Can you provide us with the EV / house edge for this game and the different options? Like obviously you pay 1.98x on a 50/50 bet but what is the house edge or EV in the long run for the 30x / 500x and JP payouts?

I can, and your question helped to uncover a serious issue, so thank you.  Here are the current numbers:
Code:
Game Chance Payout HE
1 50% 1.98x 1%
2 3.125% 30x 6.25%
3 0.1953125% 500x 2.34375%
4 0.1953125%

They're not so good.  It looks like we decided to go with pretty numbers instead of mathematically sensible numbers.  So to fix this situation, we're going to change to a new chart:

Code:
Game Chance Payout HE
1 50% 1.98x 1%
2 3.125% 31.68x 1%
3 0.1953125% 506.88x 1%
4 0.1953125%

These changes will be active at the time of this post.

Additionally, any balances that are less than BTC1 will be reset, but in hopes of remaining fair to current players that are ahead, 1 of their 5 rebuys will be used up by this reset.

Another thing that I actually discovered this morning myself is that the Jackpot scales based on how much you bet.  So if you bet the max bet, and you win the jackpot, you get 100% of it, but if you're only betting half of the max bet, you'd only win 50% of the jackpot.

After losing my entire balance, I have decided that it's an unwise idea to play this game Cheesy

We want you back!  Your account is among the ones being reset, so at least we hope you play again Smiley

The popup box says Your bet is invalid, valid bets are ฿0.00000001 to ฿10000000.
But when you enter anything above 0.1 it tells you it's too much.

This error has been fixed, thank you for pointing it out.  Smiley
