I am slightly wary of cryptocurrency in general let alone gambling with them right now such as poker and this bitcoin dice I just heard of right here. I know it supposed to be considered untracable money, but its value can fluctuate, scandals with the LiteCoin, and now the IRS getting involved.
Thought online poker was wonderful until SpyGate destroyed it in the US.

The new WOF blows. I've had my fill of Scratchers--all of them--until August's tickets are out. 12 $10 tickets (028 to 039), 28-37, 39 being duds and 38 being a $15 winner. Five $5 tickets (004-000) with four duds and 000 winning $6. And five $2 tickets with a separate $5 and $3 winner. $155 spent, $29 returned. The California Lottery can seriously f*** itself.

Bad start for everyone with WoF but that outcome is beyond horrific, sorry to hear ChaCha33. It is expected to have more lower tier prizes than before, but the results say otherwise.

A friends made a suggestion that the WOF odds are bad because who knows how much they had to pay to license of the WOF name logo etc.
Yes, scratcher odds are getting worse. Thank goodness CA Gold is still available for the moment. Will have to try the Piggy Banks.
Today is the Quarterly Scratcher Drawing submissions ends.
The royalties are most likely the case for slightly worse overall payout despite the higher quantity of $50 and $100 prizes. Then again, all $10 games have horrible odds for $5k, $10k, or $20k prizes.
Casinos lose out on some revenue as a small fraction of each slot pull for the IGT Wheel of Fortune jackpot slot goes to the associations that hold the intellectual property. It seems like there is a trend going with TV, movie, or game show theme for the penny slot machines since it attracts the players, but not favorable to the payout. I think scratchers are inspired by this, they used to do baseball, football, and Warner Bros music in the past.

Long time no see, congrats CatScratch. First time I've ever seen a big winner at the end of a ticket roll #79
Thanks CAScratcher20. Yeah, its been a while. I've been staying away and struggling with quitting. I even gave my debit card to my girlfriend to hold so I don't have cash on me. But every now and then, I will run into a few bucks and play.
