Topic: IDEA - new concept for strategy game - page 2. (Read 321 times)

I have seen other recet threads that do have the same concept asking on a lottery game that do guess out on what would be the prize pool amount until the timer ends.
This one is no different yet all players would target out or trying to get the last spot for them to win.As said by most people here this isnt new
nor an effective way or idea on getting players or attraction to this community.

It is not a new idea, it is a classic penny auction type of games.

I saw several games based only on this idea, but some Tron DApps have this type of game as an additional game for Tokens burning with real wins, e. g. Fightron DApp. 

I remember there was an ICO with a very similar idea and a pretty cool design.

I've forgotten its name now, but it basically had a jackpot system where if nobody bids higher than the previous amount within a certain deadline, the last bet would win the entire pot.

I'll search for it now and update this when I find it.

I don't have links to their websites right now but most of them were built using Ethereum smart contracts.
Fomo3D had a similar concept where players buy keys and each buy extends the game session by x seconds. The last buyers wins the jackpot.

Thanks for your comment and the previous ones. I would like to know about these other websites that have similar or the same concept of game.

About the time period, that's why I suggest some way that it depends also on the player's choices. Perhaps players can choose to extend or reduce the time remaining until the end of the round. Or perhaps there is a 60 seconds expiring time from last bet. So, if one bet stays for 60 seconds without any other player placing a bet, it wins.

Also, I am thinking that to open the game to everybody, not only big whales, there could be the option of "pool bets" where many players put together small amounts on the same bet and then they share the jackpot accordingly if they win.

I don't think this is an unique idea, there are already a lot of similar activities. To my.opinion such game, strategy or to call it whatever name can't attract users to put money into it, at least I wouldn't. Also, I don't think it has a potential for commercial success and that is important. Something more original and creative could maybe have some chances, this is not the case.

First, Welcome to Bitcointalk gambling community.
This is not a new one. I've seen a lot of these kinds of concepts already. It's just that I forget the specific websites that have the same strategy game. Maybe because I wasn't really interested and I am not a big whale myself. But I think the duration is not a bad idea. It's just that, there is a loophole from the end of the strategy-game provider as they can actually manipulate it. As a suggestion, I guess the period of time is not really the best thing. It is better to make it short, and quick. The players will place their bets within 10-15 seconds. And then boom, the results will show. Nevertheless, more trust, less risk in manipulation.

I found the idea interesting. Sometimes people say: "this is not going to work". But I think it all depends on the genius of who is behind the idea. Just remember what happened to the tablets.
Steve Jobs took a stage at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, an event space in the city of San Francisco, California to present the next step in a successful saga that began with the iPod, went through the iPhone to finally reach the iPad , on January 27 of that year, 2010.
Tablets were not exactly a novelty. The idea has been around for a long time, and some products of this type have been on the market since the 1990s. At the turn of the millennium, Microsoft even coined the term “Tablet PC” to designate computers in portable format, normally thought to be used with a stylus.
Even though it existed for more than a decade, the format was never a commercial success. Companies have always failed to create a product that is attractive to the end consumer and that justifies its price. Only Apple was able to understand what the public wanted for a tablet format, also relying a little on the famous “reality distortion magic” that only Steve Jobs was able to use.

So, its just like some Fomo3d game once again but now does have the time limit of 24 hours? There were already games on the said new concept you say
but actually end up on becoming trash yet this one is just really good for those whales out there that do have the money to put before the time runs out
or most people will target out that last minute.Its better to find or consider on creating a new game excluding this one.

Hi everybody!

I have an idea for a Bitcoin strategy game that I want to share with the community.

The idea could be called "biggest whale wins". Let's say there is a pot, any user can place a bet of any amount that goes to the pot. The only condition is that each bet must be bigger than the previous one. There is a countdown of let's say 24 hours. When the time expires, the biggest bet wins the entire pot. It is very simple, but it can be exciting, how much will you risk to win the pot, how big the pot can be?
To improve the game, we can add the option of a random period of time, so you don't know when the current round is going to end. Or also the option that the time period increases or decreases in each new bet, depending on some factor such as the difference in the bet amount from the previous one.

Example of a game's round:

player 1 places a bet of 0.001 BTC, pot = 0.001 BTC
player 2 places a bet of 0.005 BTC, pot = 0.006 BTC
player 3 places a bet of 0.006 BTC, pot = 0.012 BTC
player 4 places a bet of 0.01 BTC, pot = 0.022 BTC
player 2 places a new bet of 0.02 BTC, pot = 0.042 BTC
player 5 places a bet of 0.025 BTC, pot = 0.067 BTC
player 1 places a new bet of 0.1 BTC, pot = 0.167 BTC
player 6 places a bet of 0.15 BTC, pot = 0.317 BTC
player 2 place a bet of 0.2 BTC, pot = 0.517 BTC
round ends, placer 2 wins 0.517 BTC

What do you think? Since many people play casinos at other random games, would you like to play a game more focused on strategy? What improvements or variations can be added?
