Re: bitZino :: Provably Fair HTML5 Bitcoin Casino - Now featuring Craps!
Really like the craps.
I even managed to get a co-worker to start playing by selling him some btc that I sent right to his deposit address. He didn't even have to know what bitcoin is as I will cash him out if he wants. I think I have found a way to get more people using bitcoin...

This is a really cool story! I originally built bitZino with the main purpose of bringing bitcoin to the masses, so I'm glad to see that is starting to happen
Right now we only show the maximum bets in the rules dropdown if you're cashed into a real-bitcoin table. We are planning on changing this soon so that it will show on all play-money tables as well. Thanks for bringing this up, so that we expedite this change.
After asking what the maximum bet was, I found the information in your first post of this thread:
- A wide range of limits: Bet anywhere from 1 μBTC all the way up to 10 BTC.
So I loaded up 10 BTC and started martingale-betting on craps. Imagine my surprise when I lost a 1.6 btc bet and it wouldn't let me double up to 3.2 btc. It turns out the maximum bet is really only 2 btc. I ended up throwing a mini-tantrum and losing the rest on blackjack.
I think you should either not mention the maximum bet in that first post, or correct it. It doesn't feel fair to give incorrect information there. I wouldn't have been betting how I did if I had realised the max bet was 5 times smaller than stated.
I'm sorry about that! I have updated the original post so that it is more correct.
We do take bets up to 10 BTC, but only in Blackjack and Roulette. Video Poker has a max bet of 1 BTC per hand, and Craps has a max bet of 2 BTC per wager-type. Roulette also has a max bet of 1 BTC for the number wagers.
The main reason we have to make our Craps maximum wager smaller is because we support up to 5x odds wagers. This means that a wager of 2 BTC on pass and a subsequent maximum odds wager of 10 BTC is technically a 12 BTC wager on pass.
