Well, you mean that it is a video tutorial? I think if I am not mistaken all gambling platforms had on that kind of feature on their sites a video tutorial. But that is not necessary, especially in dice feature gambling site. Because it is very common and easy to understand even if you are beginners in the gambling industry. Indeed, glad to know that Mintdice now has another feature game. I am excited about what is the next feature marked coming soon.

Absolutely I agree. There are dozens of gambling, slots and lottery. But sometimes it is impossible to know what is played and how. I think the videos could have been very useful. So people would learn when to win, when to lose.

I think lottery speaks for itself and lottery is ... well if its the lottery we all know about than we know that too. But, I am not sure if I know what pyramid is and what castle royale is, the name castle royale speaks to me like some sort of fortnite/pubg or whatever the new one of those is, those are called battle royale, so maybe its a game where people come join in and the last one standing wins but in gambling what kind of game provides such feature?

Pyramid sounds like a plinko game in a different version. I am making all these up btw, we have no clue what the games will be like, even tho there are times until those new games, could you please talk about how they will be like? As in what sort of games they will be like? Or if you have any screenshots for test purposes so we can see how they are that would be awesome too.

And the biggest and most obvious reason is security.
They have to secure everything they add in two ways...
1) They have to protect their customers from loses caused by bugs in the code
2) And they have to protect themselves from loopholes which could potentially drain all their money overnight.

Businesses runs in their own timelines and what they set for themselves. Its good that clients are requesting for updates and more games but the fact that its not implemented does not mean the business is slow. There are several reasons which might led to it not being implemented yet and sometimes it could be in the pipeline without an estimated time frame. Wouldn't it be better to say in the next one year and achieve it in six months than promise three months and not get it done in five months. Yes, to ask for more means you are trusting the platform which is good but sometimes, they need to be allowed to grow with their current offerings of bringing the best to clients which they want to carve a niche for themselves rather than focusing of many without having optimum on nothing.

Withdrawals we have spent a lot of focus on and will continue to spend more focus on. At some point, we are trying to drop the withdrawal fees by another 50%, but don't expect them next week necessarily.

A more important point as Sara answered quite well, the big difference here is in house vs licensed games. We could have 100s of games adopted onto our platform effectively over night if we used licensed software. But we don't. And I'd highly suggest, even outside of MintDice, to never play on licensed gaming platforms and to only use platforms with in-house built games because those games will generally speaking be Provably Fair and often have much better house edges. Whereas licensed games virtually never, if not never, offer these features. There's plenty of in house built game providers of such things on BitcoinTalk, so select from the casinos that offer these.




Sure, I can tell you what the plans are broadly, but I can't tell you game specifics nor can I give you specific time lines (development is too sporadic and difficult).

Games:
Pyramid (Skill Game)
PowerMint Lottery (Casino Game)
Castle Royale (Skill Game)
Sports and E-Sports book (Skill Game)

In that order. I would expect the first two games to release before the end of 2019. Castle Royale ideally Q1 2020. Sportsbook ideally Q1 as well but less certain on that one.

Secondly, as I mentioned one before, all three games will be extremely different from one another. If you love one you may not like the others and if you hate one you can keep your eyes open for other offerings. Each, I think, are world's firsts in offerings (minus the sportsbook obviously). They are each built in house, from the ground up, using Provably Fair technology or other such things whenever possible.

Interactivity

We have a number of interactivity features planned to keep users more engaged. The most exciting and important one will be our rain program rollout. If things go well, you can expect to see this before the end of this month, but it could easily extend well past that. Keep your eyes out for other things, we'll probably post them on the forum as they are added in.

Mobile + Platform

At some point in under the next 6 months, MintDice's look and feel is going to completely change. It won't really even be recognizable relative to what you see today. The major purpose is to make the game experience much better and easier simultaneously for all of our games and to increase our platform's scalability.

At the exact same time that this is released, you can expect full mobile-web compatibility as well. We'll have a new web platform in sync with the above v2 platform release that will make everything extremely intuitive and easy for mobile users.

Others
There are constant security upgrades, quality of life features and other things that are continuously rolled out but not really worth mentioning. These include feature requests on BitcoinTalk that we include on each update that will build up to a better platform but also aren't really worthy of specific mentions.



I'll keep this in mind but I'm not entirely sure how to implement this. The other games, like slots, function very differently from dice in that respect. We may be able to include such a feature of sorts on the platform upgrade or include it on our tutorial cards for example.

We're certainly not trying to hide our house edges, since they are highly competitive in the general casino industry, but the best way to display this is certainly debatable.

