caballero Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I've recently opened the opened business list, to see 7 businesses open, of which 3, were casinos. ( Long Haul, Swallow Lounge & Casino, Rounders Club. ) Do people actually like casinos that much for there to be so many of them? I personally dislike casinos, and I wish it'd be like the old days where we had 1-3 casinos across the whole city instead of a casino on every corner like a liquor store. I strongly believe that if we changed most of these unnecessary casinos with unique businesses, we'd have more overall roleplay across the server. What are YOUR thoughts on casinos?

DLimit Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Stricter realism within Casinos is all I ask for. Enforce "max bet caps" and make sure that people enter a table with the appropriate amount of chips. Why do PRIVATE poker games have higher standards than legitimate casinos, in the first place? I'd rather attend Don Spaghetti's apartment poker game than a casinos due to it's realism. Don Spaghetti says $20,000 is the table limit? Everyone shows up at the table with $20,000. A state-sanctioned casino, on the other hand? Nothing's enforced. Edited April 28, 2021 by DLimit 2 Link to comment

People just sit down and treat it like a money grinding job. Don Spaghetti should have a word with the casino owners. Link to comment
Beholder Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Different businesses will attract different people. Italians in one, Albanians in the next, off duty cops for the third. W/e. It's nice to be able to pick and choose instead of settling for something out of your characters comfort zone. I think it varies whether or not people acrually roleplay their poker or blackjack games too and I guess I'd like more consistency there. Link to comment
HaveADream Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 PM & LFM don't give gambling licenses or gambling establishments out so no idea where these are coming from. We're trying to limit casinos to 2. Link to comment

The 3 I've named in the post above only form a small percentage of the casinos all around the city. Please look into it. Link to comment

Trupiano Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Don't get me wrong, it's not a great situation but it's much better then it was a few months back when every bar and night club had a poker table in the corner. 1 hour ago, HaveADream said: PM & LFM don't give gambling licenses or gambling establishments out so no idea where these are coming from.

Some casino's do a pretty good job of emulating the casino experience but a lot of them are just low tier gambling dens that turn a quick buck. Casino's bring in HUGE profits over time, I've heard somewhere between 500k - 1 million an opening. There is no reason that money can't be reinvested into the business to expand gambling options and staffing. Link to comment
i dont wanna od in LA Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 are there even any ic laws surrounding gambling? at this point it feels like las vegas because there's barely any taxes, you walk into a casino with 50k on hand and walk out with 500k a couple hours later Link to comment
