Ever since Magic Dice hit the scene, gambling dApps are coming out of the woodwork. This one is fairly simple but really fun.
It is called MoonSteem and the idea is you bet how high Steem will moon. The rounds are very quick and can last 1-10 seconds. Most of the time it moons from 1x to 10x, but in some cases, it has gone up as high as 7000x. The longer you hold out, the bigger the return, but at some point, it will stop and if you haven't cashed out before the drop you lose it all.
Right now you cannot deposit so you can only bet with the free 1000 Steemies you get for signing in. 1000 Steemies is equivalent to 0.001 Steem. So the game works with very big numbers and very small amounts. You won't get rich but it is a lot of fun.
Once you login to MoonSteem, any upvotes you give to the @moonsteem account will give you some additional Steemies to get started. This is a huge help as there is no way to load your bankroll as deposits are disabled.
If you refer someone to the game, you get a portion of the games profit and loss based on how much they spend.
The game has auto betting built-in and seems to work great.
One thing I like about the game is you can watch everyone's bet and see who goes for the moon.
A few rounds I was watching it mooned pretty high and you can see people cheering in the chat. One case I saw one user bet 35x (which means they would win around 32 times their bet) and it cut at 34.8x or something. Some people go for the big 30x or 100x bets, and some are just taking the small 1.2x-2x bets that are steady winners. Everyone feels like a high roller when you can easily bet thousands of Steemies as they are only worth 0.000001 Steem each.
I love how you can check out your profile as well as others and see how they do.
Here's mine.
You can also check out the leader board and see the top 100.
Most everyone here seeded their account by voting on @moonsteem posts as everyone starts at 1,000 and that's the only way to get a bigger bankroll to work with.
It's different, it's fun. Check it out.
For the next week, it is only for fun, you can withdraw but you cannot deposit. So there is nothing to lose.
