I can't speak for anyone else, but since I've returned to the forum a month ago from a year and a half break the hack game and bytes system has 100% kept me coming back on the forum daily.
The game is great because since it's so new it gives people an incentive to catch on early and try to be top of the leaderboards and while you await a cool down there's almost no reason not to "view new" and see what else is happening on the forum.
Bytes are nice because blackjack and slots are fun - regardless of the GUI (lol). Sure I'm at a net loss but it's mindless entertainment and they're still cheap so no reason not to keep playing, especially with knowing the money is going towards further development of the site.

That's the full intent of the Hack Game. When the project is fully realized and integrated into HF it's going to change everything in ways members don't even see yet. Just as the HF Contracts system has imho altered our Marketplace so will the Hack Game alter forum activity. There is a lot of things we can do to integrate the play with the forums.
More is coming.

Wish this was out a week or so ago whenever I bought 50 $25 cards :P
Will buy this whenever I need more bytes. :)

Yay I love hints at new updates :) one thing that upsets me about the game is by the time the timer is finished I've forgotten about it completely :( I've wasted so much xp forgetting to check it xD

I understand that. We MIGHT do something about it. :)

Maybe add an item in the shop that you can buy named "Time Booster", and skip the timer to retry again?
Bleh
Since there is the guaranteed win of at least 5,000 Bytes, then I suppose it's a pretty cool card.
Definitely a high roller card nevertheless.
I am very curious to see what kind of results this new scratchcard brings to everyone and especially some of my friends who are practically gambling addicts. 😏
Cool addition Omni, HF only continues to become better and better. <3
bugga told me I'm a cutie

Idk, but i think he got about +350k bytes in total from them.

Holy shit, that's honestly right around the $2.8k mark for that amount of Bytes if he were to sell them all at once to the right person.
That's just speculation as always however.
That's actually really cool to hear that someone is doing that well off of the scratchers, makes me happy for him. 😉
Huge congrats Shelob!

If you check his bytes history, he put most of it in the hf game

Oh you mean to convert it for game cash?
Or is there something else beneficial by putting it into the hf game that I don't know about?

Use them in the crypto game to try and double them, gamble more, buy crew or just sell them

Seems like he won it from Bytes card, not from the paid $100 one.
