Good luck! Wink

You have to wait for just 1 confirmation Smiley .

It worked ok for me. I stupidly hit double down instead of stick when I had 20. Oh well :/

I have refunded who wrote to me, I think the code needs some refactoring.

Keep it real
This site is completely broken...

It made me hit repeatedly when I only clicked hit once, it made me stand after only taking one hit and it even changed the cards (both me and the dealer) twice after hitting/standing...

I only lost 1 btc but let this be a lesson to others...

Pretty much what I've been saying, the code is buggy as hell.

Thanks for your insight, I've amended the rules.

Anyway, please consider that this is not a casino, it's an experiment, and the rules I've chosen are fair, since dealing is simply a matter of popping a stack, without any calculations, unlike real casinos.

It's a programming experiment.
As I said I'm open to suggestions, but if you don't agree with the house rules (BTW, a lot of players already withdrew more than what they put into it), simply don't play Smiley .

Not aspiring to be Vegas, not starting a business, just trying to gain some experience having fun together with other members of the wonderful BitCoin community. Smiley .

Yeah it paid 2*bet, now it pays 1.5*bet, while an ordinary win rewards 2*bet. Draws return the bet to the player.

no you got it wrong again.

IF YOU DONT RETURN BET:

blackjack pays: 2.5*bet
ordinary win pays: 2*bet

IF YOU RETURN BET (which is what you should use in your calculations):

blackjack pays 1.5*bet + bet or 3:2
ordinary win pays bet + bet or 2:1


please learn about blackjack before implementing a blackjack casino...

HOLYSHIT!

I love blackjack, and i love self-regulated casinos. But dude, if i may make a suggestion, run it more like normal casinos do: 2-8 decks, and set a house stoploss. Here's an overview over some kinds of blackjacks, if you implement some of those kinds with strict rules i'm sure your business will skyrocket. Link: http://www.winthebet.com/typesofblackjack.php

Thank you for your link, I'm reading it eagerly Smiley .

Anyway, it uses 8 decks now.

LOL at you guys complaining blackjack pays 2:1 you realize that is in the players favor and reduces the house edge significantly right? But using 128 decks? WTF

my bad, i meant 1:1, ie bet of 5$ pays bet+5$ if you assume that you get your bet back. 2:1 if you dont get your bet back so 5$ bet, get 10$.

real blackjack tables pay 3:2 in the sense that 10$ bet pays 15+ plus 10$ bet.

BTW, I know it's a new game, there will be bugs.  As long as the money part gets taken care of (as I see from this thread that it has) then that's fine.

Thank you for your comprehension Smiley .
Withdrawals and deposits are automatic now.

Suggestion:
Your header image is too big.  It pushes the gameplay down below the fold, so after each deal I have to scroll down to see what my cards are.  The gameplay should be above the fold.

Thanks, logo resized.

I'm adding your winnings to the table in the first post Smiley .

I played 2 hands and won them both.  I'd like to keep playing but it took forever for the block to come for me to get into the game (not your fault at all - we went approx an hour with no new block) and now I need to go to bed.

1st hand, won 0.01
2nd hand: getting late, have to go, I bet 0.25.  I pull a 7 and a 4.  Double down: WIN!

I'll play again tomorrow.

why not implement standard casino blackjack rules?

dealer hits soft 17

insurance pays 2:1

blackjack pays 3:2

double down first hand only, any hand

split up to 4 times.



and 128 decks is insane...

There is always that possibly that people can maybe count cards? Unless your site is using multiple decks.

For each game, the system uses 128 now 8! decks.

this is pretty crappy. tons of bugs =\

and why the hell does blackjack pay 2:1

I know there are still some bugs.
When you see error 500, something went wrong when dealing. It's rare, but it happens. Our coder is working on this. Thanks for your patience Smiley .

About the blackjack, how much you'd like it to pay out? Smiley
It's configurable, I'm open to suggestions...

Right now we have almost 20 users, 5 have deposited (SilverLeaf, Morti, MasonIII, blabla123, tysat), 4 (SilverLeaf, Morti, MasonIII, tysat) have withdrawn more than the amount they deposited Smiley .

There is something seriously wrong with your code.  I played two games, each at a bet of 0.01 (started with 0.5) and now my balance shows at 0.33.

I actually had a blackjack the first hand, and my balance showed lower than when I started.

The second game I started with a queen/6 and selected hit... then ended up with a completely different hand.  Please refund my original 0.5 deposit.
I see you have withdrawn 0.51:

After a lot of hands, somewhere around 100s? The completely different hand problem occured once, but it happened to me too. As it was on a .01 bet, i just shrugged it off and ignored it.  As for the balance thing, it happened to me too, but when i click home and relogin, the correct balance shows.  The balance that is off for some reason loses track of your win/losses after awhile, but the overall balance still shows correct for me.

I deposited 0.85, then it said my balance is 0.06. I clicked New Game with 0.01. Nothing happened. Clicked again. Nothing. Checked back, balance is 0.04. Now it says my balance is 0.23 and seems to be steadily increasing in a weird way.

I'm confused. Can I have my 0.85 back please?

It says 0 now.

Now it's -0.07. I think the site might be broken. Tongue
