What if each casino operator put "Please remember to gamble responsibly" in their shout/auction? That's how it works here in the UK.

Not as bad as here in my state in the US where one of the touted benefits of gambling is that a portion of proceeds will go to gamblers anonymous groups.

Roulette baby!
/random 0-10

Bet on any number for 10 to 1 payout, bet on odd or even for 2 to 1 payout, bet on < or > 5 for 2 to 1.

0 = house wins always (player cannot bet on 0)

Fun times!

And holy shit was there a limit you can bet? A LOT better odds than most, astronomically better, I would've been visiting your establishment A LOT.

In all seriousness, it's pretty obvious why gambling increases RMT. Gambling addicts will go great lengths to feed their addiction. Buying EQ money on the internet is not much a stretch for these people.
It also might be hard to keep track of RMT payouts from a dev standpoint.

Made 70k in a week running one. They're awesome, and that was just sitting in EC for a couple hours a night before red server went up.

Sucks they were ruined because of scumlords.

It's not that people are RMTing so they can play casinos lol. It was too easy to use it as a cover for moving large amounts of plat around with nothing traded in exchange. Just like Chardok AE, PLing and account sales. 2/4 so far guys lets get this server cleaned up.

I guess we can all sleep peacefully knowing that RMT was completely eradicated by removing this TOTALLY CLASSIC player-run metagame!

The server just smells pine sol fresh, doesn't it?

what about that casino bot Nilbog/Derubael were talking about? see if we can combat some of that mudflation.
