Everyone I know called it the casino, it was in Shadowhaven. You bought coins for 100ish pp each and handed them in, you would win food, illusion potions, less commonly Prayers of Life all sorts of other random things, the big prizes though were Golden Tickets which you could give to a particular NPC that would net you Earthshakers, Scimitar of the Mistwalker, and a few other items that escape me at the moment.

You can actually win a DE guise from it.

...and, more notably, Ton Po's Bo Stick of Understanding.

Played a DE Wizard and had a Dru alt back then. Didn't really care about those items probably why I had forgotten, also mosscovered twig?.

There was also an extremely rare set of gloves with like 50 PR and a clicky I think?

Do those exist on this server?

i think in LoY sony put a game controlled lotto in the Bazzar zone i think. Its been so long but I do remember a system like that they put in to basically eat plat.
Im sure others will help me recall things correctly

Yes that was it - I never played because I was never a plat whore but I always liked the idea. By LoY the plat situation was getting out of hand, bazaar items were all costing at least 10kpp and..yeah, good idea in theory [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Someone should find out what the odds of getting a fungi tunic from that ingame casino in shadow haven was. And have people pay you 100p, then /rand 40000 or whatever the odds were, and if they get whatever 1 number you designate out of it, they win a fungi (provided you have one to gamble with)

(oh and golden tickets were rare....i spent over 200k in 100pp increments to get a guise, a ruby BP, beer goggles, deluxe sewing kit, and a lot of garbage food)

I ran a casino for awhile called Mandalaybay, with the Casino guild tag. It can be very profitable, but anyone who remembers mine knows that I gave almost everything away to random people through /roll contests or whatever.

I did roulette as my main starting game, with actual casino odds. /random 0 37, 0 and 37 being the house numbers 0 and 00. You could play it just like regular roulette, combining bets etc. Betting a number and hitting it paid out 35x, and I paid that out many times while I was running it. Most people just played even/odd which was far and away the best odds casino game on the server at the time.

The casinos that do the 550+ games, with 990+ only paying out like 3 or 4x the bet are just obnoxious. Having to hit a 1/100 to get paid out 4x? Ridiculous.

Over time, I had a LOT of action and make a few hundred k in plat. The keys are that you need to start with a decent bankroll and be ready to absorb some losses.

But in the end, the house always win.

EDIT: Oh, and I also ran this: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ight=powerball

Ended up being pretty successful and fun.
