Luck would always be a decisive factor and if you do really be in concern about marble weights then for sure that each one of them should really be equally in weight so that in the time that they would be released

Indeed.
So, it may be good enough for people who are commonly big lucks Grin

But, if it is about the person who has small luck or no luck, this may be only for fun or not betting here.
Yeah, the marble must be the same and balance both the weights and also the surface.

About that hamster then for sure it would really be just acting out on rolling that wheel and not really be forced to do so.

Oh, I see and just remember about how Hamsters like rolling Grin

Marble racing would be interesting to try out ,and do such games have favorites too ? Anybody have a website I can place a few bets on and am not going with the favorite with this one. I know all have an equal chance ofwinning.

And you brought in hamsters to the races when I thought marbles were a marvel to watch, just how do you make such cute creatures to race?

You can try it here: https://mia.bet/play

Its not litterally that those hamsters would be the one on race and if you do just tend to check out that it is just mentioned about hamster powered which is indirectly
telling that they are just part on releasing off those marbles.

it is good to hear that you are managing to stay alive. but are you gonna add other alts in your payment method other than eth? i believe, some bettors would like to see other alts like TRX as they have pretty cheap transaction fee. or are you keeping this under ETH?
checking your past races, i didn't know that you have quite a good run this month. maybe because your thread in the forum is not very active.

Good to see you around here too.
We switched to polygon now (a side-chain of ethereum), which has quite low fees too, plus we actually sponsor the transaction fee of each bet now.
So the only fees that are incurred for the players are when buying assets on polygon or swapping to the WETH token we use.

We will look into adding bridges from other chains, so that players can easily swap their BTC or TRX to WETH on polygon.

Well, not that many players yet.
We just maintain this thread in the altcoin forum

This might be a new gambling that is quite interesting and entertaining.
However, it might give some influence and notes.
1. Lucky seems to be the most decisive factor, naked if there is certain settings on the ball or tool. But maybe this is difficult because of course other participants don't want to be cheated.
2. Shouldn't it be that the hamsters are forced to continue to move and run according to the conditions expected at that time? Means the epreed and the speed of the hamster is very affected?
I'm a prair that only sees this as one of the funny entertainment materials. But to put money there for betting, it looks like I haven't been interested yet.

Luck would always be a decisive factor and if you do really be in concern about marble weights then for sure that each one of them should really be equally in weight so that in the time that they would be released
on the track then they would just eventually fall down equally and due to gravity and those course blockage then it would really be affecting the outcome so everything would be in random.
About that hamster then for sure it would really be just acting out on rolling that wheel wheel and not really be forced to do so.

Haha, it is a brilliantly original idea and looks a lot more "provably fair" than most online casino games. As you say, it feels much more interesting than betting on some random slot game with cookie cutter graphics and sound effects, the hamster seems to love running on that wheel! I wonder if they'll have a few of these set ups running for when the hamster wants some downtime Grin

Glad you like it. We felt exactly the same about those games with hard to comprehend fairness and cheap graphics.

There's just one hamster, Mia. She rests whenever she wants to. Luckily hamsters are very active runners in nature, so that's not a big issue. On the contrary, this way the players can rest assured that the race start is controlled by the hamster, not by us.

The only slight flaw I see in the design is the marbles, they should be kept in view at all times (instead of being fed back underneath the track) and it would be nice if they can figure out a way to verify the weight of each one on screen - a heavier weighted marble could be abused as it would run down the course faster than any other.

We are working on solving these two issues with our redesigned race track.
Stay tuned Wink

They are so cute lol, feels like i'm watching my hamster playing in their aquarium Grin

whoever invented this game? i salute you and at least the Hamster was not being abused because this is the way they love to do.

not like in other gambling that uses animal that they are cruel and heartless.

I don't think that there's no abuse because I think that it can take on different forms and the hardest ones to identify are the subtle ones and pretentious ones. I think the abuse here is that they are using the hamster's activity as a way to make money via gambling but I think that it's negligible but still an abuse nonetheless, I don't do gambling that involves animals of any kind so I see this as an abuse of some sort.

Mia and marble's it just looks a bit funny and I haven't seen a game as this. I think I would bet on it for fun because even after watching the YouTube video provided the Mia and marble's looked too tiny that I was unable to comprehend how the game is been played. But the graphics looks enticing so I might play for fun toll I understand what the game is all about

Welcome back MiaAndTheMarbles!

When the site had closed down, the community thought that there is no really demand for this but this proves out that there's still someone who do interested into these kind of races

since you had came back and now on using other platform and its a good news about that free transaction fees. Using up WETH on bets is very a good choice.

Do you have plans on accepting other coins in the future?

Thanks for the warm welcome Cheesy

We wanted to have different coins from the beginning, but it turned out to be difficult
to replicate the security guarantees of our smart contract on ethereum to other blockchains.
That said, the ecosystem around ethereum has evolved a lot since our inception of the project and there are "bridges" from other blockchains directly to polygon now.
These bridges would be relatively easy for us to integrate, although they still would require the user to have a wallet on polygon and manually convert/swap the bridged coin to WETH in an extra step.
(the bridging and swapping would incur some transaction fees, but since on polygon everything is much cheaper, they would be very low compared to the current fees on ethereum/bitcoin)

What do you think, would such a bridged coin still qualify for "accepting other coins" and would players like to use that?
And what coins would you like to use?

The gambling concept that the devs used is novel indeed, but until they increase their payment channels, there will be a huge bottleneck from the people who do not have ETH on their wallet, or simply those who do not want to pay the horrendously high fees just to bet. I know it will be very hard to implement such a thing at a very small span of time, but if the project is this good, money shouldn't be a problem.

If they don't solve the problem, either other developers or people will step in to bridge the gab, I mean it's not like they have the full control on who's going to see the races and I mean people can pay to see it if it permits to be paid. Of course won't be a problem, look at how high the pot for this race is, I am sure they will be able to solve the problem.

Recent one? or this is the older pot before this game had stopped?

Yes, this is the most recent jackpot (or was, at the time of your writing. current one is 2.8 )

You mean because the tooltip still shows "ETH"? That's actually a good catch, we will fix that to read "WETH". Thanks for pointing out!

Well that is something new to me this is the first time I've seen it being used for gambling,
I mean I already watch some marble race or something like guessing which one would reach the end first,
But this is the first time that I've seen it being used for gambling and with a twist.
How about adding more obstacle powered by Mia and sad that it would be postponed due to high gas fee.
Well at least Mia could practice more hope to see more on it.
And how about a live weighing of the marbles before the race start so the bettors would have a peace of mind since it look's like some are bothered by it.

Yeah, thats the only factor i can see for this game on having some issues about being fair completely because marbles can really neither be a heavy one or a light one which
as mentioned already with some users that it should really be verified or can be seen out real-time so that at least everybody would really be that confident
that this race is actually fair and square.

I tried to visit the site and showed. The next race is postponed
The continuously high Ethereum gas fees cause betting fees and operation costs to skyrocket.

which is understandable.

They can opt for other networks like TRX or EOS, as the fees on these networks are relatively cheap than ETH. But maybe, they are also waiting for ETH developments. We don't know yet when will eth finally address the gas efficiency problem. While waiting for that, Mia team should think of adding other alts in their system other than ETH.

Try to check out on whats the build of it which is purely based on erc20.Dont know on how its been set-up but its understandable that they had suspend the operation for now because of such fee or gas problem.

Adding alts? Its a no brainer but that would really be giving out some complete overhaul which might really be taking some time for those adjustments.
