While attempting to lose the 1 BTC you recently added to my account, I noticed that the roulette wheel shows a "Win: 400" when I win 400, but doesn't show a corresponding "Lose:" message when I lose. Also, the "Win:" message disappears as soon as I start placing bets for the next spin.
These are both things you recently addressed for the craps game. Perhaps making roulette behave the same as craps would be good.
Thanks for reminding me about this! We had meant to update Roulette along with Craps when you originally suggested this change, but it got lost in the shuffle of all the changes that were going on at the time. I've went ahead and updated Roulette so it has a more informative status message.
I also noticed another inconsistency between the games. In craps and roulette, my balance goes down before I start the game, but in blackjack it only goes down when I start the game. It may be that there's no good way of getting the games to 'feel' similar in that respect, since in blackjack we don't place bets on the table before dealing, unlike in craps and roulette, but I thought maybe it's something you hadn't considered, and might have a solution for.
Hm, I hadn't really considered this. I'm not sure if there is a perfect solution though, because as you mention, the games do have some fundamental differences.
One solution would be in Blackjack to reduce the user's balance as they type different numbers into the Bet box. I don't love this solution though, because it doesn't adhere to what a user would expect in this game. I would hate to reduce the usability of one game just to get consistency between games.
Another solution is in Craps and Roulette to only reduce the actual balance when the user clicks the bet button. But, likewise, I think this may be confusing to users in these games.
So, I think I'll leave it as-is for now. But, thanks for bringing this up, because it is an angle that we should consider when developing future games.
Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate your attention to all the little things! These type of improvements add up to a much better overall experience for our users.
I also fixed the colon issue on our user page.
