Antonican Gaming Commission (Money Wheel)

[zforrestal]

Hello ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Tookie and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this thread. Antonican Gaming Commission (AGC) needs your help. I strive to give players a fun, interactive experience that differs than your normal casino. I want to give players as close to a real casino experience as possible within the game, which is why I'm asking for your help on the next game I'm inventing.

The game is called Money Wheel. It's a multiplayer game where more than one person can bet per round of Money Wheel. The game itself is simple but tricky to explain if you've never been played Money Wheel at a real casino. It's a /random 1-100 game and here are the payouts:

1-49: Pays 1:1 (Tier 1) (49% chance to win)
51-79: Pays 2:1 (Tier 2) (29% chance to win)
81-94: Pays 10:1 (Tier 10) (14% chance to win)
95-99: Pays 20:1 (Tier 20) (5% chance to win)
100: Pays 40:1 (Jackpot) (1% chance to win)
Lucky Numbers: 50 and 80. (Lucky) - will explain what happens on a Lucky roll later on. (2% chance to win)

How you play: Min bet 1pp - Max bet 100pp. You place your bet on the Tier you think the /random 1-100 will hit. You can place multiple bets of various amounts on any of the Tiers, for example:
Player 1: Places a 30pp bet on Tier 1, a 10pp bet on Tier 10, and a 10pp bet on Tier 20. (Total of 50pp)
Player 2: Places a 50pp bet on Tier 1. (Total of 50pp)

After all bets are taken and recorded, I roll the /random 1-100. If you placed a bet on the Tier that hits, you win. If you placed a bet and it didn't hit the Tier you placed you lose for that round. I will give an example of 3 players playing a game of Money Wheel.

Player 1: Places a 30pp bet on Tier 1, a 10pp bet on Tier 10, and a 10pp bet on Tier 20. (Total of 50pp)
Player 2: Places a 50pp bet on Tier 1. (Total of 50pp)
Player 3: Places a 10pp bet on Tier 2, and 10pp on Tier 20. (Total of 20pp).
The /random 1-100 number ends up being 25. 25 Falls into the Tier 1 of numbers. So Player 1 placed 30pp on Tier one and wins 1:1 (he receives 60pp)
Player 2 placed 50pp on Tier one and also wins 1:1 (he receives 100pp)
Player 3 placed a 10pp on Tier 2 and 10pp on Tier 20, he doesn't win anything.

After all players are paid out, a new round of Money Wheel will start. That is pretty much the basis of the game.

If you place a bet on Lucky Numbers (Also known as Lucky) and a lucky number hits, (50 or 80 you do not need to place bets on both numbers they are grouped under the same Tier) the casino rerolls the dice and continues the original game of Money Wheel. At the end of the original game any player who placed a bet on Lucky will get a /random 1-50 to determine the multiplier payout for their bet, for example.

There are 4 players playing this round of Money Wheel. Player 1 placed a 10pp bet on Lucky and the Casino rolled a 50. The game continues and the casino rerolls the dice to finish the game of Money Wheel. The game ends and the casino pays everyone who won. Then the casino rolls a /random 1-50 for Player 1, and it comes up 32. Player 1 wins 32x his original bet of 10pp (he receives 320pp).

Now this is where I need your help, and value your feedback immensely. I imagine Money Wheel to be played every 5-10 minutes for 2 reasons. 1: I need to accurately notepad everyone's bets 2: It takes sometime to collect everyone's bets.
I need help with the name of the Tiers. I can't think of anything else and my mind is stuck on calling them Tiers. Any advice is welcome and I'd also like to know if you would even be interested in playing.

So my biggest point of topics are, the names of the Tiers, if people would be interested in playing and if doing it every 5 - 10 minutes is acceptable. Again thank you very much for reading this thread and thank you in advance for any ideas or tips.

The odds in this game are SO heavily in the house's favor, especially the higher tiers and the "lucky" bet. This game might get action from suckers or people with too much disposable plat, but I would advise everyone against playing this game.

Yes the game's odds are in the houses favor, as is any casino game. That's why it's gambling. I don't think anyone is a sucker to play any casino game. With that being said my main purpose is to give players who like to gamble an experience which is what I'm trying to do with this game. The game is unique to EQ and vastly different than any other casino dice game that's out there. What other game offers 40:1 payouts? That also being said, the game isn't final yet and I'm still working out payout rates etc. Tho I feel like I'm pretty close with how payout should work. I still need help on Renaming the Tiers and no one besides Nubben has said whether or not they'd play it.

Thank you Nubben for your post and thank you everyone else who also has any input.

Edit: I'd also like to point out the minimum bet is 1pp, so it's open to the casual low spender to the high roller.

It's gambling, the odds are always in the houses favor.

If you say, "this game is in the houses's favor" "this game is for suckers" "this game is only for people with money" etc etc, I just want to punch you in the neck for being so blatantly retarded and obvious

"DO THE MATH, PEOPLE!"

Gambling is supposed to be in the players favor, right?

This game is in the houses favor by 1 number for tier 1. I think it's a great idea.
