Casinos are shady ,especially so when instigators are hiding behind an virtual avatar. Just avoid them, now if its a "beat the dealer's roll" kind of casino thats fair, and as long as theyre on their main char they cant just delete.

Anyways the whole point of a casino is having an unfair edge over the players. Whether its 1% or 15% advantage.

The one who runs a /random betting table as well as a few other games is a rather well known name on the server and is pretty distinguished. I'd trust him to pay up and never just up and leave.

N-not that I've got any ties with Tepe's Tantalizing Treasures or anything... That's not my style! ;>.>

Admittedly I own a Casino. But I take feedback to keep it fun and addictive!!
My rules:
Roll 650^ = x2 Gil, 950^ = x3 Gil, 0 or 999 = x4 gil
Items can also be used as currency depending on item.
Free Fat cat on 777 Roll and x5 Gil
Free refunds on first bad roll, (Resets everyday)
Roll 10 Times and get a free 50k on house

I also have a cute lalafel friend as a duel Casino incase I get crowded or confused.

You cannot affect the range of /random. Putting a number after /random does nothing.

The way random is done is when you do /random you get the message "Random! You roll a (dice icon)772." in the chat box.
In another persons chat box it will show Random! (Your Name) rolls a (dice icon)772."

So they cannot cheat with using "/em Random! (Your Name) rolls a 772." Because it would show up as "(Your Name) Random! (Your Name) rolls a 772." with /random function the Random! will always show up before a players name. And the dice icon too is another aspect that can't be copied and pasted in chat.

Just checked this out by rolling /random 50 and getting a 300. Very interesting!
