3Dice casino - Any thoughts?

[3Dice]

Thank you lojo, Rusty, Sodax77,

If I were to make any suggestion to them it would be to establish a relationship with an auditing firm, "All software has met strict criteria to guarantee fairness for our users..." just isn't enough for me. I am impressed with their transparency and their rep's proactive approach to this thread.

Thank you lojo, we do have this on our planning, it is however not an overnight venture and needs to be handled with the propper attention and care.

For complete immersion and entertainment this casino blows away anything I've seen on the web, hands down.

and thank you for your kind words !

Four slots in total to play suggests that they are "not quite with the times" as regards online gaming. Still, feedback such as this should help them improve things on that front.
That said, the Pharoe slot is excellent (Crisp graphics and nice animations along with nice samples creating the right ambiance) and 20 free spins with a *6 multiplier as reward for 3 scatters offers the potential for some nice hits.

Thank you Rusty, the dev company is working hard on creating more video slots as we speak, but we do set quality demands that disallow 'copy - change some symbols and paytable' development. Each of our slot machines is carefully thought-through and a lot of attention is spent to the design.
We hope that with time this will set us apart even further from the competition, and more over that playing slots at 3Dice will simply be a more enjoyable experience.

Lets hope this quality benchmark in casino design is backed up over the long run and they have a successful venue.
I'm off to play

"printed, framed and sent to the development company ".

And one more thumbs up to everyone at casinomeister for their honest consideration, and kind words.

The 3Dice team.

Excellent news.
You are obviously aware of the dissatisfaction of many players with certain software providers and there insistance on churning out clone after clone.
Quality is much more important quantity in this instance.

No problems downloading or installing 3Dice. I installed to a partition rather than root drive. My C: drive has 10 G free space, the drive I installed to has 2.6 G free space.

The games will open and I can play but it is agonizingly slow, and pretty much unbearably so. There was nothing downloading in the background, and I had no other apps running. For instance, playing blackjack, it takes a full 4 seconds from the time I click the Deal button for cards to appear. On the multi-line slots, I click Max Bet and it takes a full 5 -10 seconds for the first reel to blur, then all reel positions simply change *poof* rather than spinning to new position.

I experienced no obvious problems regarding interaction w/ Norton's AV or Firewall during download or play.

I played in free, unregistered mode.

I am assuming that my computer simply doesn't have enough 'juice'.

System specs:

1.5mbp DSL

WinXP Pro SP2

Pentium4 1600MHZ
1.59 GHz, 768 MB of Ram

Sodax was paid within 1 minute - WOW. It certainly puts other casinos to shame. Lets hope its sustainable when a high volume of players come in.

I like the Egyptian slot, although some of the animations that come up when you get 3 of a kind are annoying - would rather see that for 5 of a kind. It would also be nice to see a choice of coin size as the max bet is 250 x .01 at present.

Im gonna give them a try next week and Ill provide some feedback.

Hi Mousey.
I assume other Casinos run fine on your PC?
What you did not list in your spec is a graphics card.
If all you have is an onboard graphics chip to help your cpu do the work of drawing then I would imagine you would suffer very low frame rates.
You can see what your FPS is in the bottom left of the screen in the 3dice tab in your taskbar.
If this is below 10 then that is your problem.
If you have a reasonable graphics card then check for the latest drivers and make sure you are using dirx 9.0c as the software should be at least playable with a moderate spec such as yours.
If you need any advice just pm me.

All other casinos run fine.

I have a nVidia Riva TNT2 (64) graphics card. I haven't checked for new drivers lately.

The frame rate in the 3Dice tab is showing as 0.24fps.

I am using Directx 9.0c and ran the diagnostics which said eveything is fine.

I'll check for new nVidia drivers tomorrow.

Thanks, Rusty.

Review for your card >

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

I would seriously consider upgrading your video card. I think that's where the problem lies...


You could try to lower your refresh rate and desktop size (Down to 800x600) and see if that helps any..Even so, with only 32mb of memory, it won't run (good) higher end 3d games, etc...

