Well was bored and started thinking :). We have the pvp arena and scavenging which both pretty much depend on how lucky you are. So why not a gambling hall.

You could have card games, shell games, dice, a form of slot machine as well as other games of chance.Prizes could be any thing from gold to items found in game depending on what you wager. Since with pretty much any game of chance the odds are in the house's favor it'd be a good gold sink and would also bring in more donations with people buying fsp to either turn into gold or if some games of chance took fsp to play.

Just a little idea. I used to code a long ago for a game and we constantly looked ideas for gold sinks as well as ways to reduce item count to relieve stress on the server and gambling seemed to work the best.

Not with in game currency used for the games. I'm not talking about the same thing as the online poker sites lol. A lot of games have gambling in them.

what he said HCS cant do this even WITH their own game currency...They used to have the lottery and you had to buy tickets but then that was considered as gambling so they changed it to the gods

Yeah gambling license was a problem.

I guess that's what happened to Pokemon as well. :(

It would be a great idea if it wasn't for that damn license. :lol:
