REVIEW
Introduction and Landing page: Going over to the
website, at first glance I saw
connect wallet, which means that this casino is a decentralized casino(web3 casino), you don't need email, password or KYC to play any of their games. What you need to get started on the casino is your wallet. The landing page is pretty fast in response with cool UI that is not eye disturbing, the colour blends well with any type of eyesight and from the first glance, the games they currently have are listed on the landing page.
They currently have about 6 active games in the casino as Lucky draw, coin flip, Slots, Range, Rockpaperscissors and Dice. The casino also has Live participation which means you can view live people(wallet addresses) that are playing, their profits and losses and the type of games they played including the amount they wagered and the multiplier. I was expecting to see sports games but it is coming soon as indicated on the website.
Wallet Setup and connect: Being a decentralized casino, you need a non-custodial wallet address that supports the Binance smart chain and Fatom chain because the casino support these two type of chains. You can use wallets like Trust Wallet and Metamask but I used Metamask since it was convenient on PC to connect directly to the Casino. I set up a Metamask wallet, did a backup for the seed phrase switched the chain to the BSC chain and connected to the Casino.
To enjoy the game, you need to have BNB or matic to cover the gas fee between these two chains and you also need the utility token of YoCa.sh to wager their games on the BSC chains because it is actually the utility token that drives the casino, so to play the games, you need to buy YCH tokens which is available on Pancakeswap exchange. I added my YCM to my wallet from the custom import tokens on the Metamask so that the token can be visible on the website.
The Tokens detail on BSC:
Name:
YCH
Custom smart contract:
0xf7f73f6697bAB84d9D3818fd14720B3b116be873
The token details can
be seen on the BSC explorer
I included that on my wallet and connected to the website and my bsc address and YCH balance were visible on the front page after successfully connecting.
Testing of the games: One of my objectives is to see how seamless and simple this casino was designed. The games have a similar
hint button that tells you a detail about the game you choose, the supported network, and the description of the game.
This basically tells you everything about each game when you click on them.
Game 1:
COIN FLIP Just like the traditional flipping of a coin with head and toe, this game gives you a 50% chance of winning when you flip the coin, the casino edge is 2%, so with the VRF(Verifiable Random Function) from chain link, it is a provable fair game. The game has two sides as usual as head and tail with a minimum requirement of 0.01 YCH to wager and with a multiplier to increase your wins.
To play the coin flip, you need to first approve the YCH spending cap before you can interact with the contract. I did approve my first transaction to be able to wager with the transaction hash below. And after that, I wager 100YCH with a 10X multiplier and in my first attempt, I made a profit of 188 YCH.

My profit from my Bets:
Game 2: SLOTSThe slot is basically like the normal slot gaming machine where you can spin and have some good outcomes, the casino edge is 2%, so with the VRF(Verifiable Random Function) from chain link, it is a provable fair game. I tested the slot and approved my first transaction to be able to interact with the contract. I wager 1000 YCH tokens with 10x multiplier and this gave the biggest whooping result. I made 90,000 YCH in profits on my first attempt.

My profit from my Bets:
After trying two games, My balance increased from 100,000 YCH to 190188 YCH and that is fair. I wanted to try more other games and repeat the games to see how fair they were but I was out of gas fees and the games I tested were just Coin Flip and Slots and I was satisfied with the result.
Merit of this casino over the traditional ones: This casino doesn't give away your privacy, it doesn't reveal your identity as you don't need an email or password. In addition, there is no KYC requirement and as you are betting, the profit and losses will be incurring in your wallet live, which means all the activities are live on the blockchain and not only on the casino.
Suggestion: I had a good experience in wagering transactions but I found out that the gas fees on BSC are high, you need like $1 to make execution with each game contract, perhaps Matic chain might be lesser but since BSC houses more investors and gaming activities, it will be nice if you work on the YCH price, more outreach about the utility so that gamblers wouldn't feel choke on the neck to use $1 on the fees. You can also provide VIP on the platform for token holders to encourage more buyers to use the token.
Listing the token to any tier One exchange is not a bad idea, it will improve liquidity around YCH and people who want to hold YCH.
