    So as many of you know, the launch of the Casino was kind of a cluster fuck. The Devs put the new money making system in Asylum without really understanding the impact or knowing the odds and how to actually play top level blackjack as well as the biggest element, TIME. I am here to bring that to light!

    A couple of reasons why you should now stay far away from the game:
    -The shuffled the deck every hand, not once the 4-6 decks are complete. This eliminates the "hot" window where the opportunity to capitalize on doubles or dealer bust is highest.
    -The win ratio has 100% CHANGED. The dealer consistently wins on 3rd card hands, such as "dealer shows a 6, so you assume its 16, you have 18, you stand, dealer has a 5 in the hole, hits a face card or any card to get higher than 19 every time. Its blatantly apparent to someone who has been gambling for a long time and won and lost 10s of thousands of dollars at a IRL casino.
    -Devs have the ability to change the chance or ratios without being transparent. This isn't gambling, it's calculated. 
    -Finally, if there is a bug in the game that you arent aware of and you profit from it, they will take your winnings. Apparently the system double paid when you got a 21 on the third or fourth card on a double down. I did not notice this, as all I cared about was if I won or lost. I played a hand about once every 3 seconds, so no, I wasnt watching. All I knew was that if I win, its +100000, if I didn't it was -100000. What else should I expect???
    Before the patch, I played Blackjack for 8 hrs straight. I won around 28 Million. I played perfect Blackjack. I lost millions but I could always ride the curve to get past and into the "hot" window again. This isn't possible anymore and the game is just a money sink now. Devs, before you implement a whole new system of money making into the game, might wanna consider all possibilites and have some testers try it out. Admins, big shoutout to you for having to clean up the mess they made. If you would like a lesson on how to help improve this game, please let me know!

    My final note is this. The Devs have added a system that requires no time. There is nothing to process, nothing to pick, nothing to sell. You sit in a safe room, hit a button, and profit (before the chance ratio changed). Of course it was gonna fuck the economy!?!?! If you can make 100K in 30 mins running a drug but others can make 300K in 1 min, there is a bigggggg problem with the economics. I have some ideas on how to fix this, which I have shared with admins, but I want to see the deck limit and win-loss ration fixed before then. Anyway, thats my rant, I hope you enjoy

    Bounty hunters aren't really supposed to work with the police.  The point of bounty hunting is to hunt bounties that the police don't have the ability to hunt.  E.g. bounties that spend all their time in places police can't or don't frequently go or getting bounties in the absence of police all together.  With that said I just don't like the BH faction in the current way it is.  It adds another factor both cop and rebels have to worry about when doing their thing on top of everything else they already have to worry about.  So honestly, I would prefer going back to when they just had stings and we could go back to sending them straight to jail for abuse of their license.

    Whatsup lads and ladies.

    So i would like some transparency from @Gen. Henry Arnold @Azeh (whoever is responsible for the coding)  regarding the casino and the percentages behind blackjack and inevitably the other games that you will bring into it. 

    To explain, every machine you play on when it has a gambling for money aspect has a payout percentage, for example, if you have a slot machine in a casino with a 95% payout then the machine is expected to make 5% profit from all money put into it and will rig the games accordingly, this isn't to say that everyone playing that machine will lose,  a new machine may be up 15% at some point and pay out a jackpot to someone who only span a few times. This is enforced by the gambling commission, who require the casino/betting shop owners to keep logs of profits made per machine, any machine found over a long period of time to not be set into the right percentages displayed by the machine carry's a hefty hefty fine for the casino. 

    So a lot of that is irrelevant to asylum but just wanted to explain the premise. When you play virtual blackjack you are basically playing a slot machine, the same rules apply in England for virtual blackjack and virtual roulette or any virtual casino game when it comes to displaying payout percentages. You can force it to fuck up of course by pounding the hit button but if you doing that you probably enjoy your testicles getting stepped on by women in high heels. 

    So can we get some transparency on how your blackjack coding works and if indeed you have a payout percentage i  think it would be beneficial and fair to list it somewhere. 

    The reason this is in place is to protect the player, in Asylum this is just another currency sink which is beneficial to any mmorpg style setup with an economy and currency. Problem is you got people of all ages who might get addicted to spending hours on your servers grinding out money to go try win money at the casino, you also have minors here who might go a bit crazy buying in game currency from people on back channels between themselves to fuel or birth a gambling habit. 

    I think adding gambling in is a good move if done correctly, but dangerous if done incorrectly.
