The future of gambling? Hamster-powered marble races come to Ethereum

Quote

Mia the djungarian 'gamble hamster' will power high-stakes marble races with her trusty hamster wheel.

After just over two years of development, on Sunday a new form of gambling will be released to the Ethereum world on mainnet: hamster-powered marble races.

Powered by Mia, a female djungarian or “winter white dwarf” hamster and her trusty hamster wheel, the project, dubbed “Mia & the Marbles,” is an automated marble-racing and gambling platform from a group of independent developers.

While the concept behind the project may seem… whimsical, in an interview with Cointelegraph the development team for ‘M&M’ revealed how carefully the racing platform has been thought out.

“We guarantee races that are provably fair, provably live and easily-verifiable,” the devs said. “We can guarantee that the races are taking place in real-time and are not pre-recorded. We do this with our provably live video stream that shows the first 8 bits of the current Ethereum blockhash physically on the race track with 8 movable pegs. A high peg stands for a 1, a low peg for a 0.”

Video about the game.

Please share your thoughts, it's a new game that we might be playing in the future and enjoying it.

This game is the most fair game that I have ever known because the possibilities are almost equal and the factors that only gives an advantage to one marble is the placement. This game also gives us a live marble race so we can see who really wins. This kind of games is what we need to spread because it has a lot of thrill and very entertaining.

Looks fun, the game is straight forward. Although i don't exactly get why the hamster when it can run fully automated. Their gameplay looks easy but system really is complicated as it checks the Eth first 8bit block that can be exploited and know which peg is gonna move. Great game overall very creative in a gambling seems copy paste.

Copy paste but not fully copied paste, they are bringing it to the blockchain world, that means they want to make this game popular and hope that we will like it, it's a new game and we don't know if gamblers will embrace it because everyone wants a simple game and not a complicated one, but new ideas are always welcome.

Trying and mastering how to play this new game, I don’t think there are many rules to memorize, so in a short time players can master it,
especially if they can win it. However, I am not sure if this new game will be popular such as Poker, BlackJack, Baccarat, Domino QQ,
Slots and many more popular games. But I admit every time there is a new game, it will be curious for some players. That’s because we’re bored with old games.
We can also try our luck in a new game. Who knows this game isn’t as difficult as we imagined.

This is like a racing game where you bet on the car's color, in this you are betting on the is it marble? I guess games in real-world is really transforming into digital games, if you are familiar with the arcades in the mall, they are the same betting on a ball or animal-like, and given the tokens or coins to the winner, this is very interesting

Hi all!
Mia from "Mia & the Marbles" here.

I've been notified by one of your members that this thread exists here.
Really amazing to read all the feedback and questions you have!
I think it would be best if I start an official thread in this forum and try answer questions an provide infos there, so that future visitors can profit from it too.

Which subforum would be the best place to post this in?

Maybe one of the more experienced forum users could point me to the right spot.
I've read the rules and it looks like altcoin services are not allowed in the main gambling forum. And its not clear to me if you consider Ethereum an altcoin or not...
Our official go-live post in the "Gambling > Game & Rounds" subforum didn't get much attention, maybe that was not the best place:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5295092

Just to address the most important questions in the mean time:

- We are already live! Visit https://mia.bet to see everything. The live stream will start each day at 5 PM GMT and is online for 12hours. Bets can be placed anytime in between races.

- To understand the game, watch our "How-to" video on the website, or directly on youtube: https://youtu.be/4ZWkjeaMIEc
We also have FAQ section on the website, which should answer many questions and will get improved over time.

Cheers to all of you!
Mia

original idea, this is a very funny way to gamble but in my opinion very dangerous.
there is literally no chance to predict any run... game itself its very fast and people could lose money in a couple of seconds...
the game ok is "probably fair" game, but has some "home made" aspect that left a bit skeptic....

I never heard about this game but it seems to look interested and different from other games. By reading the article I assume that this game doesn't exist and soon will be available for the future gambler. I did some research to find the game but no one talk about it nor the projects. All we can do wait and let the developer do their job for us

I don't really know these game but it seems that the format of the game really looks like cricket game which is not the one, if assume is a game we know I think we won't have gazing to know it, from my views its obvious that i don't have any ideas concerning the game except someone who knows it better will explain to my understanding, I know very well that many people are not well acclimatize with game even the pictures, and i know that its obvious that we have different varieties of sports game and we can only be aware to the one we grow up with or the one we play.

