BitYacht - Now also with slot machines

[BCEmporium]

Within the development of BitYacht I decided to add slot machines, well, just one for now but more to come.

You can access it by http://www.bityacht.com/index.php?p=slots

System up and running. Here're the differences between game modes:

Play for Fun Unregistered
Jackpot always starts at 200
Initial balance is always 10

Play for Fun Registered
Jackpot is the "Fun" jackpot for that game in the database
It uses your fun account balance

Play for Real
It uses your real account balance.

Soon to come:
More slots with other values
Blackjack
Roulette
Casino Games
Video Poker

Please keep in mind that my site does NOT accept visitors using Internet Explorer (I could hack the CSS's, but I really don't think IE deserves that as MS seams unable to either comply with W3C Standards or build a decent browser)

Added 0.01 BTC 3 Reel Slot: Ghost Train
Added 0.05 BTC 3 Reel Slot: Jackpot Killer

Had been it left playing on auto for over 10 minutes, no hassles

I've been playing the "for fun" version of Jackpot Killer on autoplay with max bet, and all I can say is... are the odds this good with real coins too? In only a few minutes I'm up to 14.80 from 10.

Payouts are fixed at 95% (normal internet casinos are at 70%)

For fun has 2 different versions, if you're registered you play for fun with a more accurate banking and compete for the jackpot with other fun players, for fun as guest it creates a "lone bank" for you.

I'm not sure what you mean. All I'm asking is, if I "Play for Fun", do I have the same odds of winning as if I "Play for Real"ed?

[BCEmporium]

I understand, but I don't know.
The algorithm is the same, however it depends on how many players were been playing in either mode, as the prize pools doesn't mix.
If at some point you've more real than free players or if one player gets lucky and hits jackpot... it will always depend on your luck and the pool. Therefore I can't ensure you nothing.
As so far there were more free than real so probably free have a bigger pool and pays better, but it may change at any time. It's a casino and isn't rigged, it's purely random.

Been looking to the new mBTCasino and all free are down from their beginning (they always start with 100), unlucky ones? It's Friday 13th? I don't know... in your case you are up in bityacht, some are down too. The algorithms on both sites are still the same.

You were wondering about earnings? Just been checking accounting (to see if all sums matches what the casino is supposed to have) and noticed a user yesterday with this record in real play:
Deposit: 4.30 BTC
Withdraw: 19.00 BTC

I can't tell who he is, as this is all anonymous and all I've is an username.

I'm not sure what you mean. All I'm asking is, if I "Play for Fun", do I have the same odds of winning as if I "Play for Real"ed?

I guess I finally understand what you mean, as I came across a casino software suit with a brochure saying:

«Lure your customers into deposit by let them play with our free play mode designed to make them feel they're lucky»

And the answer is no, my system has no such rig, the algorithms on both free and real play are exactly the same (I'd already see some folks losing the 100 Free chips quite fast... maybe I should implement a rig like that one of that casino software, but I really don't like rigged games, so to this one also the answer is: No I won't.)

Still I was thinking of your question that because you were winning on Free Play mode, you would still win at Real Play. That one I can't tell... you could be winning at free and lose at real / lose at free and win at real / win on both / lose on both... I don't know, don't have a "make lose"/"make win" switch.
