Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report

Mandleduck from zbd has a presentation on the history of gaming in bitcoin.
Original bitcoin nodes had a half built poker game built in, though removed later.
SatoshiDice was an early betting game, just betting on random numbers from the hash nonce.
7 years ago Mandleduck made saru tobi, an iOS game with bitcoin rewards which was initially accepted but the decision reverted by apple. 1 cent transactions on chain was never going to scale anyway.
Collectable gaming cards on chain were a fashion for a while.
The early things failed in 2018 when transaction fees spiked, and fees became more than gaming rewards could be. Most games moved to ETH, till it to became expensive.
Lightning network is more suitable than on chain transactions but solana and dedicated chains still rule really.
Still today gamers mostly reject bitcoin as a scam and of course app stores don't allow payments outside their own system. So things remain tricky.
