I destroyed 20, bot destroyed 14 and i still lost? How is that

Look at the main post of this thread (or click on Help button at left top corner of the game page).

Quote

Payout is determined as a ratio of player's hits to dealer's hits. However, dealer's shots are completely random, thus he is pretty disadvantaged. The Dealer cannot find player's ships after a hit. Because of that, final payout is 17:25.

This gives aprox. 2% house edge.

As I already wrote, it's expected that you can win up to 2720% of your bet. And in the worst case you can lose up to 69% of your bet.

This game is interesting and there are some tips to get an edge over the computer.
Always try to find the largest ship first as you can unveil the empty spots around a big ship.

In fact, all dealer's shots are completely random, because his shots are determined by provably fair shuffling. There is no bot hunting your ships.

But your hint describing reserved points around destroyed ships is true! That's why the payout is determined as is.

Would have liked it if the player was allowed to cash out any time during the game.

I went upto 120 mBTC (a few days ago) but went down to 20 after I was forced to play. Undecided

It is better to give the player the win amount when they resign than forfeiting everything.

It's a good implementation question - to allow cash out any time?

When it's allowed you should remember that probability of overcome dealer any time during the game is higher, so payout would be lower in that case. It's possible to apply similar rules as minesweeper sites use, but the game would remotely resemble Battleship...

I think the game is more exciting when you are in winning position and you still have to watch the dealer whether he will hit you or not. Or when you are losing and you still have a chance to catch up the dealer. That's a Battleship!

Anyway these game rules guarantee low volatility. When you lose, the lose is not a big one. It's statistically expected that your winnings should be between 31% and 2720% of your bet.

really hard to win a free bitcoin from Tic Tac Toe, always lose Cheesy

nice game, sharpen the brain

Thanks

In Tic Tac Toe simply play as offensive as possible. Do not worry that bot will create winning line before you. It aim to block you.

Because you resigned. Resign dialog window pointing out the game rules - "Are you sure to resign? You lose your bet!".

You cannot stop the game to take winnings. Game is finished only when dealer's or player's fleet is completely destroyed.

This is great. xD Is there any way for us to place our ships? Or is it always random?
@rayhan you need to win by a greater number of shots. Maybe 14 to 20 or something lol. Less than that and you start losing bitcoins.

You can arrange your ships by random reshuffling only. We believe that this is the fastest and the most comfortable way.

However, if manual ship placing is common request, we can add this functionality in the future. Vote, please!

Payout calculation is described in the main post Wink

Tried it with the faucet, nice fun game to kill time. Also, tried solitaire but I never remembered it being this hard Cheesy

Will try it with my own money soon.

your tic tac toe is hard, it took my about 5 tries to win

Same, but after a few tries, I figured it out and now I can get it on the first turn.
