It's HODL game, so it makes sense. When it crashes, it says "rugged" so if we are familiar with the term and field, the reason is self-explanatory. Have you ever traded shitcoins in pump.fun? The game seems to have the same theme and flavor lol. I used to see BetHog posting on Twitter about pump.fun coins. They seem to be huge fans of pump.fun, and same sort of platform lol.
I'm not familiar with pump.fun. Anyway, now it is clear to me why the concept of the crash game is different here. BetHog team have addressed it as 'HODL' game, and they want to give the the feeling of crypto price volatility here with this concept. They have made the crash game unique with this concept, but it has failed to attract bettors. I don't see anyone to place bets on the 'HODL' game at BetHog.
Basically, it's just an improve version of crash game. It's a fun game if you've experienced trading shitcoins before as what LM said.
It doesn't attract many players mainly because of its dull animation. Unlike slot games where there are a lot of things going on when you're winning, crash game or particularly their HODL game is just like looking at a trading chart at lower timeframe which could get you bored easily.
I see nothing wrong with the mechanics of their HODL game. I just hope they could add some animation everytime the multiplier goes to a certain level which could add some excitement to the player.
Agree that its fun game its just some other players does not familiar with this since somehow it get less attention especially that lots of people mainly focus on slot games.
We didn't see much the HODL game has been marketed that's why it get less exposure. But if this will be introduce well then for sure that it became a good alternative games by gamblers especially if they are tired of playing those traditional slot games. Updated animation would provably give more attention especially that this would add some attraction for people playing that game. So lets just see and for sure it will happen especially that if this game will became more famous to gamblers.
