I have a zero bitcoin balance. When I go to bitzino.com, I see the 'welcome to craps!' popup, with a 'or, play with play money' link in its lower left corner. I click that link, nothing happens for 3 seconds, then the popup fades out and fades back in again, and I'm back where I started.
The same thing happens for all 4 games; I'm unable to play for play money at all.

Sorry for the problems! We were having intermittent connectivity issues for the past few hours, but everything should be working now.

Thanks! It is the only bet I've ever made of over 40,000 chips. It was my last chance to recoup my lost chips. I am even more excited now that my win is worth more than $500. Here's hoping it's worth $600 by next week!!

An hour well wasted!
And you only had the Ace and the Jack! That's incredible, congrats!

I would be interested to see information about bet sizes. I understand you probably don't want to reveal it, or you would have done. I'm interested to see if there are really people playing for 20 BTC per hand, or whether the majority of the action is in the microcoin area (where I tend to play).
Jon Matonis just published a great article where we reveal some of our numbers in more depth: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2013/01/22/bitcoin-casinos-release-2012-earnings/. It may answer some of your questions!

Congrats on the Royal! That's the 5th Royal Flush we've seen in Jacks Or Better. (Deuces Wild has already seen 51 Royals!, but only 1 Natural Royal).

Interesting bet size, 40960. Looks like someone's been martingale betting...

We're happy to announce that we have re-enabled instant deposits in bitZino! Huge thanks to retep and Mike Hearn for their responsible disclosure and their help getting this resolved. We have tipped each of them 5 BTC to show our appreciation.
While almost all deposits to our site will now be eligible for instant credited, it's still possible that your deposit may have to wait for one confirmation. Basically, we are now doing a series of anti-fraud checks in order to ensure our risk of a double spend is minimal.
The absolute best way to ensure your deposit is instantly credited is by using a Green Address for your deposit (currently from either Mt. Gox of Deepbit). Green Address deposits will always be instantly credited.
Barring the use of a green address, you can help make sure your transaction is instantly credited by ensuring that all inputs for your transaction have at least one confirmation. If you're using bitcoin-qt it will do this for you automatically.
Thanks again to retep and Mike Hearn, as well as the entire bitcoin development team!

Received my W:L ration in email. Thanks for the bonus to make up for my horrible loss streak!

We have temporarily started requiring at least 1 confirmation on your deposits before you can put your bitcoins into play. This is due to the potential security vulnerability in bitcoin that was announced here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/serious-vulnerability-related-to-accepting-zero-confirmation-transactions-135985.
As part of this change, we also are accepting instant deposits from known green addresses. The only operational green addresses that we could find were from Mt. Gox and Deepbit. If you operate a service that has green address functionality, or if you know of one, please let us know so we can add it to the list of known green addresses.
I'm looking forward to finding out more information about this vulnerability, so that we can go back to providing instant deposits.

We definitely do have some players betting the maximum in all our games. While the majority of players are indeed betting small amounts, the majority of wager volume is coming from players that bet more than 1 BTC per hand.
I can definitely say the cards play different at different times of the day
Sorry that you lost
I can tell you that it would be computationally impossible for us to change the outcome of the cards based on the time of day, due to the nature of how we deal the cards in a provably fair manner.Edit: Is it possible to see my win:loss ratio?
Send us an email to [email protected], and we'd be happy to provide that info to you!

Really, you can? How exactly do the cards play differently and what sample size are you talking about? ie how many days, how many hands, what hands, what times of day, etc?Variance can be

Lost $100 playing blackjack 
My highest bet was 2500 chips, but I lost 4-Q-9 to J-9
Second highest was about 1800-2000 - lost K-5-3 to Q-10
Highest win was 950 - K-J to Bust
I did win a bunch of 300's, and some 600's. I usually never went above 150 though.
I can definitely say the cards play different at different times of the day
My last buy-in was $25 - first two hands house got a blackjack, and I got two blackjacks, which were tied with BJ's from the house
The houses ratio of Ace/Q/K/J/10 was around 4:1 for the card the face-up card
All in all, GG BitZino. I might be back sometime to play some more Blackjack.

Congrats! I just added a line below your entry on betwithbtc.com that links to that page. Very impressive.
Awesome, thanks
I like your site!Very nice. Thanks for publishing that.
Sure thing! I'm glad to share
Wow, that's pretty amazing for 7 months of being open. I didn't realize you guys got so much action.
Yeah, I think gambling is the next great growth sector for bitcoin. I really do hope our prediction of "at least one 'traditional' online casino is going to wake up to the obvious benefits of bitcoin, and start accepting bitcoin in 2013" comes true. This would be huge for bitcoin as it would introduce a very large new section of the population to the amazing properties of bitcoin.
Wow, really nice! You can clearly see how the hands played increased after roulette was introduced to the site but it's becoming a bit less popular and blackjack seems to be the most popular game now..
Yeah, I was surprised how incredibly Roulette took off when if first launched. But, it does seem that Roulette popularity is more volatile. Whereas, Blackjack has been more stable, and steadily growing in popularity.
Congrats,impressive numbers and statistic.
Thanks!

In 2012, our players made 3.2 million wagers for real bitcoins on bitZino, an average of 1 wager every 5.5 seconds.

We just released an article outlining some of our numbers from 2012, which I'm sure people on this forum will find interesting
Very nice. Thanks for publishing that.
