Decentral Games Casino Night

We will be hosting weekly Decentral Games Casino Nights every Friday at 9pm UTC, with our first one on September 25 in Tominoya. Cruise by to help us test, hang with friends, and give valuable feedback so we can build better games for you. Hop in our Discord voice chat during the event for some banter.


It wouldn't be a proper casino night without some friendly competition, so the top 5 high scorers (winnings) for the evening will receive the following prizes:


1st place - Decentral Games Wearable

2nd place - 250 MANA 

3rd place - 150 MANA

4th place - 100 MANA

5th place - 50 MANA

To be eligible for the competition, you must register by posting your Ethereum address in the #competitions channel in our Discord before the start of the event.


There will also be a bonus raffle to award 50 MANA to 15 lucky winners! To receive a ticket for the raffle, you must: 


  • have a Decentraland avatar name

  • play 10 hands of blackjack

  • hit the gong


If you tweet a picture of yourself at Tominoya and tag @decentralgames, you will receive an extra ticket for the raffle, which of course doubles your chances of winning.


You can RSVP to the event here and add it to your calendar. 


New Scoreboard

We’ve also integrated the new blackjack game with our scoreboard API, so now you can view the top scorers in all games, blackjack, roulette, and slots up in Tominoya casino and on our website if you go to the games tab and click leaderboard:

See you on the 25th in Tominoya! In the meantime, make sure to get some practice here.

DecentralGames - Why crypto gambling has failed to take off…yet

  The original Bitcoin 0.1.0 repository even included a framework to create a digital poker game, yet this never came to fruition. There’s a theory that this gambling app was meant to provide utility to the bitcoin currency and bootstrap its value when it had no initial use.  A clear use case Providing sudo-anonymous and borderless peer to peer exchange of value coupled with a decentralized virtual machine, Ethereum seemed perfectly poised to usher in a new era of online gambling - one where open source game logic ensured players of the fairness of games.  In 2017, 167 casino & gambling ICOs raised a collective $640 million, using smart contracts as a pitch for transparency of game logic, self custody, low fees, and frictionless gameplay. And yet, today gambling Dapp usage is miniscule, even overshadowed in volume by collective trading cards and video game digital items. So - what happened?

Why We Chose Matic Network to Scale Our Games

  By porting our Ethereum contracts to the Matic sidechain, our games benefit from near-instant transactions and higher transactional throughput, while maintaining the trustlessness, fairness, and decentralization of blockchain architecture. Layer 1 - Ethereum The current state of the Ethereum root chain only supports 25 transactions per second and often takes 15-20 seconds to reach finality in order to maintain its decentralization. As a result, any games featuring transactions signed by the user are unbearably slow, oftentimes too slow to even maintain user interest.  For example, our slot machine game deployed on-chain on the Ropsten test network requires output from the contract to determine the outcome of the play, which is then sent to our Decentraland app to display in the 3D Metaverse. If game logic lives on the root Ethereum blockchain, on-chain finality requires over 15 seconds from the initial transaction to determine the outcome.  From a player perspective, t...
