Need GM Clarification on Player Casinos/Lotteries

[ExKage]

Thank you LGM Enkrateia!

Thank you for the clarification on Casionos and Lotteries! Would a small scale player run triple triad tournament fall under the former or latter? i.e. 1,000 gil buy-in, winner take all tournament for an 8 player party. Rules are published in game chat, seeding is handled via /random, the winner of each game reports in chat to the host... I would think that would fall under the "casino" rules. However, at what point would it become "large scale" and involve external tracking and handling? Is there a particular amount of players or amount of gil that would have to be traded to classify it as such?

Thank you for the additional clarification.

I think for the GMs to have a good conclusion, is it easy for them track and verify the winner of the games. I imagine that the /random shows up in the logs which is why having the rules and time stamp etc are what makes player casinos trackable and verifiable. But I think that requires a GM to reply and not speculation.