What gives, in this case, is the NVIDIA Riva TNT2 Model 64 chipset, with a honking 32 megabytes of video memory. The Model 64 is a cut-down version of the full TNT2; it retains the TNT2's 128 bit data interface, but has only a 64 bit memory interface. In English, this means the Model 64 is notably slower for 3D than the "real" TNT2, but retains outrageous 2D performance - high speeds and high refresh rates at resolutions higher than 1600 by 1200 and high colour depths are easy for the Model 64, although these resolutions are of little use on monitors with a diagonal of less than 21 inches.

Also do a complete (defender,avg, et al) security check on your system and use something like crap cleaner. i have a 'slow pipe' here, 1.5mm dsl, but i keep the registry clean. (ccleaner, regedit, but crap cleaner works fine. Clear your cache, go to issues and back up before 'fixing')

Also I assume you aren't condensing your compartmental drives? I don't condense. Defragging? That's my guess if the video card review doesn't do it. A healthy system is a happy player

When all else has failed on a clean system I've gone to pcpitstop and let them active x their little hearts out (never click'd an offer there)
If you are on cable or clearstream and not landline dsl/adsl it could have been timing?

I hope you get the connectivity worked out so you can give your opinion. I was blown away by the very difference of this casino. Long time coming.

Best to you

Well, let's just say that I'm not throwing a new $200 graphics card into a 4+ yr old system -- especially for only one casino. And since I'm done playing for real anymore.... What's the point? I'm saving my pennies for a new system. Of course we got shut out of casinos before I could earn the extra pennies.

Screen resolution is at 800 x 600.

Oh.... And I defrag C: once every 2 weeks -- or after a big Windows Update, or after I do a bunch of installs/uninstalls. I will check that in a moment, tho.

Still having my coffee... Guess I'll go check the nVidia site.

I have integrated graphic card... so i get 2-5 fps (at 3Dice)*,
even latest DirectX and 1024x768

But... i still won, lol

...less time to lose


*minimize window, so u will see fps directly

 

[Mousey]

Did my usual Sunday morning maintenance -- defrag, clear out temp files, etc. Checked for updated nVidia drivers and I have the most recent for my graphics card.

Nope... no better. Uninstalled the casino.

 

[Rusty]

lol 0.24 FPS now that is sllllllowwwww.
Idealy you would want 60+ but for a Casino anything around 25+ will probably surfice.
It is defiantely your video card that can not cope mousey.
By the way you could get a new pci expresss MB and bottom end pci express card with an athlon 64 processor that would run the software easily and all this for less 100

I'm throwing this p.o.s. HP into the garbage bin as soon as I can. I like HP printers and scanners, but have had nothing but trouble from HP computers and will never own another. And I'm sure not upgrading this one.

oki doki
But the brand is not important it's the bits inside that count.

My gut feeling is these guys are serious contenders.

I played at 3Dice a month ago. My gut feeling says the same: they are ok!

Nice software, competent support and fast pay-out (I used Moneybookers).

 

[Rusty]

Fast payout I would'nt know about after my first deposit yielded about 20% payout. Quick uninstall though

 

[pstnpstn]

If you are you curious about payment:

1. Starting balance = 20 Euro - 02/16/07 - 16:11
2. Ending balance = 840 Euro - 02/16/07 - 17:33
3. Paid - NETeller = 840 Euro - 02/16/07 - 17:34

I like it! Thanks 3Dice!

congratulation!
it's nice result !!

I played and used the 110% signup bonus last night - had a good amount of play for my money but busted out on the video poker. There are heaps and heaps of VP games I have never heard of with various paytables, but none of them seemed to 'play' right to me.....maybe I had a bad session but the results on the multi-hand weren't what I expected. The graphics/effects for the multi-hand are very well presented and designed, but I cant say it is to my taste.

Still, I like the slots but I wish they would have a choice of coin size - $2.50 max bet on the Egypt one and .90c max on the animal one seems a bit silly.

If more slots with free spins etc were added I would certainly play here again, even if just for the slot play.

I did not have agood experience, the only game I wanted to play was the 25 line one, deposited and then I was informed it was not available??? I play the squirrel game instead, what a piece of S**T, I have closed my account.

Just an update, support was very good, they gave me a sorry bonus and explained that the game was down for a minimal time, hopefully things will be better this time.
