Why cant you double after taking a card? Is this Black Jack or Spanish 21? If the latter, then this is the first time Ive ever played with these rules.

It's clearly a bubble:





Congrats on your amazing growth!

You're welcome! Enjoy

We have just surpassed our 10 millionth hand played! We created some pretty charts outlining our gameplay breakdown, which you can see here: https://bitzino.com/about/numbers/10_million_hands

Also, in celebration of the 10 millionth hand, we're giving away bitcoins! We gave the lucky player who played hand number 10 million a 1 BTC prize. We also gave every player that was actively playing during the milestone hand a 100 mBTC runner-up prize. We also gave every single active player over the past 2 days a 10 mBTC bonus.

Thanks to all our players for an amazing 10 million hands!

Hey!  I just noticed my bonus for playing near the 10 millionth hand!  THANKS!!!!  Bitzino is the best.

Thanks for the kind words! I love the differentiation you make with us an traditional online casinos

The rewards program is still in the works, but we are planning on rolling out 3-card poker as our next big release. After that we'll hammer out all the details and get the reward program ready to launch. I know I said the same thing before launching Slots, but sometimes it can be hard to get the exact timelines right, so sorry about that! I can tell you that it will be worth the wait!

Sorry about that! We have now fixed this issue, so any cool-off time is allowable. Thanks for letting us know about the problem!

Just a small thing: the 3 day and 7 day periods are in the options now, but gives an error when I try to enable.

Once again, thanks for implementing the feature

Second that. Great site and great philosophy wrt treating your customers.


Thank you, I appreciate the gesture!

Thanks for the feedback regarding this, and please let us know if there's any other color issues you see (or any issues at all!) I've added a comp to your account to thank you for helping us make bitZino a better place to play!


Glad you like it! We just went in and added a 3-day and a 7-day option as well.

Great update in regard to the cool off period.

Very respectable of you to sacrifice potential profit in order to give users a better experience

On the setup screen for the cool-off period, I see a button 'Enable' but no 'back' or 'cancel' in case I don't want to enable it.

It's a little bit better. Or maybe I am just used to it, I can't tell.


I love the cool-off period! Seriously. If there is any additional request I would make is to add 3 days and 1 week options.

We've pushed a handful of changes which address some of the issues recently discussed:

- We made the Roulette history slightly darker. We spent a lot of time experimenting here with different changes, but the change we ended up making is relatively subtle. Let me know if it helps with the eye strain!

- You can now set a self-imposed maximum bet from your settings page. This helps prevent you from accidentally betting more than you intended to.

- You can now enable a self-imposed "Cool-off" period. During the cool-off period, you won't be able to make any real-bitcoin wagers from your account. This hadn't been discussed on these forums yet, but we've gotten some user feedback regarding it, and it fits in well with the self-imposed maximum-bet feature. We want our players to have fun, so hopefully this feature can help make sure it stays fun.


Our strategy has always been to maximize players' playtime. That's why we have small house-edges and tiny minimum bets. We'd rather you play for hours with a single deposit, than have you take a few crazy risks and end up feeling like you didn't really have any fun. We intentionally chose a soothing color scheme to match this goal.

We've also started work on the advanced roulette features as well as keyboard shortcuts.

Keep the feedback coming!

The history board is a different shade of blue to the table (it's a sort of dark aquamarine, ~20/70/128). If you can make the history board black or light grey, it would alleviate the issue with the red letters. The rest of the table and color scheme is fine, although I am somewhat surprised that you would choose blue as your main color. Research has shown that color has a huge effect on emotions, and considering that your main source of revenue is people staring at your color scheme for hours on end, I would guess this effect is accentuated tenfold. Would a bright, cheerful color scheme not be better suited to motivate risktaking?

Thanks for the links!


We are working to add this feature as well. Now that we've increase the max-bet for most of our games to such a large amount, this feature will be nice for someone that knows they never want to wager that high.

I found this link after some quick searching: http://designshack.net/articles/accessibility/tips-for-designing-for-colorblind-users/

Also, as long as you're taking feature requests, I would like the ability to do self-imposed betting limits. I cost myself a lot of money one time when I played and didn't move the decimal far enough to the left. Gambling addicts could also find this useful to mitigate their problem.

Sorry it's taken so long to implement this! Keyboard shortcuts have always been on the backburner, but it seems like we keep finding a reason to push them off. We'll stop pushing it off, and get it implemented soon.


We always do try to take color-blindness into account, basically by trying not to rely on color, or at least using highly contrasting colors when possible. However, we don't actually have any colorblind people to test with, so this feedback is very valuable!

I wonder if there is anything subtle we can do to alleviate this issue, or if it's minor enough that it's not worth a change? Please do let us know if there are any other color issues that you notice! We have thought about adding a colorblind mode, but ideally we'd just make it work right for all users by default.


We'll think about this...


I agree about not wanting to clutter the interface, but this may fit well under an expandable "advanced" section.


This is a great idea! We see a lot of wagers where the board is completely covered except for a few numbers, and I'm sure that clicking that many times is very tedious. Anything we can do to help make it easier to wager is definitely a good thing!



Adding a "Halve bets" button does make a lot of sense. We'll work on adding this.


This could also fit nicely under an advanced panel. We'll see if we can make this work.


Thanks for all the advice! I definitely like the idea of an advanced area which could house a lot of these option, and just make it easier for power-players to make their wagers more efficiently.

We'll be pushing out some other updates soon, and then we'll get to work on these! Thanks again for the feedback, and keep it coming!

Blackjack's house edge is apparently 0.398% if you play using basic strategy.
Roulette's is 2.7027%.
Jacks or better video poker is 0.46% to 0.54% depending on how complex a strategy you're willing to learn.
I don't have numbers for craps or slots.

Blackjack has better EV than roulette, but there is a lot more variance in blackjack, so betting systems are a lot more frustrating to implement. Basic strategy is only good for very very small stakes.

If you're playing $10 or $25, then it's risky. For example if you keep hitting blackjack and getting 3/2 on your starting bets, you are getting a lot less return than if you catch a string of losses first and then hit 3/2 on a higher stakes bet. Conversely, splitting/doubling is great at lower stakes, but as you get closer to the bet limit you dread aces because it usually means 3x your starting bet and you might not have that.

Roulette is far more homogeneous in this respect.

If you just wanna pump some dopamine and top up 5% to your starting bankroll, go with roulette. If you have been drinking and just wanna gamble until you lose everything, then play blackjack. With blackjack you don't know what the fuck is gonna happen, and you could make a lot of money fast!
