Hi, Let's start discussion on bitcoin gaming.I already saw many provably fair dice and casino websites.But there are so many dice websites popping out.I want something unqiue and creative to start. I want users to pay on their skills.Like skill based games.
What do you think?

I couldn't agree more! I get that gambling sites have to make things work based on maths/odds/chances though if they want to make a profit or guarantee their losses. What I would like to see more of is Peer to Peer betting but that takes such a large number of people before it gains critical mass. I'd be quite happy to put up .1 BTC to compete against someone at a skill based game - if I won I would take .2 BTC minus a small game fee, if I lost I would walk away with nada.
What sort of skill based games do you like? Are you thinking card games like Solitaire? Or numbers games like Sudoku? Or something more complex?

I think there already was a multiplayer flappybird game - it was web based! Dunno if you could gamble on it or not though...
Checkers would be THE BOMB!

Skill games are hard to realize cause it ends up in who is skilled in cheating and writing the best bot. In p2p games the majority of fair players will lose interest fast and when betting against the house you have to either increase the difficulty + lower the player profits (which will annoy fair players) or work hard on anti-cheating measures and trying to prove people are indeed cheating.

Disclaimer: Shameless shilling follows I agree! And that's why I made https://www.moneypot.com/ -- it's primarily luck based, but there is also an element of skill -- be on of the last people to cashout, to get a prize. Unlike almost all bitcoin gambling games out there, it's actually possible to achieve a positive expected value with certain playing styles.

I disagree. There are plenty of skill games, that are extremely difficult to write a bot for. Even something like a rock-paper-scissors bot is a daunting challenge. Deviate from the nash equilibrium (a random throw), and risk being exploited. But if you play randomly, and you have only downside (assuming a rake). I think in a game like that, there would be virtually no bots -- and a lot of players. But yeah, there's definitely whole classes of games which aren't really suitable due to bots (e.g reflex based, and many strategy based ones)

Why do you consider rock-paper-scissors a skill game? It is mainly luck based IMO, though if it is played face to face, you may be able to read your opponent's gesture and predict his movement. When I think about skill games, I immediately think of games like chess and backgammon, which people have created extremely powerful bots...

Need to have a bitcoin based platform for games such as Starcraft, Dota, LoL, HoN, Hearthstone, CS, etc...It might not be as profitable as a dice or other casino site, but it might turn some heads.

I have been trying to find out what it would take to host something like this. I have been researching it for over a year now. Take Dota for instance: Each team / clan pays an entrance fee, and the winner takes the pot. Or my other one was a first person shooter. ( counterstrike or Black ops) You register on a server, then load your wallet with X amount of Bitcoin. Then each time you die, you lose a little, and for each kill you gain a little. I guarantee this would work, And if somebody shares my vision, send me a PM and lets chat about it.

Here are the screen shot That game is called zumba. and YES, bot exists for that. Its not possible to make a"skill and fair game" over the Internet. Why? Because someone COULD and most probably WILL use his PC and any other thing you can imagine to gain an edge against you. Chess? I could run chessmaster on another machine next to me. Shoot the bubbles? I could code that. Counterstrike? Aimbots. You cant control it/limit it except if you are in the same room and spectators can ensure you that no one cheats.
