Regarding Player Casinos

[BigRed5392]

I’m talking circa 2005-2006 during the mass RMT ban, which included casinos. Simply put, it was not in the TOS and they added it much later (in detail) around 2009.

im talking 2009-2011-2013 ish 2011-2013 was the last time i logged in to ff11.

Stop saying it's illegal or against ToS. It's not. Anything else regarding it being annoying or tasteless is purely opinion. I don't have a problem with them but I have no intention of participating either.

While it might be legal the spamming of chat becomes very annoying and is worse than what you get from the RMT advertisers.

Blacklisting all this casinos. People who fall into and and loose all their gil deserved it, but this scummers are even worse. Gambling should be forbidden in game.

So I think that's your answer.

Illegal? No. While everything in a game is subjective and you never know what GM is going to decide to do what (we've all seen random reports of people 'wrongfully' banned), as long as you're being fair, you should be fine. (Be mindful, however, that it also means that since what you're trading can't be verified, it's not against the realm of possibility that someone unhappy with their losses might try to report you as cheating/defrauding them of their money; that's conjecture, however, so take it as you will.)

Widely accepted/approved? Not really. You'll probably get on a lot of blacklists, and should you ever go looking to join groups and the like, that may follow you/affect you. It may not. Some people care a lot, some people don't care at all.

Take it as you will, I don't think any of us can give you a definitive answer one way or another since we're all at the eventual mercy of SE and their GMs. We can only give you our interpretations and opinions.

I love player Run Casinos!!! Thanks for running them!
It adds more content to the game, and some fun!

The people who would blist someone over an occasional shout for that, are probably terrible to run content with anyways haha
I just imagine them twirling their twisty moustaches while saying "harrumph, people having fun, how disgusting. "

I've seen them before and I think it's fun, and a nice distraction sometimes. Not all player casinos have the same rules, but it should be expected that the house has an edge. They are risking their money after all.

Good Luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!!

As a player you have a 2:3 chance to lose, 1:3 to win, 1:9 for the bonus, and 1:999 for the jackpot. On the off chance that you do win a given roll, the house only loses the amount of money you bet because the bonus is statistically unlikely and I'd consider the jackpot statistically impossible. Factually speaking, the only risk for the house is the very, very unlikely chance that someone will get the best possible outcome after making an insane bet. However, that's why the game is rigged in the way it is. The house only pays out if you win, but you pay out every single bet. If you want to gamble money "for fun", I would suggest you play the market instead. Up-selling has more favorable odds, better risk management, and doesn't leave you with nothing when you lose.

P.S. I'm the kind of person who explains how bad the odds are when gambling and immediately wins the jackpot. It's like the universe is mocking me.

I am saying that not all player casinos follow those specific rules.
I've seen some that are over 500 win, under 500 lose

You guys are painting all casinos as the exact same, and acting like there is only one type.

Also there are other games like:
1-300 rock 301-600 paper 601-900 scissors, over 901 reroll/or house wins
So it's a rock paper scissors

then there is Even numbers win/ Odd numbers lose, then double or nothing

Chinchinron style roll 5 times first number counts only (so 123 counts as a 1) no pairs loses pairs win 2x, triples 3x, quads 4x, 5 of a kind wins 5x
or alternate rules, each player rolls 5 times first number only, best hand wins 6's are high A la Poker

There are many more. Imagination and game design can vary greatly, how the game works and how fun it is.
So as I said, Please keep up the great work casino runners of Eorzea!

It's not against tos but if you are really wanting to make a casino then do it in a private estate and make a real go of it... you can then advertise it on the forums or Reddit or whatever... for the love of the twelve tho don't spam shout it
