The gamble revamp


Recommended Posts

Supporting the suggestion. It's been far too long without any attention being placed on gambling considering the amount of interest casinos raise. It's my hopes the devs will soon start implementing any kind of additions or fixes to the current system, even if they are minor.

The gambling scene can be very fun if you're into that kind of roleplay and currently the script surrounding this is very lacking in terms of providing the potential that motivates people to roleplay so you have my full support as it makes sense to fix the script and improve it.

The gambling community in GTAW has tried to shine a light on this for years. I have been running a casino for over a year and I really think some of these suggestions would drastically improve the RP revolving around casinos/gambling. I would just like further highlight some things:

 

1) Blackjack script is pretty good, but players land blackjacks surprisingly often. I have seen players land 4 blackjacks in a row...Not impossible but statistically speaking, its pretty low and shouldn't happen that often.

 

2) Poker script needs to allow dealers/table hosts a way to cap the tables. By setting stack limits, casino owners will have more dominion over tables and will allow the possibility to open multiple poker tables with different table caps. This will only provide a more comfortable gambling experience for those players who cant compete against 500,000$ stacks. Just like in blackjack, allow the host to dictate the limits. 

 

3) Allow people to spectate poker (just like /spectable with blackjack). I don't know how this has not been implemented yet...Casino staff and casino clients should be able to spectate the live poker games. This will allow casino staff to further monitor poker tables.

 

4) There is talk that revolves around buy in fees. Some people don't like them but it's the only way casinos can rake some money from the poker table. I like how the OP mentioned a raking percentage per hand (1-10%), this would be a great idea! Right now there is no point in having a poker dealer as he is simply considered another player by the script. With this raking system, a dealer would have greater importance and greater rp participation as he could focus on dealing cards and collecting rakes.

I disagree with the rake, no way. Just like any other business, a gambling parkour or a casino can make money from table fees, entrances, roleplay script which pays hourly and bars. 
i do agree however with minimum and maximum buyins. But it can be a problem because the poker player base is maybe maximum 15 people a night where irl there can be hundreds of poker players making it worth it to have several different stake tables. People want to play with 25 grand and cant afford 75 grand for according stakes.

 

Idk there are so many positives and negatives. Biggest issue is people abusing the gabling icon to disappear from map and then camp outside casinos to rob pokerplayers. There should be a deposit to bank system in a casino for a fee so that particular venue can make extra money.
