We use Phoenixd as our backend, connected to ACINQ—one of the largest and most well-connected Lightning nodes out there—so there should typically be plenty of liquidity. It’s possible the no-route error is wallet-related or due to a small channel on your end. You might try a different wallet or funding route, and if the issue persists, feel free to let us know so we can investigate further!
We’re effectively the “house” for LN Roulette, providing the bank for all payouts. It’s a standard European wheel (numbers 0–36). As for bet limits, the current table maximum is 150k sats, and there’s no hard minimum—just bet as little or as much as you’d like under that limit. We’ll add a dedicated rules section soon to make all of this clearer!
Thanks for trying out LN Roulette! The issue you’re encountering is because our current minimum withdrawal is set to 100 sats. We realize that’s not ideal for smaller balances, so we’ll adjust it down to 10 sats now. Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for the feedback—it helps us improve!
Absolutely! Here’s how we do it:
Before each spin, we generate a random number (0..36) and a salt, then publish the SHA-256 hash of num:salt
After the spin, we reveal the salt, so you can re-hash the exact same num:salt combination.
If the hash matches what we published before the spin, you know the result couldn’t have been altered.
It’s a fresh project built from the ground up—definitely not just a re-skin. One unique twist is that everyone plays on the same table, and it spins every minute so there’s constant, communal action. We also integrated Nostr for easy sign-in and social features, but it’s still very much its own thing.
Quick correction, everyone—I shared the wrong link The real link to our Nostr profile is https://primal.net/roulette
Thanks for sharing the link! It’s great to see more Lightning-based roulette games in the space—competition ultimately benefits everyone. Their approach with no login might be simpler at first glance, but we wanted to offer features like Nostr or LNURL-AUTH logins, in-depth transparency, and a communal table that spins every minute. As for odds, we aim to keep everything fair and verifiable; we welcome anyone to compare. If you spot areas where we can improve, we’d love to hear your suggestions!
That’s a great idea and definitely something we’re interested in exploring down the road. Right now, we went custodial mainly because it simplifies the user experience—especially for smaller amounts where the risk is relatively low. Implementing a fully non-custodial “pay-per-game” model (or something like NWC) introduces a lot of extra complexity and overhead for each spin. It’s not off the table for the future, but for now, we wanted to keep everything smooth, fast, and easy.
Thanks for the suggestion!
