Just wondering if I've missed it, but I haven't seen any blocks being mined by FutureBit's ApolloBTC miners, which have been around for a few years already, but I've seen a few blocks mined by other home miners, like the bitaxe and the Compac F for example...
Given the popularity of these miners, and also the time that they have been available, I would expect that at least one block would have been mined already. Anyone knows if that has already happened?

☞If Bitcoin was the currency of a country then what will happen?☜
Cryptocurrency is known as the fastest transaction medium for people around the world. Bitcoin is most commonly known and used token in cryptocurrency. Suppose a country began to use Bitcoin instead of their currency. Then, what will happen?
The price of Bitcoin is unstable. Its price may increase or decrease. If a country accepts Bitcoin as their currency, then there will be an economic revolution in that country.
Bitcoin will be operated without the control of the central bank or government of that country. It is capable of preventing inflation. Because it is not possible to print any additional bitcoin. For this, the people of that country can do their transaction easily, transparently & faster and will have the potential to reduce corruption rates. However, when all transactions are completely dependent on online, it will be mandatory for all of the country to gain skills in this regard.
Finally, if Bitcoin is the currency of a country, it will start a new economic age of that country. This will improve the economy of that country and some damage. So these positive and negative aspects of that country should be noticed equally.

There are already a few countries out there with fiat money that have incredible levels of inflation, like Venezuela, Turkey, Argentina, etc, people see price changes in goods and services almost in real time. I don't think that would be something new with Bitcoin, which is nowadays getting more and more stable anyway.
The interesting thing is that it changes the concept of money, basically with fiat wealthy people try to stay away as much as possible from having cash and instead buy assets with it, because they know the value of cash will go down in the future. With Bitcoin though, it is the opposite, the value will probably go up, like an asset, so people have the opportunity to receive money, and just save it, without having to buy an asset. Bitcoin is an asset in itself. That's revolutionary.

There are different casinos, I know of a case where they didn't want to give a player his winnings in roulette because he made a bet and slightly touched the field of the neighboring cell, this is absurd but they didn't give him his winnings. There are also situations when such casinos won't let you out with a big win until you continue playing and lose some of it. But to avoid this, you don't need to go to such dubious casinos, I understand that not all cities have good casinos, but then it's better to play online than to go to such casinos and then get even more nervous when you can't take what you won with you.

Casinos are known to have a lot of security cameras and a lot of people watching every move of the people in there.
If they decided the person affected the play in some way, I think in theory it is fair, because players can cheat the casinos and they should be able to stop that.
Having said that, it might have been a case where the gambler didn't do anything wrong and got accused of something they didn't really do.
I guess they only check when the house loses, and they don't really care when the house wins.
We know that playing is very afraid of risking what we have, but are you afraid of risking everything you have? Or do you have your value and strategy limits? I'm starting to bet now and I'm a little afraid of what I should do, so I came to you to ask for tips or even advice? Can you help me? 
It depends on what you want to do with that money.
If you want to use it for entertainment while gambling, go for it, and make sure to stop when you reach your maximum.
If you want to make more money, don't gamble, and invest it instead.
My favorites are Luis Antonio Tagle and Pierbattista Pizzaballa. However, I don't want to bet any money on this. It seems weird to gamble with religious matters(even though I'm not the most religious person in the world). Trying to predict who is going to become the next Pope is extremely difficult. In the history of the Roman catholic church, there were many times, when the most unexpected candidate got elected as a Pope.
It is really strange to be able to bet in things like this, because they are not really random, aren't they?
These decisions basically have a group of people who get together and decide it.
That means that at least those people are going to be able to know 100% who the next pope is going to be, and they could bet on it.
Or, they could just tell this to someone else, etc.
Strange to be able to bet on non-random things.
Maybe Nostradamus was right and we're going to have a black pope next.

Let me hear from you.
- How do you deal with near misses?
- Do you gamble more to try your luck again or do you just quit?
- What is the emotional implications of having a near miss for you? Mine was a mixed feeling of upset and laughter. I almost cursed Dembele for scoring that goal
Let me hear from you.
Yeah, so basically many games at casinos are designed so that they "feel" like you had a near miss, but in reality, you were really far from winning.
That's by design, because if you were super close, you would want to try again. If you knew how far away you are, you might simply stop trying.
It's a really clever design from casinos. It's all maths in the end, presented in a sexy interface to the gambler. They are really good at their thing.
I think this is pretty normal in blackjack. In my case, I didn’t just lose 15 times in a row, it might’ve even been 30. I don’t have proof, but experiences like that are hard to forget. There are really days like that—sometimes you’re unlucky, sometimes you’re lucky. And the best thing you did was stop playing right away when you weren’t feeling it anymore and were on a losing streak. Unlike me, who kept betting and betting despite consecutive losses instead of stopping.
To be honest, losing in blackjack is more common when there are more players.
If you already have bad odds compared to the casino, including more players actually play against you.
The more players, the more chances other people will win, and therefore you lose. It's just how the game works.
If one is enough for most of us then I think that we're hoping for these prices of Bitcoin to shoot for the next years to come. We don't know when but the time will come for these prices.
$1M
$5M
$10M
So with these prices, 1 BTC is enough for retirement.

