May I ask what is the purpose of zero satoshi bets?
About the progressive jackpot - I think it would be cool if you have multiple progressive jackpots versions designed and allow players to choose what variant they want to use.
It would be absolutely amazing feature to have, that level of customization would be truly next level!
Zero-satoshi bets - players use them to try rolling, learning how things work. Actually my thinking is: when I am on a new site and want to see how it works even without going through the faucet, I try rolling instantly. One thing that discourages me is an instant error: "Amount too small".
Some people roll these bets.
For the jackpot - I am thinking something bitsler-style:
- have a jackpot, let's say 1 BTC for start
- you need to hit a certain number, e.g. 777,777 (it's 1/1,000,000 chance)
- how much you win depends on the amount of your bet. bitsler has it: % = 100*amount / 0.005, which means you can get 100% of the jackpot if your bet amount is 0.005 or larger. if it's smaller, you just get a bit of it.
I've looked at some other jackpot systems, this one looks best to me. I might tune some parameters, e.g. change the win chance, change win %. Especially for the "launch promo", the numbers could be more in favor of players.
I am open to other ideas too, I hope it will be fun :-)
Cheers,
Ethan
I'm not a huge fan of systems similar to Bitsler as it doesn't really add anything for the gambler in terms of entertainment. There isn't any suspense, and it's more of a "hey, I hit jackpot while betting" in their heads vs "(at 11 sevens or whatever in a row) come on... Come on, just one more bet... *Places bet* OMG I JUST WON!"
I think adjusting it a bit so it takes the average of the last bets that you used to hit it and pay a proportion the jackpot out of it's a lot amount.
