IAs far as a real system goes, you will never see on running on a machine in the US in the near future; in addition to the regulatory BS involved in making magic money useful you would run into all kinds of wonderful gambling laws and regulation.
To exercise my ecash software I had a few goes at this and found at least one problem; payments not honoured. In ten games I obtained two four of a kinds, the first on a 0.25 bet which should have resulted in a payment of 6.25. No payment as received. The second time it was on a wager of 1.00, --> You have won! Your final hand was a Four of a Kind. The winnings for this hand was $25. This sum is being deposited in your CyberWallet right now. <-- again --- no payment received. Admittedly, four other small payments succeeded, with values of less than and equal to 2.00 (for two of a kinds and so on). I assume this is caused by some kind of bug, not any deception on behalf of the operator; but it does illustrate a potental problem as I really don't have any `proof' with which to challenge. Not that I'm worried; it being a beta and all that. But one would expect a `real' system to provide better assurances (wrt. payments being honoured and guaranteed rates of return). Clearly we're experimenting here. mg. -- Matthew Gream (sw/hw engineer) <M.Gream@uts.edu.au> +61 (02) 821-2043
