More people should play this, it's actually really fun. The soldiers that you start off with only give 1000 satoshi at first, but if you take advantage of the promotional soldiers you can get 2mBTC/soldier and there's probably like 7 or 8 of those special ones scattered through the game. I collected from those, but other people need to collect too before I can collect again. So PLAY THIS GAME AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE BITCOIN!!!!!

The statues give out anywhere from 0.00001 Bitcoin all the way up to 5 Bitcoins.

The chance that they give out 5 Bitcoins is extremely rare though but still possible.

The players on Dragon's Tale are incredibly helpful and generous and make sure everyone has a good time and a happy enviroment.

Alot of people smoke Cigars that you get whiffs off of and they do too but the cigar goes both ways so it both gives whiffs to the smoker and the people around the smoker can get Whiffs of the Cigar too all whiffs are worth a random amount of Bitcoin and there's differently priced Cigars.

There's also Drinks that when you drink them there's a chance that there's Bitcoin on the bottom of the drink.

You can also buy Drinks for other people and send Bitcoins to other users inside Dragon's Tale.

You deposit Bitcoins directly to your Dragon's Tale Bitcoin Address and if you choose not to Deposit you can withdrawal a minimum of 0.001 Bitcoin. Fractional amounts don't work though it has to be 0.001-0.009 then 0.01-0.9 etc. You can not send 10-90 kSAT payments ie 0.0001-0.0009.

There are alot of players who used the money they received from Soldier statues (Soldier Statues offer you gifts but every time you receive a gift from a soldier 15 seconds is added permanently onto the time between when you can ask for soldier gifts) to make a small fortune.

Is this worth playing if you do not gamble? Or is it a casino first  ?    

No I think you are just a noob 

Great fun been playing it recently good helpful community easier to gather Bitcoins then a faucet but learning curve is tough. If you have some time to kill this is more fun then a typical casino.

Dragon's Tale is great, they recently updated so now you can play games with just one ksatoshi! Which you can get quite a few of by just running around and talking to soldiers. It takes a little bit to get the hang of but it's really a pretty great game. Added a new game or two as well since the last posting, if I'm not mistaken.

I would play if I decide to gamble again XD
I played for a couple hours.
I saw barely any other players , somehow all free statues btc were empty.
I inputted some btc and lost all of it

That 5% edge goes down quickly as you level. And about half of the edge, currently, goes to those in your mentor chain, not to the house.

Factor in skill games and various in-game giveaways and contests, and the true house edge is around 2%.

Teppy

5% house edge is a little too much

This is a great idea as well, and it's how I got my mentor (someone went through a couple hours teaching things like the seed planting, how to determine, generally, if it's going to be profitable or not and stuff). I had no issue taking them on as a mentor as a result!

It's also worth factoring in the purchase of an account and whether or not your mentor shares "treasure." Highly-used accounts are less ev-, and accounts with mentorship over other active users are practically a revenue stream. Theoretically, you could simply compile statistics on various games along with strategies to "sell" to users in exchange for them selecting you as their mentor. It's theoretically possible, then, to "work" in Dragon's Tale for service fees.

You'd probably need to be on the spectrum to actually compile all the relevant data, though, heh. -Or a income-less kid with a ton of free time and hands-off parents.

As someone who has played there a bit, what Teppy said is spot on. It's a casino. "The house wins." If they don't win from you, they win from someone else. So essentially either you're going to be losing money, or someone else is.

So "hard to make BTC?" That depends. Are you lucky? Nobody knows until you play. Much like hitting up a slot machine and either losing $100 or making $500,000. The only way to know is after the fact.

Without depositing? Yes, it's very hard to make significant amounts. (It's been done though.)

If you deposit? It's a casino - you'll lose a little bit more often than you win. but plenty of people have had huge wins. Several 10+ BTC wins in the last week in fact.

Teppy

Is this hard to make btc from this?

OK, thanks for the explanation. As I read "jackpot" I thought that maybe the pot increased as more bets were placed and no prize was given, and higher than 100% would mean positive expected value from that point.

It seems like there isn't much to do when you start playing, unless you deposit money.

"In 464 Runs, 50 Hits for a 119.16% Return"

This means that the monkey has been released from his cage 464 times (# of games played), and of those, 50 landed on that particular square, and if you had placed an equal bet on the square each of those 464 times, your return would be 119.16% of those bets. (You would have made money.)

The returns include the community squares where you get a prize regardless of where you bet.

This is a historical return - it doesn't mean the monkey will continue landing there as often in the future (the monkey moves randomly.)

Teppy

It simply means the return that has actually happened since the last reset of the stats.  Monkeys are IIRC the worst rate of return of any game, not that it's by much, being slightly under 95%.  The rate of return in the stats is simply past history.  Especially for the nosebleed payouts 100x+, a few fluke events can skew the results greatly.

The "real" expected value is somewhat below 95%.

My basic advice?  Don't play monkeys.  They're evil.

Should only be played for the purpose of leveling up, or if you don't mind degenning away your money on a losing luck game.

What does the "return" stat mean in the monkey roulette mean? Expected return (being 100% break even)?

A+ organization

Dragon's Tale is going strong - there are 64 players online as I write this. Stakes are anywhere from "kSAT" (1000 Satoshis) per bet to 10+ BTC per bet, and we still give away free Bitcoins to get comfortable with the game.

Dragon's Tale certainly has the greatest concentration of Bitcoin enthusiasts of any virtual world - it's a great place to hang out with fellow Bitcoiners.
