Friday: steem games report

in #esteem6 years ago (edited)

It is Friday and normally friday is about gaming and gambling!
So here we go. Let's see how I did last week with the steem related games!

Steemmonsters

Let's start with the oldest game around. And while having a fierce competition from drugwars, maybe still the Godfather of the steem related games!

Today's daily quest did me really loose my confidence in the game. A new personal record has been set. Too bad for me that it was a negative record! I did need 33 battles to complete my daily quest. The first quest was with the water splinter, but after 15 battles or so I did request a new daily quest. Only 1 out of 15 was lost. When I did start with the daily battle I was knocking in the door of Gold II but slipped down to Silver I. WTF My collections isn't that bad, I guess!

I was close to selling all my gold cards but than I did remember that automated tournaments are around the corner and maybe the value of gold cards will rise due to only gold tournaments. So I will hold them a little bit longer!

At the moment I did complete 8 daily quest in this season and these are my rewards!

As you can see I did mine 40 cards with an average value of $0.04. In total the value is $1.46. That is a little bit more than 4 steem, which makes it worth to play. I am selling all my reward cards which can't be used to power up cards. So if a card already has the max level for the summoner than it will be sold.
I am still 387 steem and 12 SBD in the red!

If I convert the value of my collection into steem, this would be 415 steem. Just enough to cover the costs!
But I will try to write 2 or 3 times a week a steemmonsters post, to also profit from their upvotes. Every little bit helps!

Drugwars

Here we do have another story! This games is making a profit for me at the moment and because I will not invest anymore steem into the game, the profit can only increase. The great things is that @drugwars doesn't cost much time to play!

My original investment was 80.839 steem and at the moment I did get a combined paycheck of 81.592 steem. That is a profit of 0.753 steem.
Maybe I do have to extract my donation to the @steemcartel of 15 steem. This will probably an investment, which will not have a positive ROI but maybe it will turn out a wise investment when the battles do start! Maybe it will be a great protection. We will never know!

If you are not already playing drugwars, feel free to use my referral link:
https://staging.drugwars.io/#!/ref/@fullcoverbetting
While it is a pay-2-play game, you can play it for free and get small pieces of free steem. I won't advice you to invest much steem in it at the moment. And if you do, please make some kind of investment plan!

At the moment I do need 1000 more drugs to be able to power up my Pharm lab. This will mean an increase of 30K drugs per day. So probably I will need to start investing into silos again.

Steemslotgames

@Steemslotgames had a great week and me too. Thanks to being one of the first to have discovered the bonus mechanism and to give away a small part of my referral bonus. This way reps above 60 could have free 100 spins and reps above 70 even did have a guaranteed profit of 8 steem!

There is still around 30 hours left for this promotion. The only thing you need to do is to play 100 spins with the minimum bet. So 10 steem at risk but with the bonus of 8 steem for the reps between 60 and 70 and the bonus of 16 steem for reps above 70, you can't loose if you use my referral ID:
https://steemslotgames.com/?referral_name=fullcoverbetting

Magicdice

@magicdice the first dice game on the steem blockchain. They did have some problems during the past weekend and the team does lack communication skills.

Still I do try to mine some Magic tokens each day. I do risk around 1 steem per day and most of the times I do get away with a small profit.
The dividend they do pay out to me has ofcrouse dropped because the mining of Magic tokens is halved. For each steem wagered you will get 12.5 Magic, while a week agoo this was still 25 magic. Also for this reason I did withdraw my 100 steem delegation to them.

At the moment the average dividend per day of the past week was 0.32 steem. That's good for an extra 2 steem per day!
I am a little but surprised by the height of this dividend!

Steem-bet

Last and for the moment also the least! Sorry guys.
The problem I do have with @steem-bet is that you are forced to play it via the Chrome browser. The positive thing is that they did integrate keychain, which makes it easier to bet. Magicdice uses steemconnect, which forces you to give the password time for each bet!

What I also don't like is that they only offer the under bet, in constrast to Magicdice where you can choise to bet under or over.
It is still unsure how the dividends will pay out. For the moment you will get 50 SBT (Steem-bet tokens) per 1 steem wagered.

I am also here trying to mine some SBTs each day. At the moment I did get away with a loss. I do have a profit of:

I you also want to mine some SBT tokens here is my referral id:
https://steem-bet.com?ref=fullcoverbetting

But be aware that is unsure at the moment how much value these SBTs will have. I do take a gamble with this one. We will see in the future if it was worth it!

So, that is enough for now. As you can see that games on steem are expanding which is just great. For most of them it is important to catch them in an early stage to be capable of making a profit out of them.
For the moment besides steemmonster am I pretty satisfied about all the free steem they are giving me on a daily basis. This only makes my steem accout stronger. And the stronger my account is, the better I can support you all.

Have a nice weekend,
Peter

Wonderful review of the State of Steem Gaming. Do you think a lower Steem Cost will encourage more people to try playing these games? Or will higher Steem Value be the reason?

Posted using Partiko iOS

Thanks.
It all depends. For instance games like drugwars and steemmonsters could profit from a higher value of steem. They do run their business model on USD and convert the prices of the cards or the upgrades into steem. Take for instance a booster pack at Steemmonsters does cost $2. But at the moment that is around 6.x steem. Suppose that the value of Steem has climbed to 1 Dollar. Than a booster pack would only cost 2 steem. People don't always look at the value of steem, they do see steem as just steem. So more people would be willing to invest!
So the low value of steem are maybe hindering these games in their expantion!

For the gambling games I don't think that it will matter.
Time will tell I guess!

Cheers,
Peter

I am getting burned out on steemmonsters. Then again I got 3 decks, but the falling prices, Alpha cards prices are going under Beta.... I am not sure of the long term outlook for me.

I am feel great about drug wars after this last week. How is the Cartel working out. I have been looking at joining, but not sure I fully understand all the benefits.

Friday for games and gambling? Uh..yeah, some in-game event happened yesterday too (draw rate increase for rare cards in some mobile game I play) and after trying my luck a little I can conclude that RNG doesn't really like me 😂 maybe I should play some Steem-related games...making some minor profit by doing something I like sounds just as good as it seems.

Maybe I'll start with Drugwars? Thinking...🤔

Ach... I see you have the same trouble with Fire Splinter that I am having this evening... can't win a game.... Sigh!

One of my worst decks. :(
Not that the others are much better :)
Made it to Gold II this morning. I do assume that this will me my max for the season. I am only playing the daily quests and selling most of my reward cards.
Didn't try a tournament yet and I doubt it that I will.
