I'm not a gambling person. In such cases there is one thing I know for sure: You won't throw away your personal money, so for every $ I win you will need to earn one $ (at least).

Another problem: How do I know, that your program is anything like playing fair? You could set up chances in program from anything like 1/100, 1/100,000 or no win at all. How do you want to built up a really great reputation for your customers to trust you on this?

The puzzle would even complicate matters. It would need to generate a new problem for every customer, otherwise you'll soon find the solution on the web and everybody will win. Or people will write bots to cheat about it.

You have pointed out a few things I have been working with already. The first one I have covered, but that goes a lot more into the design.

To your second point, I am not sure. I obviously am not in the business to cheat people of their money, but I knew that could be a barrier initially. Any suggestions on building that trust? I believe I could be transparent with how the game is built without opening methods to cheat, but I would need to be sure and even then I think some would be skeptical.

The game itself is a shared real-time experience, so this would not be an issue.
