So the block 386100 was mined.

The hash is 0000000000000000018be32b9f799d0e6adecc78d88f22376f0616cc4ba1dabb

Last 3 bytes are a1 da bb = 0xa1dabb = 10,607,291.

The winning game index is 10,607,291 % 2,064 = 395 (game number 396).

And our winner is Dproxima. Again, no surprise. He played 1,530 games (74.1%).

Congratulations!

The exchange rate was changed to be 10 times smaller (you get 10 times more bets for the same amount of money).

The room also made smaller, improving your chances of winning.

Plus this week's additional prize is $25 (November 23 - November 30).

It's surprising how many people would just walk past the chance to increase their money 50 times (!)

Right now the house edge is near zero, this means $1 (0.003 btc) allows you to stay in the game for a very long time or even win quite a bit, and at the same time get a decent chance of winning the $50.

With less than 3 days to go, what are you waiting for?

The room was made smaller: 17 x 10 squares and payouts changed to x10 for regular win and x50 for jackpot.

This should make it easier to play. The previous room was too hardcore Smiley

The prize will be rewarded in a transparent way:

  • we will create a list of all eligible games (at least 1 bet)
  • then pick some future Bitcoin block height
  • wait until there are at least 6 blocks on top of this height
  • use 3 last bytes of block's hash as an integer A
  • the winning game will be determined as A % (games list length)

Next week's additional prize is $50.

All games with at least 1 bet in the period October 26 - November 2 UTC will be combined in a list and a random game will be selected.

The player with most bets in that particular game will win the prize.

In case several players in that game have the same max number of bets, the prize will be shared between them.

This means that even if you place just one bet, but in a game where nobody else bets, you still get a chance to win it.

Good luck!

(CryptoPlay investors with more than 100 shares, myself included, are not eligible for this prize).
