I think most available in the market at the moment are mostly gambling related. There certainly is a market for Bitcoin games - maybe i'll make one  Smiley

Gambling games are good, but they aren't a great way to attract newcomers into cryptocurrency. I believe that this industry is ripe for innovation, yet there doesn't seem much interest from developers into making Bitcoin-based games. There are better games out there for alternative blockchains such as Ethereum and EOS. With the introduction of non-fungible tokens, it's now possible to expand the blockchain-based gaming industry like never.

While ETH and EOS still have gambling games dominance, there are quite a variety of games which are really good to play. My top picks are CryptoKitties, Decentraland, and CryptoCarz. As for Bitcoin-based games, I would go for Bitcoin Billionaires, BitKong, and Crypto-games. Once the Lightning Network becomes stable and highly popular, then I believe that a greater variety of Bitcoin-based games will emerge in the future.

Nonetheless, the list of BTC games appears to be growing at a slow rate compared to other cryptocurrencies on the market (like Ethereum). Just my thoughts Grin

However when something is "too free" it's usually not worth much $$$.
I mean... sure they give you some tokens, but who would buy them and why? If all their usage is to earn them for free and then sell them in the market then their price would collapse in a couple of days.

If they were rewarding BTC that'd be another case, but I don't see why would anyone give you free BTC. Maybe you could earn BTC for watching in-game apps which would be a percentage of the payment the developers get from the advertised product, but (1) I don't know if any such app exists and (2) in order for the developers to make a good revenue, the rewards they'd share would be too low for most people to bother which in turn would send the advertised companies away.

Good point. It wouldn't make any sense to give out free tokens, without any effort at all. This would cause the token to become worthless on the market since there's no demand for it. Of course, airdrops, giveaways, and rewards are a good way to earn some extra income. But there needs to be some utility for an in-game token, otherwise people won't have much interest in it.

Things aside, there are many Bitcoin games available, but they don't give you good rewards. On the other hand, Ethereum games are much more rewarding but still not enough to make a decent income out of them. Among my favorite Bitcoin games, they're mostly in the category of gambling which are Crypto-Games.net and PrimeDice. There's an interesting Bitcoin game called Bitcoin Hodler which involves hodling Bitcoin for the longest time possible.

Nonetheless, Bitcoin games would become more interesting than ever with the introduction of the Lightning Network and RootStock. Only then NFT tokens would become viable, as well as, micropayments bringing a new era of Blockchain-based gaming into Bitcoin. Other than that, most games would become practical in Ethereum, EOS, or TRON blockchains. Just my thoughts Grin

I used to play games the give you few satoshi but I can't remember the website name but I know one of them has a snake game, a shooting alien game and mining game. They were so good to but I came to realization that my time versus what I earned on those platforms is not that fulfilling.

That's like a faucet game, you can earn a little but you spend much time.
I do think in my early stage because that time bitcoin was still cheap and you can earl much satoshi if you play more.
We have different type of game but it's all about faucet games.

Nowadays, it's easy for us to play if we use our own money, like in sports betting and we can find ways to work online by participating bounties campaign.

I have two nice games to recommend, however those are built on Ethereum. I can't imagine how expensive a game would be to support BTC transactions!
This RootStock sidechain seems interesting, but as far I as I was able to research there isn't any game supporting it, it's only a theory so far.

If you want to play something TODAY and you don't mind touching Ethereum, Axie Infinity (a pokemon-like collection and fighting game) and Gods Unchained (a TCG) are some high quality games which might also earn you some money if you collect and trade rare items.
Axie Infinity is planning to support LOOM soon in order to reduce the tx fees.

Yes. RootStock is still in its early steps, which means that it would take quite some time before we would be able to experience games on it. As far as Ethereum goes, it seems to be the leader in blockchain gaming nowadays. These games you've mentioned are new to me, and it's nice to know about them, since they're a great way to earn a small reward in return for playing them.

