Only thing that bugs me is, the game's operator should make it provably fair, to prevent them to tamper with outcomes, shall they be malicious and cheat if their game gains traction.
I am not saying they are malicious and that they will cheat ! I am just saying, why leave that possibility open ?
Thanks for your thoughts. We looked at a couple of ways of doing this. If the winning slot is chosen at start, we would know the slot to choose. If the winning slot is chosen at the end we could favor some users over other users.
We did not like the idea of predetermining a winner and storing this information. Currently, the site determines the winner as a random number once all slots are taken.
Provably fair is VERY important if you are bidding against the house. We feel that the house advantage built into each blink and the 1% transaction fee is good enough to run the service. The house wins with every blink and every deposit or withdrawal. No need to mess with the balance of wins.
Unlike other websites, we need users to drive the lottery process on the website. When a user wins, they will hopefully go on to blink several more times and engage more users. We want our users to blink as much as possible and have fun
Having said that, we may change this methodology in the future if it proves to be a hurdle.
Its not just about the house, you can easily create your own account, go into one of the games and make yourself win in code.
