I think a "gambling house" concept where players can gamble for gils/items/leves/etc would be nice to have, adding a little "flavor" to the game.
The actual gambling may come in the form of some card game, chocobo race, etc where players competes against each other.
Anyway, just a thought.

I think a gambling house would be fun, even more so if they added the card game to it and held toouraments.
The bad things I see is that gold selling would become worse. -

From my understanding, the Pugilist Guild is a gambling house. It would be cool if we could play card games and such at the guild, but like Katt said, I could see the RMTs getting worse.

I would love for a Triple Triad card game.This could add so much more to the game especially if they had monsters dropping cards. Also a gambling house would be great as well I think anything along these lines would be a welcomed addition.

Strip poker would be a huge attraction.

They can't because it's rated "T". Gambling in the US you must be 18 years of age so it would be against the law even in a game.
Like the idea but sadly will not happen. -

Just my 2 cents... -
02-09-2012, 03:18 AMEluneIt actually doesn't have to be an opinion that it shouldn't fall under gambling legislation. It just simply doesn't. As long as you don't bet anything that has real currency value (like RL money, or chips that you trade in for RL money, a wristwatch, or a car or w/e item that is worth money), it doesn't fall under any gambling legislation.Quote:

If SE allowed you to buy gils or items for real money, then it'd be a different story. But since they aren't... :p -

good idea, make tournaments and get some good items there or better cards, they should implement a card game same as the one we had in ff viii, is fun and simple.

The gambling spot is close to the pug guild but not the same place. just next to it there is a elevator with a dice above the door. I hope they still plan on adding it it..I been wanting to check that place out since release just like ishgard.

I don't care much for gambling, but they should add Triple Triad from FFVIII, YES!! I was so addicted to that, trying to collect all the cards. They should NOT, however, add the card game from IX, Tetra Master. That was a convoluted mess to me. TT was much more fun.

I think mini-games of any sort with some gil incentives would be awesome. I look forward to having some of these things in game.

I like this idea..
so much that I don't want to confine it to a house....
How about an entire fun zone...
As Dio said in FFVII... in times like these... people need something to take their minds off of things