Personally, I'm a fan of Ethereum-based games, but I believe that Bitcoin-based games would be better at least in terms of security and reliability. Ethereum needs to scale to support massive blockchain gaming, which at its current state, it's not possible to attract the masses. Luckily, the Loom Network and PoA Network, have devised some unique sidechain technologies which allow games to require less fees for playing at unmatched speeds.

If game devs make use of these sidechains (either PoA or Loom's Plasmachains), then Ethereum will truly become a workhorse for blockchain gaming. As of now, there are many games available to play with such as: Axie Infinity, Gods Unchained, CryptoSouls, CryptoKitties, Blockchain Cuties, Hash Puppies, CryptoCarz, and more. On the other hand, Bitcoin would experience a whole new level of gaming with its adoption of the RootStock sidechain for mainstream smart contracts.

Nonetheless, I hope to see many more Blockchain-based games that would serve as an entry point for newcomers into cryptocurrency. It's seems to me that it's not only about Bitcoin (in terms of gaming), but also Ethereum, NEO, and other smart contract platforms for blockchain-based gaming with NFTs. Smiley

in None of these games you can actually earn money unless u invest so dont think about it !
Not sure exactly but MobileGo lets anyone earn MGO tokens or GN Gold when using their app. And it's free. Not sure if it suits u.
How does this "earn" work? Same as mining or so?

A LN-based game will be completely different, as it requires each transaction to be send through your wallet again. I see great possibilities for LN for casino's, where an (near) instant deposit can send your winnings back to your wallet within seconds, but not for games that use bots to play on a website.

In that case, I think that the RootStock sidechain would serve its purpose well for Bitcoin-based games. LN could be used for decentralized online casinos, while RootStock would be used for other games that would make use of NFTs, and more. I would be surprised to see a game which resembles the CryptoKitties game, right on the Bitcoin blockchain (via the RootStock sidechain, of course). This would enable a whole new functionality for Bitcoin that was never thought possible.

If this becomes viral, then Bitcoin would not only become popular as a store of value, but also as a cryptocurrency for online gaming. In comparison with Ethereum, games would be much more secure and safer on Bitcoin with the use of RootStock, simply because Bitcoin has more hashpower than any other cryptocurrency to date. However, the success of this will greatly depend on how many people would adopt Bitcoin's Layer-Two solutions (LN and RootStock) for gaming.

Nonetheless, Bitcoin games seem to be the most popular nowadays on mobile devices. I've seen various Bitcoin games for Android which are quite popular, although none of them pay a desirable amount of money to players. Which means that Bitcoin gaming would be only for pure fun, instead of profit. Sad

This is extremely interesting but it makes me ask the question, why has this not been thought of before? Bitcoin is the most accepted and oldest crypto for gaming and gambling, why hasn't rootstock at least tried something like this?

By the way, making android games and mobile is never much about profit to my mind;) When has anyone ever played games for profit except if it's in eSports tournaments?

I played a bitcoin game in the Telegram channel called HouseMoney. An interesting game like Tycoon. However, recently Telegram began to send messages about users complaints to this game.

if you like casino games 5 dimes has a ton of different games and slots.
I know bovada also has a bitcoin 100% bonus going right now also which has
many casino games. Note that they will convert your btc to fiat currency but
you can cash out in bitcoin and they convert it back.
Bitcoin is unpredictable these days. Many of the investors are expecting for the rise of bitcoin's price hike. It is also n advantage for the buyers to buy bitcoin because of the low cost of each bitcoin. But we are all expecting for the price increase of bitcoin.

I'm looking for fun games where you can earn Bitcoin or use it within the game. Can you recommend me a list of BTC games that are fun and addicting? Just want to know the list of BTC games that are available as I'm going to use them as an introductory point to teach and attract new people towards Bitcoin at my place.  Smiley

There are games that involve gambling and casino. However, these are the following that I find it interesting and fun that is rank the top few best bitcoin games which are SaruTobi, Takara and Fun Cryptogames.io that consist of 6 different games, Bitcoin Pokemon Go and CryptoSkull.
