When most people hear about Bitcoin they are usually turned off by the whole “crypto” part of the process. They are either scared because of the mysteriousness over who created it or they are unsure about it because they think it is illegal (thanks to Silk Road making the headlines). For the most part, the average person on the street has no interest in Bitcoin. Those people are not the target audience for this article so we will let them live their lives blissfully unaware of who creates/controls the United States dollar (they still think it is the United States government, I am sure). For a lot of people here on Steemit, getting Bitcoin to invest or use is sometimes not as easy as they would like it to be. Maybe you don’t have a credit card to use with services that offer buying Bitcoin with them. Maybe you are unsure of how your bank will react when buying Bitcoin through an exchange- there are still some banks that will flat-out close your account for such actions. That leaves doing something fun to earn some Bitcoin. No, not a faucet that you have to check every 30 to 60+ minutes. How about earning, admittedly not a lot of, Bitcoin playing games? Yep, you can.
The Bittles by Meat Games
This is a puzzle game that is in the style of Sega’s Chu Chu Rocket which was released on the Sega Dreamcast. Here you have to guide your little bug to the exit after collecting all of the Bitcoin scattered throughout the level. This can get extremely challenging as you play.
Available on Android via Google Play, iTunes, Windows, Linuxand Macintosh
An expanded review is available on my website- Gravis Ludus
Next up is BitTacToe by Joshi Viral H
This is simply the classic Tic Tac Toe game but with the chance to win some Bitcoin while you play. The rules are simple, just get three of your icons in a row (up, down, left, right, or diagonal) before your opponent and you win.

SaruTobi by MandelDuck
Remember Donkey Kong King of Swing? SaruTobi is similar to that, or maybe an endless runner except you are swinging through the level and trying to collect items (such as Bitcoins). Much like endless running games you are going to be tapping the screen at the right time to progress. Swing and earn.

You say a little bit coin. How much can you win playing each of these games?
There are a handful more games that pay some Bitcoin that I plan on covering in the future. I have made a few bucks just piddling with these games checking them out. My favorite was delisted from Google Play so I didn't include it- it was a side scrolling shooter like Gradius.
You won't get rich off these but it is a nice diversion. Besides, how much has any gamer earned off playing Mario or Sonic?
