The reality is poker hand dealing will not be able to implement with seeds. In the end there needs to be a deck and there needs to be a shuffle and there needs to be a deal, all of which combined can't be provably fair when it comes to seed and proof which is why poker is not provably fair.

Now, don't get me wrong, dice was not provably fair until it was so there could be some method one day, some developer would find a way to do it and he would implement and they would fix it and make it provably fair but until someone finds that unknown method for now there is no provably fair poker in the whole world.

It is still fine because as long as it is a legit website and the odds are at the relm of reality there is no problem at all, so I can definitely play poker without worrying about it.

Interesting, thanks a lot for your input!

How about the kind of "poker" that is similar to slots? I don't know what it called though...

The game was like pull the lever, and you receive five random cards. If the player gets a pair, triple, four a kind, flush, etc., he will get x payouts, just like slot games.

Maybe this way you could attract both slots and poker enthusiast.

This is called Video Poker. This is a fundamentally completely different game than what we have been talking about, but yes, this game could in theory be put onto a website and be made provably fair with relatively little difficulty. However, we have no intention to add this game to our website at any point on our roadmap, yet.

With Poker, I'd say the biggest consideration with us will be player base. The more people we have playing on MintDice, potentially the more likely we would be to add in the poker client as well at some point after the sportsbook is released with that licensor. But realistically, we'll just have to wait and see, and either way, poker won't be coming for some time if it ever does so don't hold your breath

We realize that we still have a lot of work to finish up the major first steps to our gaming platform and build community trust but we are doing what we can in the mean time. I'm really hoping to have three of our new major products released before the end of this year.

Nice to see to see the community base building around mintdice and glad to see your able to be more actively engaged, looks like you've continued to do well bringing people on board. Still looking forward to seeing your new games when they release, should be fun learning the ins and outs.
Poker would be sweet, but it's understandable why it's not priority; I'll be game if/when it launches for sure. Something nice about knowing the face behind the site, and their opinion on being as provably fair as possible.

Congrats on the final table to both of you, looks like you had fun.

Hey SteamTyme, nice to see you drop by.

My real life friend/neighbor and girl who was the one who knocked me out of the tournament in 5th place made a vlog detailing the event:

Pretty solid video actually, worth a watch. Many crypto celebs are seen throughout the event.

Interesting insight into the real gambling. Its nice to see the perspective from a different angle and, I guess as we always excepted a lot of heavy gamblers ... Thanks for sharing
