Lords and Ladies of Westeros. My name is Alequo Adarys https://houseofchance.s3.amazonaws.com/images/merchant_tiny.png and I have the pleasure of being the owner of the House of Chance (https://houseofchance.NET)

Located in Fleabottom, in the dinghy heart of King's Landing, the House of Chance has created a unique game combining both luck and knowledge. The first-of-its-kind game allows a player to achieve an astonishing 1% edge in their favor, with knowlegeable play. Built into the legendary Iron Throne of Aegon the Conqueror, the game is a slot machine where the slots represent the 9 great Houses of Westeros. Players at the House of Chance first choose which of the great Houses they belong to, and when a winning sequence of patterns includes their house, the player will be awarded a "House Bonus" payout on top of their normal winning payout. But the payout does not stop there. After a "House Bonus" the player will be presented with a question about the history and lore of Westeros, allowing them to win an even bigger "Question Bonus" payout. Questions range from easy to very hard and their difficulty depends on the type of patterns the player spun in the slot machine. An example question is shown below:


Notice that questions are in multiple choice format and that there is a timer which gives the player a limited amount of time to answer the question. The timer ensures that players with the knowledge of Maester will be able to answer the question, but those who wish to search the scrolls of the Citadel in search of the answer will not have enough time. The questions come from the largest online collection of Game of Thrones trivia. Players at the House of Chance may also contribute to the collection of trivia by creating their own questions. Any questions created by a player that are accepted into the collection of trivia will result in a "question bounty" of 1000 gold Dragons (the currency of Westeros) to the player who submitted it. Gold dragons may be converted to and from bitcoins at a rate of 1 bitcoin = 1 million gold Dragons. A player will also be acknowledged for creating a question whenever it is shown to other players in the House of Chance who obtain a House Bonus while playing the game.

With knowledgeable play, a player at the House of Chance can have an edge as high as 1% in their favor - so in the long term they should be able to beat the House. The more you know about Game of Thrones, the better you will be able to do. Fans of Game of Thrones will find that there is no other place in Westeros where wagering is more in their favor than at the House of Chance.

The game provides many great features, including:

  • Variable House edge, up to 1% in the player's favor
  • Largest collection of Game of Thrones trivia on the web
  • The more you know about Game of Thrones, the better your odds
  • Faucet feature: ability to create trivia for the site and be rewarded with 1000 gold Dragons (instantly convertible to btc) for each question you create that's accepted. You can submit an unlimited number of questions so long as they're well crafted
  • 1 confirm deposits
  • Instant withdrawals
  • Chat feature so you can discuss Game of Thrones with other fans and players at the House of Chance
  • Provably fair (https://houseofchance.net/faq#a9)
  • Fund the bankroll and share in the profits*

The House of Chance also incorporates state of the art security practices to ensure the safety of player and investor funds, including:

  • All traffic is over SSL
  • Two factor authentication is available to secure player and investor accounts
  • Rate limited login attempts
  • Bcrypted passwords
  • Built on top of a secure Linux architecture
  • Majority of investor funds are kept in cold-storage
  • Encrypted hot wallet


Without further ado I would like to welcome you all to the House of Chance, and may the odds be good!

https://houseofchance.NET


* Due to the recent and unfortunate spate of scammers and knaves making off with investor funds, the House of Chance funding-the-bankroll feature will only be available by invitation (send me a PM or email if you would like to try this feature, but please be aware of all the risks involved in using it)

Thanks Sherbyspark Smiley I built the game partly to expand the audience of folks who might be interested in Bitcoin. I figure there are a lot of people who really love Game of Thrones (like me), but don't know much about bitcoin and probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to play at bitcoin dice sites. And I made it so I made the game simple and anyone can play even without deposting bitcoin. You can either play using complimentary silver Stags (1000 are given to you as soon as you visit the site), or if you want to play with real money but don't know how to acquire bitcoins, you can go to the site and create trivia, which gets you a payout in gold Dragons (which can then be converted back to bitcoins).

I want to also say a big thank you to Deb and Dooglus, who were the first users of the House of Chance and gave me plenty of very helpful feedback (Doog even caught some important bugs for me). Deb was great at providing general usability feedback and creating some fantastic trivia for the site (I hope folks will play the game and get a chance to test their Game of Thrones knowledge against Deb's trivia).

Of course I want to emphasize that this is NOT an endorsement of the site by either of them and they are in no way associated with it. Any potential issues with the site are my own responsibility.

Thanks Deb&Doog!

I have discovered something which looks like a bug.

I rolled 3 in a row, and the guy said "Three in a row! If you spin three in a row one more time you will win big!"
I did roll 3 in a row another time, and the same message appeared. I even rolled a 3 in a row some time later, and still no win.

Maybe you should fix this.

Hi Joseph, sorry for confusing you. When you spin a three in a row, you must spin another immediately after to get a payout. There are three winning sequences of spins:

1. One quadruple (four houses in a row).
2. Two triples (three houses in a row, spun twice).
3. Three doubles (seeing two houses in a row in three consecutive spins).

If in any sequence of spins you hit four different houses that is a bust.

Please let me know if you would like any other clarification and thanks for playing at the House of Chance. I really appreciate your feedback

Thanks Mindtrust. I'm also a big fan of Game of Thrones, which is why I created the game Smiley

Btw, so far 5000 gold Dragons (which can be converted to btc or used to play on the site) have been awarded as bounties to players using the "create trivia" feature of the site to create new Game of Thrones trivia. I'm hoping folks here who enjoy game of thrones will consider contributing trivia so they can win these bounties too.

Question: What are the words of House Stark?

If you know the answer you should be playing at https://houseofchance.NET

Seven heavens! I can't tell you how grateful I am to read the kind words from you and others. As I mentioned a big part of my goal was to help grow our community by creating a game that appeals to folks who might not know much about bitcoin but love Game of Thrones. If you know people like that I would be so grateful if you could introduce them to the game. They can play for free, or even play for bitcoins without buying bitcoins by contributing trivia to the site.

I would also love to hear what features you guys would like to make the game more fun to play. I tried to make the odds very competitive with any other dice game. If you know anything about game of thrones you're probably going to get odds better than 1% house edge. If you know a lot about game of thrones you're going to have an edge in your favor and beat the house.


Please let me know anything I can do so that you guys can have a more enjoyable experience. If enough people like the site I might consider branching out and creating other themed games for shows or books that you guys love (e.g., Lord of the Rings or Sopranos or things like that).