I think the main point that has not been talked a lot is that each country and city, as well as lifestyles are going to change this number dramatically.
One person might be living happily with 1BTC, whereas another person might struggle with 10BTC.
It really depends on many factors, not only including the volatility of the price of BTC itself.
I don't think there's just one answer to this.
I think gambling strategies are dangerous because they can give you a false sense of hope and cause you to lose everything. Better is just knowing that over time you are right, nobody beats the casino. You can take that knowledge and if you ever get ahead, walk away and be glad you won money. Otherwise you are paying for entertainment.
The thing is that, in that scenario, the "walking away" part has to be definitive.
If you come back, say, tomorrow, then it's basically the same as never walking away, as the odds are the same.
The best case scenario is someone that played once in their life, won a big prize, and walked away forever.
I don't think anyone has ever done that, because winning at the first try has so tiny probabilities and then when they win, then greed takes over and most people would want to continue gambling and that's how they end up losing it all.

You're right. It is better to stop gambling temporarily whenever we have a problem (especially financial problem). It may influence much our mentality, we may easily get emotional when we have a problem. That condition will make us to have no self-control when we play gambling and we may have no calm mind. This possibly leads us to gamble carelessly and we spend all the money in a day. Sure, there will be no luck if we are unable to play properly. Instead of having good luck, we may experience bad luck in the whole day.

Yes, taking a bit of a break might help mentally to the addicted gambler.
But having said that, the odds will continue to be exactly the same.
It doesn't matter if you stop for one minute, one day, or one year, the next time you play you'll get the same odds as before.
Some people think they somehow reset after they visit the casino another day. Mentally yes though.
It does end well for any gambler who thinks they can easily multiply their gambling money won through gambling more. I don't feel pity for those kinda people who allowed their greed to control them to gamble consistently without thinking of "what if" I gamble, and it didn't work as planned to win more.
That being said, this is a lesson to learn for those who think they can actually bet to win more without having a rethink about their actions that gambling losses are more than wins

I think most people get into gambling exactly for that reason, to multiply their gambling money.
If it was just for the games, they would probably just play those free games instead.
In reality, those free games are not as addicting as the real deal when there's money involved.
Greed is one of the main drivers of addicted gamblers really.
For me, every player always expects to win, the house advantage is known and the player still accepts the conditions, so how do windows of opportunities to win open in a casino? They only focus on that, when a player wins and not when he loses or the amount of money he loses, the casino will always have the advantage and there is nothing to do here, people think that since it is a game with probability fairness they will have more chances of winning and it is not like that.
Yeah, that's spot on.
There is a lot of misconceptions in gambling. I think that's because our brains are not really that great at probabilities.
Casinos are great at taking advantage of this, and they design all their games to maximize their earnings, but doing so in discreet ways.
That is, they design games that might look like they have a good probability to win for the gambler, but in reality, if you actually do the math, are very bad, and the odds are much better for the casino.
House edge is there to protect the interest of the house much more than the interest of the gambler this is so that gamblers stand the chance to only win the amount that their luck permits them to win and most times, one needs to look out for ways to prepare your mind that winning in gambling only occurs via luck and nothing else so while gambling never expects a winning.
Yeah, it's simply an illusion that gamblers get. The illusion that they can in theory go to a casino, gamble, and become a millionaire somehow.
The reality is that most, and by most I mean the vast majority, will end up quite poor in the end, because they would have gambled away all their money.
Once a gambler stops they will realize how much money they have spent in these activities and think about what they could have invested that instead.

In my opinion, it is more profitable to be a casino owner, but it requires a lot of initial capital. But I see that many forum participants choose the developer option, as it does not require a lot of capital, which most do not have, but many have programming skills.

The original question is about having one casino with multiple games vs having one game in multiple casinos.
I think in that regard, the best for me would be having one game in multiple casinos, that's assuming the game is a popular one.
But it's hard to know which games are going to be popular, which brings the idea that a casino with different games might be the best option.
But again, it depends, maybe in some casinos the game is not popular, but it is popular in other casinos.
Personally, I’m not a fan of slots, even though they’re trending in my country. Even streamers are playing slots now, but I’ve always been a dice player. I just don’t feel like I have any control over what comes next in slots, it’s all based on how the game is coded. I’m not saying it’s not fair, but that’s just how I view it.
I’ve always preferred dice, which is also why I chose it over sports betting. Maybe it’s because I like getting instant results rather than waiting. But I’ll probably start shifting slowly to sports betting since it’s already playoff season, and, I feel like my luck in dice has been drained lately.

The thing with streamers playing slots is that basically they are getting paid to do so.
They basically are creating ads for the casinos by playing those games in the streams, and they get money from that.
These days ads can appear in many shapes or forms, even as content itself.

There's only so many times you can play the same game until you get bored and sick of it. I really can't take it with slots anymore. Even though there are many different slot games it's just the same thing to me.
So my answer is:
I won't choose one or the other. Sometimes I feel like playing slots, sometimes sports betting. It depends on what I feel my mood is like.

Yeah, I think what you're saying is quite valid.
It is basically more towards just enjoying the game that you are playing.
I guess other people were talking more about the odds of each game. How they might want to maximise those odds in favour of the gambler.
In the end I think you are right, what really matters the most is how much fun the gambler is having. And if that's not fun any more, then it makes sense to not gamble there any more.
