Everyone agrees it sucks, but there are legitimate reasons for banning casinos.
It does not make the server less classic.

WRONG. Innoruuk had gambling/casinos and I have evidence. No evidence for any server ever banning gambling. Prohibition indeed made server less classic.

Re: Worst player award
Tubaked Good effort and good form, from being accused of stealing to general suckiness you still only end up with 5 votes. Maybe if you work out some casino scams, BoT trains or any other nasty things you can think of your rep might stand a better chance.

^ A player clearly referencing ability to make a player-made casino on Innoruuk server legally at least up until 2004.

Here's some more server's that had legal player-run casinos:

Yeah, we have the idiots too.

But if I saw someone giving the odds you mention (0-400 bust, 400-600 double, 600-1000 triple) I would be all over it..;-)

Varies on the Seventh Hammer, but I have seen it quite a bit. Highly annoying.

I see it about once every few weeks on MT - apparently they get such a bad reception on this server that they don't bother. (Of course, I don't even think it was ever popular in the EC tunnel either.) It's definitely not an everyday occurance, if even a weekly event.

Anyone who spams the zone in shout gets /petitioned if I'm the least bit grumpy. You can spam the /auc channel all you want, I don't give a rat's hiney.

Dunno why it's so rare on MT (and we're not as young of a server as we used to be).

Yes, Fennin is plagued with it too ... I would turn off auc, ooc and shout, but I do watch them from time to time while buying or selling in the bazaar.

Hate to say it but Inny's got them too.

We have a person in the guild who runs one, he make more money running the casino than from playing. Unfortuneately thats the big draw, and some people will try for a jackpot nomatter the odds.

I see those yahoos doing the casino thing in the bazaar on Torv, too. Even MORE spam in an already spam infested zone!! It annoys me to no end.

Most of the casino runners on Bristlebane (at least the ones I've seen) conduct their business in the Nexus; they get to compete with the porters and the C3 chanters.

Yep Drinal's got em too hehe. They didn't exist back in the north freeport days, except for the ultra-rare "lottery" where one person would collect bets from everyone and assign a number, then random the whole pile off to one lucky guy. Seems everyone uses 1-3000 as the numbers, with doubles at 1700 or higher, triples at 1995 or higher, and quadruples at 1 or 3000. I had a great time playing at them too (even made a bit of a profit) until I played a casino that q'd out after I won

The invention of casinos has made the back of the bazaar a very very popular place now. I used to be the only one back there, now I share my area with a decent sized crowd of people (casinos on Drinal are almost always run from the stables area).
