    NUF's Local Gambling Casino!
    [​IMG]

    Why farm money when you can waste it all away win big all at once??
    Spend spend spend spend to achieve your dreams!
    Current Events:

    Game 6: "New Year's Celebration Lottery!"

    The object of the game is to guess the lowest number that nobody else has guessed!

    Deadline: December 31st, midnight UTC time!
    Grand prize: $1360
    Ticket price: $25 (or two kittens)
    Tickets bought: 18

    Rules/How to Play:
    • Pay $25 to @villain, and in your transaction comment, place the number that you are guessing.
    • Only positive integer numbers ranging from zero to infinity are accepted!
    • Players are allowed to purchase an unlimited number of tickets! With each ticket bought, the prize will increase by $20.
      • Note: if paying in cash, please don't buy more than 3 tickets at a time... the tax is too much....

    Game 5: "Two Truths and a Lie (Gambling ver.)!"

    There are three options. Two are truths, and one is a lie.
    If you guess right, the host pays you the prize! If you guess wrong, you pay the host!

    Bulletin Board:
    Rules/How to Play:
    • For hosts:
      • Post in this thread with your three options, and the bet that you are placing.
      • Immediately PM @villain with the correct answer before anyone has guessed (this is for anti-cheating purposes).
    Code:
    [b]Host:[/b]
    
    [b]Bet:[/b]
    
    1:
    
    2:
    
    3:
    • For guessers:
      • The front page will list the currently active two truths and a lie games; feel free to browse the open games.
      • Once you have picked one, quote the original poster and give your guess.
    • The host should respond to the first person who made a guess (anyone who responded afterwards doesn't count).
      • If the player guessed right, the host should pay the player the bet (either in nuffies or in kittens).
      • If the player guessed wrong, the player should pay the host the bet (either in nuffies or in kittens).
      • After the first person has guessed, the game is over, and a new game must be started.
    Note: Hosts caught cheating (e.g. by ignoring the first respondent in favor of a later one, or continuously lying about what is truth or what is a lie -- subject to 3rd party testimonials) will be banned from the game after two warnings! Same thing for people who play but can't pay!​


    Game 2: "Not-very-interesting alphabet lottery!"

    Another pointless game (trial run as another proof of concept); play if you're bored.

    Game open until: Until someone wins
    Current prize pool: $125
    Number of tickets bought: 1

    Rules/How to Play:
    • Pick a letter between A and Z
    • Buy a lottery ticket by going to my profile (@villain) and paying $25 per ticket. In your transaction comment, write the letter that you are guessing for alphabet lottery. All of the money (minus the $1 transaction fee) goes into the prize pool.
    • The number of tickets you can purchase is capped at a maximum of 3 tickets!
    How to Win:
    • Be the first person to guess the winning letter!
    • The first person to guess the right letter (randomly predetermined in the Hash) gets the entire pot!
    • Everyone else wins nothing!

    Damn not even a day since money and we're already thinking of ways to waste it...
    ...anyways, maybe something like Russian Roulette like before, but with money?

    The bank is willing to payroll the casino. As long as you make sure the house wins the most

    Currently starting a trial game -- there is no house in this game because it's a proof of concept for now.

    If people decide to run their own games, feel free to post in this thread and I'll publicize/link it on the first post.

    EDIT: going to spike in $30 to the prize pool (even though I'm not playing), just to give a little bump into the expected value for winning this game.

    I just want more money. Wait what if we do the pokemon thread, but make people pay $1 per post with a jackpot of $20 plus the pokemon. It's genius!

    The $1 charge won't work -- based on what I've seen so far, there's a $1 transaction fee that @Tony steals from all transactions.

    I'll convince the moderators to make the money paid at the casino tax-free to stimulate the NUF economy!

    Note:

    It was pointed out to me that you can write the number you pick in the transaction comment, so it's no longer necessary to send a PM for Game 1 ("guess the least popular number").

    Minimum buy in amount has been changed to $10, as an fyi.

    What do NUFfians need after opening a bank? A casino of course... Where would they even spend all they hard earned spam money if there's no gambling den here... A shop? A trading post? Nah.. It should be the casino..

    It wasn't (meaning, it's okay to send $10 without considering the $1 transaction fee).

    Also, thank you for playing! Your guess has been recorded and the first post has been updated.

    saving a md5 hash encrypt/decrypt link here so I don't lose it -- may have use for it in the future game ideas (anti-cheating mechanism to prevent house from doing questionable things/favoritism). can use for card games and other things like that.
