+1 for sure. Sounds like a great way to get the games economy in check as well, as any bets lost by players would surly be claimed by the house.

+1 for the casino idea

Instead of corvus or any faction points being involved, give it a NFZ, an extra-kick-ass SF with bunches of turrets and stuff, and have temp KOS for a few hours. Small NFZ though and the turrets are close to the station.

text based gambling games are super boring. We can't expect anything more than that so I vote no on that idea.

+1 to whole idea as casino

Just so show you that the casino I've been building isn't just vaporware:

These were done on the test server.

Great work Keller...:)

Cheers...

lol interesting

+1 lol looks awesome

Looks excellent. +1. Dont mean to make tall orders but can you make the pokie multiline. Say maybe 3x3 like in shadowgun deadzone. So the pay outs are for the 3 horizontal lines and the diagonals. Also an online jackpot would be good too :) what other gambling mini games are you considering? Will they be available for Android?

All casino games utilize accounts transacted by the casino bank. You set up an account with the bank. All bets are made against your account. All payouts are made back to the account. You may deposit or withdraw against your account at any time. The only caveat at present is you must be in the same sector as the casino.

An additional project which spawned from this was the idea of running branch banks which would be plugins delivered to trusted people. You'd have to in the same sector as a branch, but the same functions apply. An additional feature of the banks will be the ability to wire money to another player, who could receive that money from either the central casino bank or one of the branches.

The central bank is backed up regularly and a log kept, to protect all accounts against error. The current casino bank's assets are underwritten by the PA Guild Bank, to ensure complete liquidity of all accounts.

That's the one you guys used to run on PhoenixVoice in Odia M-14, right?

Yes, the Odia M14 station was a slightly older version of the code. One of the design requirements was always that players should be able to interact with the games through the command line using PMs. The gameplayer was started shortly thereafter, but has been a secret in PA for a while now. I was the only developer on it, so progress was slow.

When I finally find another job, I'll be reupping the PV subby, so we'll have that presence back.

Hope This Helps.
