Located in Fleabottom, in the dinghy heart of King's Landing, the House of Chance has created a unique game combining both luck and knowledge. The first-of-its-kind game allows a player to achieve an astonishing 1% edge in their favor, with knowlegeable play. Built into the legendary Iron Throne of Aegon the Conqueror, the game is a slot machine where the slots represent the 9 great Houses of Westeros. Players at the House of Chance first choose which of the great Houses they belong to, and when a winning sequence of patterns includes their house, the player will be awarded a "House Bonus" payout on top of their normal winning payout. But the payout does not stop there. After a "House Bonus" the player will be presented with a question about the history and lore of Westeros, allowing them to win an even bigger "Question Bonus" payout. Questions range from easy to very hard and their difficulty depends on the type of patterns the player spun in the slot machine. An example question is shown below:
Notice that questions are in multiple choice format and that there is a timer which gives the player a limited amount of time to answer the question. The timer ensures that players with the knowledge of Maester will be able to answer the question, but those who wish to search the scrolls of the Citadel in search of the answer will not have enough time. The questions come from the largest online collection of Game of Thrones trivia. Players at the House of Chance may also contribute to the collection of trivia by creating their own questions. Any questions created by a player that are accepted into the collection of trivia will result in a "question bounty" of 1000 gold Dragons (the currency of Westeros) to the player who submitted it. Gold dragons may be converted to and from bitcoins at a rate of 1 bitcoin = 1 million gold Dragons. A player will also be acknowledged for creating a question whenever it is shown to other players in the House of Chance who obtain a House Bonus while playing the game.
With knowledgeable play, a player at the House of Chance can have an edge as high as 1% in their favor - so in the long term they should be able to beat the House. The more you know about Game of Thrones, the better you will be able to do.
