- Blockchain games store bets, results or game logic on a public ledger that cannot be altered, letting players verify outcomes, as in hash and crypto games.
- A smart contract is self-executing blockchain code that can run a game's rules automatically, taking bets and paying out without a middleman.
- No.
How blockchain is used
Blockchain games store key data — bets, results or game logic — on a public ledger that cannot be changed after the fact. This is the basis of hash games and many crypto games.
Smart contracts
A smart contract is self-executing code on a blockchain that can run a game's rules automatically — taking a bet and paying out without a middleman.
Transparency & provable fairness
The main benefit is verifiability: outcomes tied to public transactions can be checked, the idea behind provably fair gaming.
Limits to keep in mind
Blockchain does not remove the house edge, and transactions are irreversible. It adds transparency, not better odds. Play responsibly — see responsible gambling tools.