Transparency makes a big role in any gambling sites but I don't think we need to know "WIN CHANCE or LOSS CHANCE cause it something could fuel some doubts trust problems especially when it always appears our losing chance is much higher than of our winning percentage. A question may rise up for Mintdice credibility as a matter of fact that they won't actually be giving discouragement to the gamblers because of that.

You can find information on the win chances of Dice in our FAQ here.

Hope this helps

I very much agree with you here. The transparency of the community/platform often transcends the number of games, as like the old proverb goes 'quality is better than quantity' and in my opinion this is unequivocally true to the gambling and gaming industry.

House edge is like a profit margin for typical businesses. It's not unique and can lead to a "price war." The other casinos can immediately react to lower their house edge as well, and MintDice will lose its edge (pun intended).

If we assume that the dice game is a saturated mainstream market, then new players entering the casino market would be better off to compete in the niche. Thus, unique games with acceptable house edge seem to be a better idea.

*Based on my analysis, it should not be taken seriously.

Why are you all so focused on number of games? Isn't it the most important to have 1 game with the lowest house edge (like dice - 1% house edge) on trustful casino with Provably Fair system and 0 scam accusation?

Casinos with huge number of games (especially those with unknown house edge) are for gamblers who does not like their money and will bet in game with 10% house edge only because it looks fancy:)

@MintDiceSara Is it possible to show on page odds in slots and rocked game (or house edge) - just like "WIN CHANCE" in dice? I don't like to play games with unknown odds.

12 months is a long time. Not for lightning and segwit, those can wait and I really don't care about those. But for the plans I wonder what you mean. If you mean extra games and such than waiting for a whole year for new stuff looks like a long time, is there more short term plans that we could learn about? I would love to learn about what the road map is like for mintdice.

I want to play some new games and I want to play it here if its possible for you guys. After all it would probably reflect the long term outcome of us staying here as well, if there is new games coming around the corner soon than we would wait for them but if there is no new thing going around for another 6 months maybe we would decide to check out other places until the new game comes.

If the plans are there then i guess we may have to wait for a while. I dunno what it takes to implement support for the Bech32 address format but i feel it's probably quite complicated for certain service providers.

Even FortuneJack, one of the old players in the game do not support Bech32 format addresses up to now which left me quite surprised when i tried withdrawing from their website recently

Yepp, exactly, Bech32 (bc1...) is what I meant to say, thanks for clarification!  

Thanks for the feedback. I understand that you prefer not to switch websites to play different games. To our defence though, we (unlike many others) build our own games from scratch. This takes a lot of work and time. Hence we are unable to launch a large amount of games in a short amount of time. Each game takes months to build and we are a very new casino

We plan to have a solid amount of games, of which several are completely unique. We are working hard on making this happen and on creating a site that won't make you wanna switch at all

I think you mean Bech32 address format since I have no problem withdraw to P2SH-Segwit.
But yeah many service providers haven't updated their system to support bc1 format. Luckily modern wallets like Coinomi, Mycelium, etc., provide both Bech32 (default) and P2SH (compatibility).

It would be nice if withdrawal for Bech32 will be supported in the future.

I am not entirely sure if withdrawal process is like number one request from a casino, it is almost always the same among all casinos and if not the ones that are more expensive of slower usually try to get faster and cheaper without customers saying anything because they want to be in the competition and not lose customers.

I think more games and more currencies and stuff like that are more common. For some reason, some websites make a ton of casino games like 100+ different slots only and then plenty other games so forth, and some websites stay with 1-5 games instead, don't know why there is no place with like 10-20 games and that's it. It is actually a great feeling to be able to choose whatever game you want and not have to switch websites so if I wanted something it would be more games.

No problem. We think it's a very good slot system we have. Good RTP, Provably Fair, pretty nice in house built Bitcoin styled graphics. And as I said earlier, it will get even better with our V3 Bitcoin slots roll out plan I'd think would be coming Spring 2020.



Yes, sort of. Blockchain work is very messy and there's a lot of things in progress. So we have many other priorities. But once we have released the majority of major projects we want to get out there, we would then pivot to minor features such as Segwit, lightning and others. I wouldn't expect such things really to come within the next 12 months though I guess is the best way I can put it for now.

Are there any advanced plans to implement Segwit? Just today I found out that my Segwit-address is not suitable and thus I had to create a Legacy-address for the withdrawal, what is not highly appreciated

Yes, this is exactly what interests me. All this is on the site, but I myself could not find it. I like your RTP. He shows that not only the house wins. Thank you and good luck!
