My idea is to add a casino in PWI I think its a great idea to keep players busy and motivated playing this game, something to do while their waiting for squads and PWI will make money from it so it benifits all. They already have casino boss in lost city, I think it would be a great idea if they were to use that for a casino. Doesnt have to be huge just a few games slots, blackjack and poker all heavily in the house favor meaning PWI will make money off it like they do with auctions and auction houses etc. Make the maxium bet 1 million coins so nobody can exploit it and also so nobody loses their life savings on it. and maxium bid on poker like 200k per hand/round of betting. The unique feature would be the poker tables where players would be playing against other players with the house getting a percentage of the bets each round. For the slot machines they dont even have to give coins for the top jackpots could be a nice in game item or 100 packs or something they could get creative with the ideas for prizes. It would give players another option of things to do while their waiting for squads or after they have finished their dailys and gives players a chance to be social around the blackjack table or slot machines and best part for PWI it makes them money its a coin sink thats get players to enjoy the game more and spend real money to get more in game coins. And to stop tickets or hassle resulting from the casino add a warning label while entering the casino basicly saying PWI not responcible if you get disconnected or PWI servers drop so players know that if one of those things happen they just lose that bet and with the maxium bets being so low nobody should be losing any sleep over a lost bet especially knowing the risks ahead of time and that would keep the casino hassle free for PWI and a great addition to the game. so I would like to see if the players would support this idea and maybe PWI may put it in the game at some point I know they have considered doing it in the past.

    Why would anyone do that when they can just play Blackjack, etc. on any random site?

    Just buy packs if you really want to gamble in here.

    The difference is you would be playing for in game coin and in game prizes. Packs dont offer another way to be social or the entertainment of being in casino with other in game players trying to beat the house together or playing against each other. Whats nice also is those who arent intrested in it never even have to enter casino. Its win- win for everybody PWI makes money, it gives players of the game more options, may even cut down on trolling and wc spam as those players would have another option while their waiting for a squad or instance to come that they need. Packs are merely open them and you get what you get, while casino games have a skill element to them, you still have to be lucky but there is some skill involved where as packs are just chance without any skill coming into play.

    I actually wouldn't mind an option for gambling w/ other players, there's actually quite a lot of waiting around in this game compared to others.

    Internet poker is actually pretty ****ing hard to make decent money now, but just judging from general player intelligence on my server, the amount of fish on HL server would prob be unreal...

    On that note, what I REALLY want is a way to refine my gears from anywhere on the map instead of having to be near an elder.

    PWI needs a good coin sink and did you know that there is a casino boss (NPC) in Lost City?

    Maybe it means that there was one casino after all, but it was removed like the regretted housing system in our version.
    The Untamed being gamblers? Haha, they sure had ways to have fun, after all. b:laugh

    I like that you are trying to keep this game going but....

    The current crop of PWE employees can't keep the game, promotions, web rewards... functioning 24/7. What on Earth makes you think they could add this on without fudging up it in a royal manner? Seriously, you want a PWI Poker Rollback to happen?

    Also I am sure legal issues come into play when they have kids putting money in game to gamble, I can go deeper into this if needed.

    There always were gambling houses in history, even if they weren't what you can see in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. :P
