I wasn't sure where to post this, but I thought this territory probably had the most lurking gamblers. Over the years I have played around with this site for fun. In my younger days I enjoyed casino blackjack. I like the game, so this site serves for me as the time waster that others might use solitaire or free cell for.
The rules aren't great. No splitting, for instance. What I find most intriguing is that the game claims to be provably fair.
Here's how it's done:
Provably Fair
Provably fair? Don't trust, verify! We can't cheat and we can prove this using the common 'provably fair' technique. Before a game begins, our server generates a random seed and already provides the hash of it to you. When starting each game, your browser will also generate a random clientseed. Now comes the fun part: when you concatenate these two together and take the SHA512 hash, this will tell you the order of the cards in the deck. To prove to you that we respect this random order each time, we show you the hash of our seed beforehand (before you send your clientseed, so we can not cherrypick). When the game is finished, we reveal our actual serverseed and you can hash it and compare it to the earlier sent hash.
Technical: the seeds and hash are shown in the console log. To create the hash that is used for the order of cards, do SHA512("satoshi" + serverseed + clientseed). Convert each 2 characters of this hex hash to decimal and each number will give you the index (0 - 207) of a 4-deck stack of cards. Note numbers higher than 207 are ignored, as well as any repeating number. The order of the decks are spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs, each from 1 to king, and this 4 times in a row.
This is beyond my abilities. Has anyone checked?
Alby Go Is A Perfect Match
@DarthCoin is always preaching that we should use many different lightning wallets for different purposes. I have tried many over the years on this site with mixed results. Alby Go turns out to be the perfect match for this game.
Warning
I'm not recommending that you gamble. I can spend hours on this site, trying out different betting strategies, and never lose more than a few hundred sats on a bad day. This is just for fun, unless you are a crazy degen like @Undisciplined.
