Regarding Casinos and Gambling

[Gandalf]

This would be enforceable if the casinos used were owned by players that are actually hiring staff; sadly the majority of the casinos are unowned and most of the time it's random players playing the dealer inside.

lock the ones that are not owned and oblige players to have control over what happens in their business.

Whilst they are not sold, you would expect them to still be the property of the state, ergo the reason why people can just enter and become a dealer as they're property of the public and usually unless there is a clear restriction placed, the public usually can go wherever it wants.

If the state lets people walk around and use its unsold property then it should be responsible for things that go on inside with regards to consumer protection and crime deterrence. The state should call on the SAPD / FBI to actively investigate the gambling industry or just lock the unsold casinos.

If anything, the casinos should be state owned with tax revenue from each gamble / trade going to state. So it's not the state gambling money but rather supervision of gambling to ensure criminals don't make money off it or to provide safer gambling.

If some one wants to buy the casino off the state they can still.

As for illegal casino's. I wonder why those have not yet gotten attention from FBI or CIA. After all illegal means that it very likely funds criminal activity.

Believe me they did, just not official yet.

Nice... you just broke their cover...

But on a serious note, if there is no action taken then what's the point? They might as well hand out drugs to see who will sell them and then just stare at them.

That should be a good solution for the time being, seeing the daily problems that arise from casinos and people abusing/overusing them.
It will put some sense and reason into owning casinos and the owners could hire staff to operate on them, casinos should been used as a way to try your luck and engage your daily roleplay not as a place for ban evaders and troublemakers who scam people to stay there 24/7 and not contribute at all to the server.

Well it makes sense.
Unless you're having an open house, you lock the property or only give keys to trusted people like real estate agents.

Unowned casinos are now locked. There is a single state casino set at Caligulas and another one currently owned on the strip.

The state should hire some dealers for the state casino or a tax collector.
25 per cent of bets placed should go to the state.

Maybe if they were cheaper and/or players were able to make actual money for them they'd buy them.

State casinos should be closed, what's the point of locking all others if you're leaving one open? You're just stacking scammers together under one rooftop.

Casino prices are going to be set to more reasonable amounts. Perhaps the state one will be changed if need be.
Would you go to a casino providing secure gambling or one that has the risk of being scammed at the end of the day?

Whats the point of doing this when the rules already cover them seeing as they are valid casinos and scamming isnt allowed inside them period ?
I'm lazy and don't like driving half way up the damn strip to go to caligula's

[Stivi]

The state casino is pointless, provided that there are available casinos. People can afford them, but there is no reason to buy them.

[Whiteman]

I suggest the government (mayors) to be able to lease out businesses (such as casinos) to citizens for a certain monthly fee. This way we can motivate the business owners to keep their businesses open more actively, also not everyone will be able to lease, there will be requirements for staff etc.

You don't need to gamble if it's too much effort to drive up the road. 

I'm lazy

Solve that and you will be sorted.

Again, tell your friends, your cousins, your families, your multiple accounts we haven't banned yet and your pets.

You're not allowed to gamble with vehicles/houses in a casino, Sell them first and use the money.
You will be punished if you choose to ignore this.
