of course you can

just roll a dice IRL and type the results in /l 

Hire someone to live-stream it on tinychat for you (rofl)

What's next? Hosting a SA:MP server costs money and all, why not just make a Skype convo for all the players and talk in /me's and in Instant Messages. That way noone can abuse the script and everyone can roleplay...

Jesus, you people never get it, do you?

Jezus, someone clearly doesn't get a joke.

If you really want to know, I think that people should be able to use blackjack scripts out of casinos, but it won't have the protection, you play blackjack, but you don't have 'set bets'. You play without anything and hope the other party will pay up.
Same for Dice, in a casino you can only do it with protection (aka set bets and set games).
Out of casinos you can do it old school.

That's how you -want- it to be, right? Or am I missing out on something ingame right now?

No need to get down to a provocative level. Keep it nice.

A problem with this game stems from players not really caring about dying. let's just say that someone loses 100k on an illegal gambling match and he doesn't want to pay up. so they do a 5 minute roleplay where the one person holds a gun up to the loser's face and the other guy pretends to be scared while PMing him to just kill him already. done.

the server should have real impact, when you die you should lose a lot of shit, that way death is actually something with gravity and something that every player should try to avoid at all costs. to refer back to my earlier example of gambling, if there were real consequences, the player who bet 100k could actually promise to pay later and a whole new world of roleplay scenarios could open up with this (i.e. loan sharks going after him once in a while)

You are not allowed to go to the casino and place bets with no money and claim "I will sell this or that to pay if I lose". That will no longer be allowed as a form of payment for bets.


Cash bets or no bets. Your choice.

[SkyHawk]

Allowing individuals to claim bets with assets in their possession only allows the opportunity to lead to potential scams if they lose the bet in the first place. There is no binding agreement that forces them to actually sell their assets to pay off a gambling debt and there is no way from an admin to enforce this rule fairly. If you want to gamble, sell the assets you claim are your collateral and bring your cash with you, if you have a hard time doing that, then I'm lead to believe you wouldn't have sold the assets if you had lost the bet anyways.

Hello.
I would like to state my point of view about the current gambling script.
In my point of view the current gambling script is kinda complicated for a new player , It for sure will take him time to understand how it completely works.
Its not the problem tho , They could learn how it actually works in a small period of time.
The essential problem is with the gambling script it self , You will always have the chance to lose.
Example : If you place a bet on a big ammount of money , you do /bjjoin .... then /bjready , You will start with a number you haven't thrown yet , Which might be 15 or 17 or any number , Actually this is not a pretty good idea , I would like to suggesst you guys a suggesstion which might be helpful and useful.

Whenever i wanna join a BlackJack game , It would be great if i begin with the number zero , It will be a great idea if you could activiate it tho.

You will join the BlackJack Game feeling comfortable as long as you know that you will start with zero , not with 15 or 17 , You will become into an embarrassing stance and you will no longer know what exactly you should do in this case.

I think if this suggesstion would be applied , It will attract the players who have never joined the casino to have at least one try.

I gently ask you guys to take this as a considerable suggesstion.

The use of casinos on argonath is only blackjack, i suppose we had /dice back in rs4(correct me if am wrong) but uhh.... "Casino Owners" need to start putting more work on hiring bartenders/Exchangers/Highstakers/Lowstakers/Security Guards to be more realistic because its just... meh now, even gangsters are gambling  .
Also you can bring back dice and maybe add something more like poker script.
You can also allow "raffle" with a casino owner's permission... like you could raffle a car thats cool or something.(the drill is you have to get the same numbers 3 times in a row either you lose)...
