Topic: New skill games Dragon's Tale (Read 5821 times)

We've just released a special game that will only be around for the holidays - come help decorate the Dragon's Tale Christmas Tree! Each time you click an Ornament, you'll have a chance to select how much you wish to gamble, from 10 Bitmills (0.01 BTC) up. The higher you bet, the greater chance of a rare ornament. Red ornaments are the most common, then Blue, then the Origami shown on the lower branches. There are 15 possible ornament types, and with each one, a jackpot (except for lumps of coal.) When the tree is fully decorated (no lumps of coal), the star at the top will light.

The tree keeps track of the total value of Ornaments displayed. Every time a new high-water mark is set, the tree's life renews for one week, so it's possible to keep the tree alive past Christmas.

It's also possible to plant a private tree by donating one Bitcoin to the Faucet, located behind the Palace. Private trees can be admired by everyone, but can only be decorated by you and designated friends. So far, three private trees have been planted.

Also, eight special holiday drinks have been released: Enjoy a Sugarplum Float, warm up with a Gingerbread Latte, or sip a Candycane Daiquiri.

Dragon's Tale is easily one of the coolest indie games online.

The new 'Waterwheel' game went live this evening.  It's a 'luck based game' with a shared state, so the payouts tend to ramp.  I enjoyed my play earlier.  Dragon's Tale is a unique MMO casino, and you should check it out ;-)

As a longtime player and mentor on Dragon's Tale, I HIGLY recommend the game for those who enjoy some gameplay with their gambling.  Honestly, you need never deposit any btc into the game to do ok and be a member of the community.  You should all come and check it out, and hit me up ingame and I will show you the ropes/mentor you.

As a personal story - I started DT with 0btc, and won my way upto 11.9btc without EVER depositing.  I then lost it all and won my way back upto 6.1btc and lost it all again.  Since then I have made several deposits and withdrawals - and I'm not 100% sure how much I'm up, but I know what my balance and Mtgox account look like ;-)

Genius ideas. We think you guys are awesome!!!

My friend's friend was playing this all day yesterday. We thought he was being a stupid gambler, but he just kept making more and more BTC. He must've made like 30 BTC just kicking benches!

It's been a while since I posted - Dragon's Tale is now up to 43 unique games in it's 3D multiplayer world. (92 games counting variants.)

Our latest game is analog checkers, also known as Kanivan Tak. Pieces move the same distance as in normal checkers, but they're not limited to 45 degree angles. Players agree on a wager amount, with the winner taking all. Like most 2-player games in Dragon's Tale, there is no house rake.

We've also just released Treefalls, a seemingly straightforward game where you pick leaves from any of the trees around the world. Most trees pay 95%, but every week one species secretly pays 105%, while three species only pay 85%. By clever play, you may be able to identify the magical species and play it repeatedly. More details are provided in-game at the Department of Herbal Resources.

Another recent skill game is Qing Vases, where you try to arrange vases on shelves so that identical vases form straight lines. In Qing Vases you are able to influence which vases change from play-to-play. In the variant "Ming Vases" you don't influence which vases change, but can control how many change per play. Finally, the Han Vases variant is an almost pure-luck game that plays fast, and tends to have long winning streaks. (There is some debate on whether Han Vases is pure luck, or can be played as a skill game.)
