I visited this site recently, haven't been in a while. Very reliable site, with small selection of games. I would've thought they'd have a bit more variety in games by now though.

They add games when they're ready and seem to take a lot of care to make them pretty much feature-complete and smooth on launch.

As it should be.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone!

I kinda like the slots, but I'd have hoped for even faster animations when my profile is set up
for "fastest/off". Sometimes I play it on a slightly aged Atom-powered netbook, and the reels
seem to roll forever. any chance to make "fastest/off" really just show the final reel-positions?

PS: I know, that the reels spin while waiting for the lucky number, but even after the
first reel has stopped, it often still takes much too long for the other reels to stop as well.

Thanks for telling us about this! We have updated our slots animation so that the fastest/off setting should be much faster. We've changed the behavior so that it will still do some animations while waiting for a response from the server, but as soon as possible it will just show the results. Hopefully this will help with performance on your computer!

This is why I love the "client seed" - you can make hands like this happen:

Heh, nice! It is cool to know that your specific client seed completely determined this crazy hand. Any slight change, and you would have had a completely different hand.

One tiny issue I had was the buttons. I feel like Hit and Stand should be exactly next to each other, they should be a bit smaller and have some space in between. A few times I tried to stand, but I'd hit. Or I'd wanna hit but I'd stand. It's my fault for playing too fast and not paying attention to that but it's still easily avoidable Tongue

.

Hm, I'm not sure if adding spaces between the buttons would completely remove the problem of mis-clicks. Maybe keyboard shortcuts would help you avoid mis-clicks? We are still working on that!

I love doubles and splits as all of a sudden, you're playing for way higher stakes than you thought. This hand, I got to split 3 times, and then double 2 out of the 4 hands. Results were mixed:

Since I saw you are online, I am curious to know if you know the answer to this question:
What is the % chance of winning if you eliminate blackjack like being dealt AJ is just simply 21. And excluding blackjack payout of 3:2, what is the Expected return or house edge? Always wondered this since right away you know you lose some value when you are not dealt a blackjack.

Depending on the other rules and whether the player makes the appropriate adjustments to Basic Strategy, it adds about 2.27% to the house edge.

You can see the effects of many rule variations here:

I can't say for sure, but I would guess it would add a few percentage points to the house edge.

On OS X using Safari, autoplay on the slots shoots CPU usage from 5% to hovering around 60%, is this normal? As soon as I stop autoplay, CPU usage drops back down though.

This is expected behavior. Animations typically drive up the CPU usage. As long as it's not too much CPU, and as long as it goes back down when then animations stop, then everything's fine.

but if you can adjust the numbers, well we have a whole different ballgame.

And fortunately, BitZino is "provably fair" by providing a hash of every deck before each play so that it can later be determined that the numbers were not "adjusted".

- http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/08/31/bitzino-and-the-dawn-of-provably-fair-casino-gaming/

That is a feature you don't get in Vegas (yet), and not a feature provided even with all bitcoin-related online gambling. But with bitZino (and other "provably fair" gaming services), with every hand is the hash which will match the secret given after each play to ensure the sequence of cards in the deck was random (based on the seed provided by your browser) and did not change during play.

Thanks for your input Stephen.

Thanks for the input as well, Stephen! I'm also happy to answer any questions about our provably fair system.

i agree the numbers do not lie.

I would like to be on the lying numbers side.

None the less you drew to 21 11 out of 50 hands is kind of crazy. over 20%?

I like your site. But just from just what you posted playing good strategy you guys still have a huge edge. Good luck

From what was just posted we can't tell anything. 50 hands is quite simply not enough upon which to draw any conclusions.

On Just-Dice about a week ago one guy hit two separate runs of 21 losing rolls in a row all within 7k rolls. The odds against this are enormous. But when you consider this was just 7000 of over 40 million rolls it makes sense. Someone is going to have horrible luck at some point, just like someone wins the lottery each week even though it's unlikely for any individual to do so.
