(Doog & Deb were also a great help in the early testing of the game. Any issues with the site are obviously my own fault however!)

Deb contributed a bunch of trivia questions too. I know, because earlier when I was playing it asked me a question I had no idea about, and said "question written by Deb" at the bottom. lol. I got it wrong. Sad

Yeah Deb wrote a bunch of the best questions. Perfectly tailored to their difficulty level and also fun and sometimes kooky. I should note that people who submit trivia are rewarded with 1000 gold dragons (1mbtc) every time any of their submitted questions is accepted into the pool of trivia. Basically I've accepted every question - so long as they're interesting and understandable I want to encourage more trivia creation. Thanks to Deb for being such a great tester and user of that and other features.

I love game of thrones. lol.. I'll have to check this one out. I like the house banners. It would be cool to tie in all the sayings for the families too... like "winter is coming" and all that. And more dragons... definitely more dragons!

There are trivial questions that pop up when you win, and your win involved your house banner. Some of them ask about the sayings. I think one of the questions is "what is the (saying) for the house of Stark"... if you get it right, you win more than if you get it wrong, but if you get it wrong you still win something.

I just bet 1000, hit two triples in a row, including one set of my own house banners. I got the question right, and so won 4500, for a profit of 3500. My win didn't show up in the chat, although a couple of my smaller wins did.

Thanks Doog, for the link and explanation.

Hi friends, I hope you're enjoying Game of Thrones season 5 (I have been!). If you're not aware of it, please give House of Chance a try. It's the first bitcoin gaming site that incorporates both luck and knowledge - the more you know about Game of Thrones the better your odds. It's even possible to reduce the house edge to less than zero with knowledgeable play!

Hi guys, the House of Chance is currently under maintenance to upgrade the server. Hopefully should be back by tomorrow. All deposits are safe. Will report back when the site is back again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Service is back! Host came through with new server faster than I expected. It may take some time for DNS propagation and for the bitcoin daemon to catchup, but the game is back!

Still don't understand this game and get confused just by going to the site...

Sorry about that. If there's anything in particular confusing you, please let me know I'm happy to explain. Also the FAQ has some explanations of a few things I thought might not be immediately obvious to players:

Sorry, I think the mistake is on my part. I thought I got a double. ie type 2.
But when I verified I got type 0.

No, I think you're right.

I just bet 10k with a balance of 12k. My spin came up as a double, but when I went to respin (which should be free) it told me I didn't have enough in my balance.

Now I expect it had already decided that I had lost, but it should still let me make my 2nd and possibly 3rd spins and let me see the loss happen.

I'll stop playing, so the spin I'm talking about was the last one on the 'dooglus' account.

Doog and Watoshi, I found the bug you both pointed out. It was quite small and has been fixed. The bug did not affect your payouts, but did show a confusing message about your balance not being high enough to make the next bet in the sequence of doubles that you were playing.

As thanks for helping me find this bug I have gifted you both 1000 gold Dragons which you're free to play with or to withdraw as you wish. Thanks to both of you.

* As an additional update, for folks who've played at the House of Chance before, please do a CTRL-F5 when you revisit the site. Some of the javascript has been updated so that the game will adjust its zoom level to the size of you screen (previously for small monitors it was cutting off some of the imagery).

* A second update is that player are now able to gift each other gold Dragons (which are directly convertible to bitcoins):

Sure thing, it's amazing. Cheesy

I was thinking about using it to introduce bitcoin to my sister who's in love with Game of Thrones.

That would be so amazing, thank you! If anyone else has advice on the best way I can market to fans of Game of Thrones, I would love to hear from you. I think we have a great chance to reach out to other non technical people by building stuff for them that's exciting to use for other reasons than the one which is important to all of us (that bitcoin is awesome

But I'm not very knowlegeable about marketing so any help is appreciated.

Really sorry about that byteSized. The site was optimized for larger screens, which is definitely not fun for folks with smaller ones, or with mobile devices. This is something I'm going to have to fix. As a short term fix, you can press CTRL and - (minus character) at the same time in chrome to zoom out, which should allow you to see more of the screen.

See: https://houseofchance.net/faq#a20

A longer term fix will be to make the site more "responsive" and adapt it's look and feel based on the size of the screen. Right now everything is placed in a very particular way so that it looks the way it does. It needs to automatically customize itself. Would love advice from people here who are UI experts.

Thanks so much for checking out the site
