to be credited to their wallet.
Hello, thank you for your very relevant questions. It’s great to see someone looking under the hood! Here are the technical details regarding our platform:
1. House Edge and Paytable
Our game follows the classic Jacks or Better rules with a 9/6 paytable. This means a Full House pays 9x and a Flush pays 6x. With optimal play, this setup offers a very player-friendly House Edge of approximately 0.46% (99.54% RTP). We don't hide behind complicated math; the multipliers are transparently listed in our payout table.
2. Provably Fair Verification
We use a standard industry-proven algorithm to ensure every hand is pre-determined and untamperable:
Generation: The deck is shuffled using HMAC-SHA256 combining a Server Seed, Client Seed, and a Nonce.
Commitment: Before the deal, we provide a SHA-256 hash of the Server Seed.
Verification: After the hand is finished (the "draw" phase), the original Server Seed is revealed to the player. You can then use our on-site verifier or any independent script to re-calculate the deck and confirm the result was fair.
3. On-chain Deposits and the "1 Satoshi" Limit
You made a sharp observation regarding the Lightning Network.
Current State: We are currently On-chain only and do not use Lightning Network at this moment.
Why 1 Satoshi? Our game engine's internal minimum bet is indeed set to 1 Satoshi to allow maximum flexibility for players' balances.
Reality of Deposits: We agree that depositing 1 satoshi on-chain is impractical due to network fees. We mention this limit primarily as a technical capability of the engine, but we always advise users to deposit amounts that make sense relative to current mempool fees.
4. Security (XPUB Derivation)
For user safety, we use XPUB-based address derivation. Every user gets a unique deposit address generated from our master public key using their User ID. This allows us to keep our private keys entirely offline, significantly reducing the risk for our users.
Feel free to ask if you have any more technical questions!
