We now have dice yay!! we now can gamble!! yay now zooty will actually head in game to update his casino.... anyway basically all in the title, slot machines. The would be a plat item (just to make it harder to make casinos ) And basically to make it work, the owner has to put gold into the "pool" lets call it, basically the pool is the amount of gold the players can win. only one person can have a slot machine open at a time. when u press e to open a slot machine it opens up a window with slot machine graphics and also has a little area box. You drag your gold into that box and then u can hit a button to spin the slot machine, depending on what you get, you get/lose a certain amount of money. players can also see how much money is in the "pool". another thing is that if the pool does not have enough gold to pay up ur winnings, you just get all of it for example you wager 100gold, inside the pool is 500gold and you win a x10 which SHOULD give you 1k but since there is not enough it only gives you 500gold. now you must be thinking: THATS UNFAIR but its actually up to the player. if someone bet 100gold even though the pool is 500gold if they DO get a x10 they may not get the right amount but for example if they got only a x2 they would get 200gold, whereas if they only bet 50gold they would only get 100gold. but it also means they might LOSE more. So it adds that gambling aspect. Also the reason i suggest the "pool" is so the economy wont break even more with people spamming slot machines. and the gold that is used on the slot machine goes to the pool and the owner can collect the gold from the pool at any time (they can earn money )

now i know my idea has a lot of flaws so plz suggest anything below so i can make the idea better

I'm not even going to read what you wrote, because the title is enough for me.

 

This is a childrens game, that has been made explicitly clear by RobbyZ through his actions and policies, and I'm pretty sure its against the law for minors to explicitly gamble.  You already saw what the community does when exposed to implicit gambling.  They lose their sanity, I conservatively estimate that 67% of the players spent a significant majority, if not all of their gold on mystery boxes before they were fixed.  

 

I'm not saying i think RobbyZ should remove the mystery boxes, that's not my place; but what i am saying is that it is proven in many places, including now here, that children, and even some adults can not gamble without going overboard.  

 

Also, I am almost certain that this post is a direct followup of you becoming addicted to gambling on mystery boxes.

I think we should no start posting PSAs for 8BitMMO about gambling all your gold.

I actually like this idea. Sounds pretty cool to me. I doubt sim would go for it though..

It's not against the law in a vidya, lots of games have some form of gambling. Mystery Boxes are basically 8BitMMO's version of Steam crates. You take a chance and spend some gold, usually you lose, but every now and then you win big. That's enough to keep burning all your gold. But you keep trying. That I feel is good for keeping players around longer.

It was made against the law in Runescape, which was pretty sad.

 

I made so much gold from dice.....maybe we should do dice games in 8bit?

wut... There were dice items you could get in RS I think.

They still have that wheel you can buy (with IRL money) spins for. Still a game of chance. They just don't like *player-made* gambling apparently. You know they just want in on it (think government taxes)
