Playing blackjack on the Steem blockchain is now also possible! Yeah!

in #esteem6 years ago (edited)

At the moment there are several dice games around on the steem blockchain. We have the most played Magicdice, we do have a newer kid on the block Epicdice and the more contested Steembet.
But those are all dice games. Which are sometimes fun to play! I am more like a blackjack or video rouletter players. And finally blackjack is available on the steem blockchain!

Kryptogamers

Well Kryptogamers do offer this possibility!
But they have more. They also offer a dice game and on the homepage it seems that they are working on Video Poker!

Membership club

But it seems that the do have a solid plan, a plan to keep players playing, which is utmost important for these kind of dapps.

They do offer some kind of membership plan. Depending on the amount of Steem you have wagered you are ranked into a Club members system.
The higher you get into the club ranking the more rewarding it will be.

You could get from bonus tokens up to some free bets (insurance). The number of insurance bets are awarded one of month!

If you are for instance in Silver, you will get one insurance bet per month for free. Could be great using this on their dice game.
But also you will collect 15% more tokens than a member still in the gamer rank!
Each month you will have to wager a certain amount of steem to stay in your rank. This is Retainer column. I am for instance in Copper. This means that I will get 5% extra tokens and that I do need to wager 50 steem per month to stay in there. If I don't I will drop a level.

What I also very much appreciate is the openness of you betting history. No need to hassle with bookkeeping, they just show you how much you have wagered and how much you did get back. In my example I am just a little bit below 5 steem in the green.

Also extra points for Kryptogamers because they have implemented both Keychain and Steemconnect!

The games

Dice

They did start out with the common dice game!
In contrast to Magicdice you only have the possibility to bet on the under.

I do prefer the way Magicdice did this and giving the possibility to choice the under or over bet!

But it works like it should be. And haven't run into any problems.

Blackjack!

Yeah! This was my main play ground last night. I do think that I do have the capabilities to beat the house! Mmh, probably not true but let me life in my dream :)

The minimum bet is 0.1 steem and the maximum bet is 100 steem.

Like it should they do offer the possibility to split or double!
I did had a problem with doubling up yesterday evening via the mobile, reported it in their discord channel and got the bet refunded. Not only that they did ask what kind of browser and OS I was using. So they are really trying to fix all remaining bugs. Great work!

Dividends

The dividends feature is not live yet! But they promised that all bets will get the tokens!
The problem at the moment is that it is unclear at the moment how many tokens will be available and how the dividends will be shared.

So, you should be aware of this if you do want to mine at this moment. They do expect that the tokens and token distribution plan will be available within 2 to 3 weeks.
They also promised that all bets which will be placed between now and the token release will receive their fair share of tokens.

Also they will give out an early bird bonus.

Have fun and bet smart!

More ways to play with the steem blockchain! Cool! Hope this is fruitful for you. Have played blackjack only in Vegas and doubled up what I had and checked out. The dealer wasn't happy of course 😂

I tried their blackjack, it definetely needs work. How many decks of cards are there and how can we trust that? When do they reshuffle? Love real blackjack but I'll stick to the dice when it comes to the electronic games

I am also curious about the video poker game. That would be a blast.
I do play the dice games to mine. I do prefer to play the blackjack to beat the house. Silly old me :)
The blackjack indeed cast be a little bit faster. But overall I am pleased with the first version. Like always if it does take off, others will follow!
Thans for the comment!
Cheers,

It's cool that more Dapps are being developed for the blockchain. The wagers seem awfully high, though — the Bronze level, second-from-bottom, is more Steem that I've been able to earn & buy in a year-and-a-half on the blockchain. 😳 It seems like this system is designed to be usable mostly by the wealthy, high-hitter investors on the chain. But hey, it's a new Dapp, so that is good, I suppose.

All new dapps could have an added value! Yes the total amount of wagers needed to reach Bronze is not shabby! But I will give it a shot. The house has a 1% advantage on Blackjack, with a decent strategy you can decrease this to 0.5%. Meaning that for each 100 steem wagered you should get around 99.5 steem back.
At the moment I am running with a loss of 60 steem, but that was my own fault! Will try to win it back in a smarter way!

Cheers,

I'm curious about the legality of gambling on the blockchain. Do they need to satisfy any regulations to set this up and make accessible to everyone?

Proud member of #powerhousecreatives

Normally they should. But most of them don't care about it! Some do have official gambling licenses but most are operating in a grey zone!
As long as cryptocurrency isn't an official currency they will get away with it, I think!

Blackjack changes the game for me... I absolutely love the game but for those reasons I should try to avoid it even more!