Cricket game? No its not. This is a type of game which is ran by a hamster with some mix of those eth hashes that do connect out to the obstacles.
Just like on what other users said that ive been wondering on why some people doesnt recognize this even the video do shows on what it is all about?
Its been clearly said and demonstrated on how it works and how those marbles do go to that final spot and take rankings.
You do just need to bet and wait on whats the outcome on what color of marble will able to take first as simple as that.
Theres no need for some awareness or explanation because its just really easy to understand.

OK but the structure of the game really similar to cricket game, I know is easy to understand for someone that have the basic knowledge of it, because its very obvious that what we don't know even though watched it hundred times we can't understand everything about it, so therefore some people will likely need a concrete information concerning it in order to master it, I use my self as a case study, I don't know the game and I never come in contact with it.

Another interesting game which I think that gamblers are eager to try this.
A lot of games using marble but this thing is made so simple and only our luck helps for us to win. But I'd never saw those games played online, only I saw this to local activities.

It was brought into the blockchain and this is the first gambling site to launch this kind of game, so it's very important to know how people would react on this, will it be a success or a big failure, let's see.

I've re read the article https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-future-of-gambling-hamster-powered-marble-races-come-to-ethereum
it seems like it's not stated when it will be launch, just a sneak peek maybe.

Well, people says it was interesting but I'm not sure if that hits since it was a pure-base luck game. That is somewhat different when you can maximize your skills and knowledge than waiting for our luck to come. Easy game, easy to lose also.

I just checked the video out and honestly all my troubles regarding animal rights and such, all went away, as well as my questions regarding the provability of the game. I'd say it's... Interesting and quite weird as we are beginning to trust a hamster more than our fellow people. Nonetheless this is an innovative concept, and would love to see this project succeed in the future.

I often see some videos of this where the people are arranging their own track of obstacles and take a video of it. I was actually interested in the game knowing that it will be provably fair and will run on the Ethereum Blockchain. The only thing I am concerned with si the long-term excitement that the players could get when playing this game. The obstacle should always change as it will be boring if they can only see the same tracks over and over again. They can also think of other ideas aside from marbles to make gambling game.

It just wasn't clear from the video how the game itself will run as I was confused whether it will be a live video like the video posted, or an animated game.

Exactly, gamblers would want a new flavor to spice up their game every now and then, and it's the reason why this game is blowing up in this forum. As the project progresses and its funding increased, we hope to see different racetracks powered by different hamsters with a live feed on the hamsters too cause they are cute.

Hamsters has long been explored with the use of these mazes and tracks. But it is my first time to see them to be used in the gambling platform. But I am wondering, even if this game is live, is there a bit of delay in broadcasting it? As I have seen, they have 20% house edge here, though 50% will be used for the next seed round. That's high though. I hope someone from the team knows that they are being discussed here in the forum.

I was curious based on the video how it was a blockchain secured racetrack? Well this is a new type of game which is really interesting but there's a lot of marbles to choose from I really think this would not be an easy game.

I will try and learn this game even though it doesn't look easy as it appears. As always, all board games have a similar pattern to play them but I still new to this, will put effort to learn it. All things are not easy but with some try and effort, we can understand it.

Does it really needed to be learned?

If you do have some time on checking out the video then you would say that the thing you are saying isn't connected.Theres no pattern
and its clear that you are just shitposting dude.

Even with your common sense you can understand on how things go and happening.

If you are keen to learn things out about to this types of gambling then putting extra time and efforts will help you to advance, since this game is new it will be tough for now but in times that you are playing it, chances of understanding the concepts and forming strategies are very possible.

It's your willingness to learn and the passion to have an extra edge start with your dedication
and your patience, it keeps your skills improved when you play.

it is live video, if you check their site right now, there is a live feed and it will tell you when the race will start.
and if you are concerned bout the obstacles, i guess for now you will see the same tracks over and over again. but if the team will receive suggestions from their players, they will create a new one. but right now, lets see if they will attract some bettors here.
and hopefully, they will find this forum and create their official thread here. it is better if they have official rep here so users can easily reach out to them
