it does not really have to be decentralised but just a platform with gambling games that cannot be influenced by the house.
That will be quite difficult to make. A much easier implementation is one in which the house has no
incentive to influence the outcome.
Lets take paper-scissor-rock as example. 2 persons put for example 1000 satoshi each in the pot and then play the game. The person who wins the game will receive the prize pool of 2000 satoshi (minus the fee that the platform is charging).
So it can be decentralised but can also work like a regular online casino with player accounts where people can deposit some money, receive affiliate income and winnings. I think if you want to make it entirely decentralised you must work with a coin or token that has very fast confirmations. A game paper-scissor-rock for example takes less than 30 seconds to end. So it fast transactions should be necessary.
There used to be
PvP in Rollin Chatter Box, but the site closed down. It was created by a Mod, had no house edge, and players couldn't influence the outcome.
The biggest I've seen:
But like I said, the site closed down. And although it was popular, at many times there was only one player, so it didn't work. That's one of the main reasons for playing against the house: it's always around.
You would be able to configure games like dice, mines, etc to multiplayer games but then you still have the risk the house manipulates the game and can favourise house players. But like in games I mentioned like rock-scissor-paper or on top of this connect4 this are real P2P games that can't be manipulated by the house. So everyone has a fair 50% chance of winning
How do you know your opponent isn't just an employee who knows that you choose rock before he picks paper?
The easiest thing I can come up with, is what's used for raffles on this forum. I've slightly edited this quote to fit this thread:
How does it work?
Participants choose a character like a normal raffle and post that along with their TXID in this thread. Once all characters have been paid for, a future block will be chosen to determine the final contestant winner by the last character in the block's hash.
