Questions about new Stake Update

[forster82]

Heyo! I'm not quite the smartest person so I have a few questions about this new update. 
1. When I logged in it asked me something about rotating seeds. What is this?
2. What is the "Edge %" below the casino games?
3. What happened to Mines and Roulette?
4. Whats this about "rains" in chat?
Thats all ❤️

1. seeds is number that the server and your computer generate to decide the results of the game (and you can check the results once you change the seed). it need to rotate the server seeds due to security reason so it tell you

2. edge % is probability that the casino will win from you statically, for example in roulette the edge is 2.7% which come from the chance of you to win either black or red (which is 18/37) for the 2x payout, meant the casino will have 1/37 advantage over you (1/37 = 2.7%), the same goes for dice which you chance of winning the 2x payout is 49.5% so every 100 roll you'll lose 1% money on average

3. no idea

4. random giveaway by bot

1) because there were important changes made to Stake, you had to change seeds on your first login after the update. Normally you only change seeds when you want.

2) Lolipant already explained it very well, house edge is statistically what the casino will win after a very big amount of rolls.

3) Mines and Roulette were out of service for some time while some changes were made. Now they are working OK.

4) The rainbot is a feature that is new since the last upgrade. Players that are wagering are randomly tipped by rainbot.
