Yeah, a game needs to be made that more closely mimics a scratch off lotto ticket. Multiple different prize levels to win with on transaction, and every transaction has a chance at a jackpot prize level.

love tester scratch off
baby slots mini scratch off
ladders (WIP scratch off's)
Slowpoke Novelty scratch off
WikiLeaks Donations Is a scratch off game where the jackpot is donated to wikileaks (~0.5 btc so far).

We welcome any suggestions for scratch off games

Also Sic Bo single dice number bets have 3 types of payouts for how many of dice match the number you picked and our clone dice game also features progressive jackpots.

We also have bitcoin links for quick and easy betting via multibit, BitSpinner, Android Wallet and Blockchain.info Wallets Cheesy

Our websites are constantly being improved, we do apologize for the retro look on many of the pages.

Sorry for the spam satoshidice.com Cheesy

but we saw gamers asking for literally our games Wink

Can you develop an alternative game where the I can win what I actually rolled? for example, I rolled a 18, but my bet was on lessthan 64000, so I missed out on a potentially big payout. In this alternative game, if I roll a 16, then I get paid the 1998.853x multiplier or whatever multiplier that would be mathematically correct. I'd like to play this style.

If they paid 64000x for every zero, 31981.573x for every 1, etc. using the current payouts, the expected return per 1 BTC bet would be 9.3 BTC.

So to make a game with a small positive (1.9%) expectation for the house, but with the same proportions of the payouts, we need to scale the current multipliers back by 9.3 / 0.981. I left the 'losing' return at 0.005, and slightly adjusted the 3rd decimal place of the payouts to make it work. Then we get:

Code:

lessthan 1	6750.942x
lessthan 2	3373.527x
lessthan 4	1686.764x
lessthan 8	 843.382x
lessthan 16	 421.691x
lessthan 32	 210.846x
lessthan 64	 105.423x
lessthan 128	  52.712x
lessthan 256	  26.356x
lessthan 512	  13.178x
lessthan 1000	   6.747x
lessthan 1500	   4.498x
lessthan 2000	   3.374x
lessthan 3000	   2.249x
lessthan 4000	   1.687x
lessthan 6000	   1.125x
lessthan 8000	   0.844x
lessthan 12000	   0.563x
lessthan 16000	   0.422x
lessthan 24000	   0.282x
lessthan 32000	   0.211x
lessthan 32768	   0.206x
lessthan 48000	   0.141x
lessthan 52000	   0.130x
lessthan 56000	   0.121x
lessthan 60000	   0.113x
lessthan 64000	   0.106x
64000 or more	   0.005x

Which gives pretty much the correct house edge:

Code:

>>> (
     1 * 6750.942 +
     1 * 3373.527 +
     2 * 1686.764 +
     4 *  843.382 +
     8 *  421.691 +
    16 *  210.846 +
    32 *  105.423 +
    64 *   52.712 +
   128 *   26.356 +
   256 *   13.178 +
   488 *    6.747 +
   500 *    4.498 +
   500 *    3.374 +
  1000 *    2.249 +
  1000 *    1.687 +
  2000 *    1.125 +
  2000 *    0.844 +
  4000 *    0.563 +
  4000 *    0.422 +
  8000 *    0.282 +
  8000 *    0.211 +
   768 *    0.206 +
 15232 *    0.141 +
  4000 *    0.130 +
  4000 *    0.121 +
  4000 *    0.113 +
  4000 *    0.106 +
  1536 *    0.005) / 65536

0.9810327911376953

Would people be willing to play a game where you need to roll less than 6000 to 'win'? It means that less than one ticket in ten is a winning ticket.

Hey all,

Bug was discovered today that had caused some stuck txs.

After some digging...

Some transactions were missed by the main processing watcher (which
happens). One of the backup watchers should have caught them but didn't
because that address (1diceDCd27Cc22HV3qPNZKwGnZ8QwhLTc) was one of
the new ones added a while back and we had forgotten to update the watch list.

We're reimporting a few days of blocks now which will get them in and then
the transaction will be processed normally.

Thanks for fixing this!

You got it, boss Wink

Depends on what?! Come on man, we GOTTA KNOW! I got my finger ready to place the bet as soon as someone can tell me the outcome of the bet before I place it.

Depends on the day's secret, and your transaction ID. I wonder how many people have access to the daily secrets before they're published.

I have a problem with a bet I won a short while ago...

bet info here: http://www.satoshidice.com/full.php?tx=7dc05158a604f318b59503936d797c4060ed0db4c3959d96c5473305fbaa5a03

Bet was stuck on "Unknown" for a good while (a couple of hours), and paid back to a different address (that isnt mine!), so someone else has my winnings.

bet was sent from 1Boi94dTaqS6Z8reo3PVT6rwe8zCBVVvY but paid back to 1Ab9AAuVQnvQfJBv45PUyAc6QV39mQetN3??

Have been betting all morning upto that point with no issues, then this one gets stuck and pays out to the wrong address

Ignore that post, i had a connection issue on my bitcoin client machine which is now resolved

. Sorry!

Also,

almost all of the bets in the last 2 hours are 'stuck'. Wins and losses. A few have made it out, but most have not.

Uh huh. Any idea why?

Just want everyone to know that I won playing less than 3200 with a number of 1834... and to think I was so tempted to bet for below 2000...

Maybe you already know, but if you like you can split your bet in a single transaction. Put half on <2000 and half on <3200, and you'll get the same lucky number for both bets. It seems like quite a common thing for people to do; you can bet on all the bets at once if you like - there seems to be no limit.

Haha, thanks for the advice. I was half asleep when I posted that. Anyway, I tried it... won on one number and still came out ahead. I'm a one bet a night kind of guy. Now if I could just get my winnings paid out...

Dear SatoshiDice,

How about adding bets "lessthan 36000", "40000", and "44000"?

There's currently a big gap between 32768 and 48000.
