Typical big government type.

I have no idea what you're attempting to communicate.
If you're asking why "government" (read: GM) intervention would be necessary in such a system, it is because the average player has no ability to check such statuses. The closest real world analogy to this is title companies (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_insurance) who are allowed to freely parse government records to discern ownership. Such public access would not be allowed here.

Do you think about what you write, or do you just write it, and say a prayer, and then Tebow when no one laughs at you?
A casino will only siphon casual player's plat, as they hope to maybe get lucky and get to be able to compete with the top-heavy accounts and mudflated economy. That is basic. That is what real life casinos are for.
Rich people do not hustle slot machines for kicks. They do not need to be a sucker and hope they get lucky; they are *already* rich.

The casino he is suggesting would pay out in extremely rare and otherwise unobtainable items. Yes, those playing (the very rich) would be well informed of its plat sink nature, but they view it as worthwhile given the potential payoff in terms of unique and otherwise unobtainable items.

I'm starting to wonder if you read what he wrote.
