( A small "real-time" speed .gif of gamblers testing their luck on www.Steem-Roller.com )
Overnight the under construction beta version of www.Steem-Roller.com saw a significant increase to the bankroll as a handful of investors and gamblers went head to head, ultimately leading to a victory for the users choosing to bankroll the site during the experimental beta testing phase of the site, was wild to watch!
While initially the intention wasn't to have a free-for-all or completely open to public beta testing phase so far it seems to be doing alright with a number of bugs being found and patched, primarily to do with chat functions and GUI element scaling.
Besides some minor annoyances caused by GUI bugs and some aire of confusion as to how exactly the site works it seems that feedback from users that have swung by www.Steem-Roller.com to come check out the sites features have been positive.

Steem-Roller.com Bug List
At this stage in development feedback is important and helps shape the look and feel of the experience on the site as well as sets the development roadmap for future versions. Lots of neat ideas been tossed around for the site and may end up making it into future incarnations of the site but for now the goal is to 100% finish the functionality originally planned for launch and then continue on from there.
You can now (once again) click usernames in chat which should open up a menu allowing you to tip other users STEEM.. as well as direct private message and view their gambling stats, however the last 2 functions are still being implemented.
Tipping however should work and their is no fee on tipping from user to user making it perfect for off chain transfers of STEEM from user to user if that's a functionality one is looking to utilize. The only records of tips are kept in a server side database and under no circumstance would the site ever share this information.
Going to be working on some chat and moderator functionality throughout today as well as also be trying to polish up both the mobile & tablet GUI rendering as those are a few items high up on the list of shit to get done to get the site ready for launch.
The site since going to a public open beta using real STEEM crypto currency has rolled over 1,500,000 bets ( yes, that's 1.5 MILLION ) for gamblers and had nearly 2400 STEEM wagered. Considering the site isn't even launched yet and is still under development one can only speculate how much betting volume and usage the site will have once it's fully battle tested, operational, launched and marketed.
Given that investing is open to all STEEM holders and requires no special tokens to receive dividends or such nonsense it is very likely that www.Steem-Roller.com will become one of the more popular investment options for the STEEM community.
Being able to invest with up to 50x leverage while avoiding the restrictions of having to power up or wait for delegations to return should be a great success as an investment vehicle for idle STEEM.
Although the site is currently under development and I claim absolutely ZERO fucking liability to the any of the goings on within said site during the beta development phase if you're not afraid of checking out experimental websites or possibly trying your luck at gambling, investing or both you're more than welcome to visit:
NOTE: The mobile and tablet versions of the sites are still pretty rough & jiggity jank
Go to the site and register an account then go below and comment your www.Steem-Roller.com username, then drop by the Steem-Roller trollbox / chat and I'll tip you a Steem cent (0.01) to come test out the gambling or investing on the site.
The site allows sub Steemcents betting up to the 8th decimal place allowing users to gamble STEEMtoshis (0.00000001 STEEM) as well as receive investment profits on smaller investments. So that free Steemcent for testing is up to 1000000 rolls if you decided to roll the smallest amount allowed on the site. ( use x990000 odds! )
My apologies to anyone encountering GUI errors that prevent them from utilizing site functions. If you find bugs not contained on the list above please let me know by posting here, posting in the SR Trollbox or finding me on Discord!
Thanks for Reading, Voting and the Support!
