Would be cool if it got added eventually. I remember Brad (I think it was Brad) saying in an interview that they had wanted to add gambling NPCs to the casino rooms on the second floor in Highkeep but never got around to it (I think the quote is in the IRC logs thread that's currently going in the Screenshots forum). So technically you could argue it was a planned classic feature that they never got around to.

I'll tell you what tipped the staff over the edge, or it happened very close to this story...



Someone was running a 1/1000 chance to get a fungi, you could roll for 100pp and if you hit the lucky number the "dealer" was looking for, you won yourself a fungi!

Players who might not have even had the fungi were gambling that people wouldn't hit, and when someone did... and the "dealer" inevitably had "connection issues" and thats a whole headache/petition/RMT concern/etc.

So yeah, no gambling except for a safe website where I occasionally entertain myself. Nilbog did at one stage think about adding a casino bot, to help as a platsink as much as anything else... but it was before Velious was completely released, not classic, effort required, didn't happen for many reasons (yet).

It's true that integrating an official gambling feature poses significant challenges for game developers. Balancing innovative content with player safety and fairness is paramount. This delicate equilibrium requires careful consideration of ethical standards, regulatory compliance, and the potential impact on the gaming community. Ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment must always take precedence, even if it means foregoing certain features. The priority should always be the well-being and trust of the players, which ultimately sustains long-term success and a positive reputation for the developers.

What is this? Is that where you watch traffic for an hour, but just a little bit at a time?

Rolling is already a form of gambling and it’s pretty normal and agreed upon in most groups as the standard way to distribute loot
