I'm not seeing a deposit address:

Reloading the page didn't fix it.  Deleting the account_key from the URL did, since I guess that makes me a new account.

The broken account is:

  https://bitcoinvideopoker.com/?account_key=00c40a212ff24f1a36c29512906824b1

You can reproduce the error by visiting that URL.

Hey!  Interesting.  Good find, I'll look into it.  I think I know what is causing this so it should be fixed shortly:)

When I tried to withdraw, it complained that my deposit wasn't confirmed yet:



It would be better if you accepted my request but waited for the deposit to confirm before paying out.  I don't mind waiting for the confirmation, but I don't want to have to remember to ask for it again in 10 minutes or however long it's going to take to confirm.  You could say something like "your withdrawal request will be processed as soon as your deposit has confirmed" so I know to expect a short delay.

There are a few minor issues with queuing up your withdrawal: can you continue playing while waiting on a withdrawal?  do we need a system where you can cancel pending withdrawals?

Either way -- I'll discuss the idea with the other programmer on the project.

When I tried to withdraw, it complained that my deposit wasn't confirmed yet:

It still tells me "Deposited Bitcoins have still not been confirmed. Please try again later." but now my deposit does have a confirmation.  If you're waiting for more than one confirmation, it would be good to say exactly how many I need to wait for.

Edit: I was able to cash out once my deposit had 2 confirmations.

Yup, sorry. It's 2 confirmations required to withdraw.  I'll update the text to say 2 confirmations:)

I just took a look at the site to check out the updates.

I'm not seeing a deposit address:



and at the bottom of the screen:



I also don't see anything about how much of each bet goes into the progressive pot, or how to set up the auto play / auto hold.

Edit: I see that clicking the 'auto' button lets me chose what kind of auto play I want, but that's not clear until I've clicked it.

1)  awesome.  can't wait to play.   still no royal - I don't play much VP - what is Royal avg?  around 20k hands? 

2)  3play / 5/50/100 play would be the nuts of course.  the usual alternate payout structures...

10 play dbl-dbl bonus with all differnet quads progressives 2-A with each being seeded with different amounts, i.e AAAA being the headshot (or 2222) sory if I'm not makign mjuch sense I have been up for ~ 4 days / just had my first kid / beautiful healthy daughter

1) I believe it's approximately every 35k, but that depends entirely on your play style to raise or lower that number

2) Check out the site now -- we have some new payout structures in the 5 new games we just added.

Congrats on the daughter!

Just another quick update --

We've revamped the Chat feature to be more integrated with gameplay.  We think it's crucial to be in that chat room right away!

We also added a like a volume slider.  We've started putting together plans for new pay tables and a progressive jackpot.  Stay tuned:)

love your site / about to fire now / really want 1st ever royal

amazing interface when you use an iOS blockchain.info wallet, it's just so cool to instantly cash in and out.  I am going to do a Youtube video about it - such a clean btc gaming experience. 

bravo my good man.

biggest improvement i would like to see:  progressives.  Royal flush at least.


Awesome!  We're glad you liked it.  Let us know when you do the YouTube video?  I'd love to see it!


For what it's worth, progressive jackpots are DONE! We're in testing phase right now and will be rolling them out in less than a couple weeks.

We also have some more surprises coming, so watch out Cool

Just deposited and played through BTC0.1.  

Nice interface.  Basically classic video poker.  My only recommendation to players is that since it is only full-pay at the max bet, don't do anything but that.  

A progressive would be nice, as long as the drop isn't sick.  Other variants like double double bonus and deuces wouldn't be bad, either.  

Cool, thanks for the comment.  We're in talks right now to figure out what we want to do for progressive jackpots as well implementing other pay tables (deuces wild, etc).  Look for it in the future:)

Yet another update to http://BitcoinVideoPoker.com/ is live! 

New Features

  • All new dynamic leaderboards.  You can watch things update in real time as you and others play.
  • "My Games" are never forgotten.  Reloading and returning to play will show your old games.

Improvements

  • The provably fair dialogs has been consolidated into a single location in the My Games tab. We added a verify button so that it's much easier to notice!
  • Twitter and facebook posts include your double down results.
  • Better sound effects.
  • New help dialogs and information.
  • Lots of attention to site load speed and size. Site should load even faster.

Fixes

  • We've done some work to get the site working with Internet Explorer.  All bets are still off, but things seem to be working.  Please report any bugs you find!

Come and visit us:)   We're also talking about more things to implement.  Would people rather see:

  • An autoplay button, where you can just sit back and watch games being played, or
  • an "assistant" that recommends which cards to hold,
  • A progressive Jackpot of some sort?
  • Or any other ideas?

Thanks!

We're thinking up some ways to make the provably fair stuff more visible.  We want to make sure everyone knows that each and every one of our games are legit.  The data is there, we just need to make sure there's something that says  "here's the proof!" is clearly accessible to anyone that wants it.  Stay tuned:)

In order to be provably fair you need to allow the user to 'cut the deck' in some way.  Otherwise all you're doing is proving that you decided which hand to give the user before they played rather than during.

If you don't take input from the user after providing them with a hash of your secret then you could still be skewing the distribution of hands in your favour.  It needs to be set up such that there's no way you can 'throw away' high value shuffles.

https://techblog.bitzino.com/2012-06-30-provably-fair-shuffling-through-cryptography.html is a good discussion of the topic.

As a matter of fact, the game already does this!  You can check the JavaScript code in the /static/ directory on the site but here's how it works:

  • Before you ever hit the DRAW button, the server picks a random seed for the next game, should you decide to play.  The seed is hashed and the hash is sent to the client.
  • When you hit DRAW, the client also picks a random seed and sends the seed to the server. This is what you called "cutting the deck."
  • The server uses both the server seed and the client seed to form a new game seed.
  • The deck is shuffled using the game seed and the hash of the deck is returned along with the hashed game seed.
  • At the end of the game, the server sends you the original server seed, game seed, and the deck.  The client verifies that the client seed was indeed used in the making of the game seed, that the server seed led to the correct hash provided before the game, and then verifies the game seed led to the deck that was actually used and THEN verifies the proper poker hand evaluation to make sure the prize is legitimate.

If you click on the links in the my games tab, you'll see all this information right there for you.

Very nice!
Not having to register makes if very easy for me to get my co-workers playing... I point them to the site, I bankroll them and they give me cash (I'll cash them out, too.)  If they get lucky, then I get to buy some bitcoin when I cash them out!

Keep it up!

very cool, very well done game.

Extremely nice interface IMO.

currently doing "research"

Smiley

love the look and feel of it, obviously blatant copyright infringement but I doubt OP is worried about that.  This plays / looks / feels very similar to las vegas video poker that I am surrounded by each day.

shout to the double-up feature, some foolish casinos are afraid of that button.  

AWESOME!
