Interesting idea. Since we have our own custom built slot machine software, adding something like this in would be relatively trivial all else equal. We can consider something like this when we get around to the slots upgrade later. I'd say more important than anything else, if our slot machines are popular enough when the time comes, we can devote more time and money to their development and vice versa.

Well, for people using non-provably fair licensed softwares, they kind of have to use the predetermined odds that the machine comes with and that is pretty much that. Since we created our own machines, we can manipulate our odds to create all sorts of new machines that users may like with little difficulty. The most difficult part of the process would be simply adding in new themes (which isn't even that hard)... we presently have icy mint blue, minty fresh green and cinnamon hot red. The rest of it, like the numbers part, is relatively easy. And if the slot machine demand is there, we can add in a bunch more options later, so we'll have this discussion in a more real sense later in 2020 I imagine

It is not really that sane to think about acquiring other smaller websites now. That is how the big corporations get bigger and I realize that is something they will have to think about eventually but we are talking about a casino that has about 40 pages on bitcointalk. Even the goliaths of this sector like stake and freebitcoin hasn't done something like that so it would be weird to have a website this small to go out and buy other competition to get bigger.

Definitely, it is a possibility in distant future but mintdice is already awesome as it is and I doubt they need to grow that big that quickly for now. They are already working on getting bigger and better inside and that's all we need and the owner is here constantly talking with us which is the most important part.

I second this. A lot of gaming sites where you can pay with BTC or alts are usually advertised on this forum or Telegram/Discord only. To reach the masses you need to advertise on Twitter, FB etc., especially if you want to attract people to your site who are not that familiar with crypto currencies.

The main problem for this people is that they usually don't own any coins, so sites would have to offer fiat deposits, too, which is very unlikely that they will do

If they want to advertise then they should avoid anything mainstream because 99% of people don't own crypto and won't own it and the exposure will just be a waste. In my opinion I think a good way to advertise a crypto casino is actually on tradingview. I don't know if you realise but I think they allow advertisements for certain sectors that people search for.

So if someone is constantely looking at Crypto charts like BTCUSD or ETHUSD or ETHBTC then the Tradingview will usually display Crypto only ads like Crypto exchanges like Bybit or promoting some type of ICOs.

I think this would be a better resource than Facebook because those advertisements are very expensive and keep in mind this is a very niche market. Just because someone is into Crypto they might not be into gambling and if someone is into gambling they might not be into crypto. Very ultra niche market.

Hence why the signature campaigns are very effective on this forum.

One thing we'd like to do is accept fiat deposits and give people Bitcoin to play with to make the whole process easier for everyone, but actually implementing such a system is nearly impossible (presumably largely because of fraud). Bitpay and all of them only tend to work in the reverse direction where you give them the Bitcoin and they credit with fiat.

Nonetheless, we are exploring options for working with fiat with MintDice. The major goal is to make it crypto-oriented but it's such a smaller market than crypto it's hard to stay that confined as we try to grow.

^ Having some sort of partnership with a "fiat to crypto or vice versa" type of company like bitpay could actually help any casino a lot but partnership on casinos are not easy for those companies. Those companies pay a tax and they are mostly legal not in the "curacao" sense but actually legal in USA (or wherever) and pay taxes there as well and have lawyers and accountants and whatever.

So, telling them to "partner up with casino" would make things harder for those companies like bitpay, it may not be allowed for an american company (or wherever) to actually let a casino get deposits directly via bitpay, law may state that casinos should not have any ties with any "banks" in their country which is why the idea is great but the legality could be difficult.

As far as I know Bitpay only does Crypto to Fiat and not Fiat to Crypto. They basically give you a code you add to your website and it shows the user a QR code and they send Crypto, it automatically converts to Fiat and that fiat is later sent to the company by a wire transfer or direct transfer.

Going Fiat to Crypto is more difficult due to many reasons such as security and laundering laws. This is why many exchanges require KYC. Without KYC is difficult unless the person wants to go to some Bitcoin ATM. But another reason why is because credit card fraud is easy and Crypto is not reversible. This is the main reason why it would be too easy for some hacker to deposit Fiat by Credit card, get Crypto, withdraw Crypto and the charge would get reversed a few days later. Who would be liable.

Hence this forum or maybe some Crypto gambling telegrams or discord is the only way to effectively advertise to seek this niche audience.

Sometimes I consider if signature campaigns are as great as everyone believes it is. We have been doing signature campaigns for over 5 years as a forum now, and people continue to do it as well which tells me if it didn't worked they wouldn't do it neither.

But, as soon as a company or a website gets big enough they stop doing it, so it may not really be great for a place that already has a lot of people but might only work for places that are new and want to get their name heard. It is not sustainable forever if you ask me, if it was we would see places that are 5+ years old still doing signature campaigns but not many of them exists. So, all places that are under 1 or 2 years are doing it to keep their names up and "public awareness" is the only true reason for it.

Maybe signature campaigns are just "that" and nothing more. It only makes people remember you exist and that is how you stay afloat. When you do signature campaign and get new people that is good but when you stop it that means you are leaking customers, there will be more people going out compared to coming it.

However, when you keep doing signature campaigns that may equal to actually making people comeback as well, they might have left for any reason at all and eventually after gambling in other places as well they might think "maybe I should give it another chance" and comeback. Signature campaigns basically keep making see your name over and over again and when you have like a contest or a promotion etc you could showcase that which would make them comeback even faster.
