Casino?

[Rock Hardick]

Can you add gambling? Texas Hold'em, slot machines, black jack, betting - I wonder how much robbing would increase

[Mitch (IFRIT)]

I know for a fact if there were slot machines, i would be more broke than i already am. 

[Cobra]

If I may, allow me to beef up your idea. Let's make a physical casino where gangs could make LEGAL money IF AND ONLY IF they control all cartels. If no gang controls the casino then the money goes to the casino vault for any players to win a jackpot OR if rebels would want to raid the vault. This style would force more CQB indoor fighting between gangs or APD vs gangs. 

(((An alternative is the uncontrolled casino money goes to the Bank of Altis or Fed for a bigger pay out.)))

Casino Perks: 

• Dirty Money could be processed if controlled by gang in a non KOS zone.
• Rival gangs could attempt a "heist" to raid the casino vault.
• Can pull vehicles / helicopters if controlling casino. 
• Participants at the casino can win a variety of items like rare Y items as well as cash.
• Slot machines work as ATMs that can ping fugitive for the APD (slots machines have cams). 
• Garage for civs to use.
• Have bar for players to RP and goof off in. 
   

It's a lil rushed, but it's what came off the top of my head within 2 minutes. But think of this way, in history the most powerful gangs were able to live "somewhat" legit lives as casino owners. Anyone who tried to screw them over "took drive around town" never to be seen again. I believe this play-style would allow gangs to play a more passive play style and would allow them to RP more with civs and cops. Nothing says great RP than crooked cops under the payroll of mafia style casino owners.

Use  Anthony Spilotro and Bugsey Siegel, AL Capone, etc. as a reference.

I think it should be more easier to win cash / prizes so more people are willing to visit and participate.

[Isaiah Fuerte]

Great idea, jesus.. I could already see massive shootouts as soon as someone wins a jackpot

they wont add anything havent you learned? you dont add water to a sinking ship. They have been using bandaids for a long time now and adding more burden on the server wont help

[Silver-Spy]

I dont think this is ever going to happen as there are too many current bugs and fixes on the server that the admins are working on [BE kicks etc..].Even NoPixel casion has a lot of bugs and there admins have to take a lot of time in fixing them.Most of the time the casion there is locked as its bugged out.

Good suggestions, although you shouldn't expecting gangs really have much participation on that front, hence the probabilty for a casino being located in Kavala is rather high, and will mostly only attract local people (Pistolbangers etc.)

[wollie35]

I absolutely love this idea, I know Asylum needs hard bug fixing, but besides that we also want new things to keep it exciting. and it might be a bit more fun for the devs too? (to create something new). People lose interest when non-stop doing the same stuff. Everytime I look through the patch notes I hope something new (even if it's very very small) is popping up.

But aren't groups of pistol bangers gangs too?

Asylum  is the Titanic ?

[Rock Hardick]

I am not sure since I haven't checked recently, but I believe there used to be (or still is) a lottery that was super chanced at winning. So I think they already have a random chance system in place that is plenty good. Just need to expand on it.

May I say this is quite possibly the best idea I've seen in a long time. If you don't get any replies try making your own post.

Texas Holdem would be fucking awesome

I'm glad you think so, my question is would the people use it and more importantly would devs put it in place among the laundry list of "to-do" items in Asylum?
