Gold sinks

50k per count deeds.

Maybe is there a way to turn your char a hue like when you steel faction sigils?

Charge 5k a hour or something. . . That would be cool.

plastic roulette chips - 25k each. Of course the payout chance on anything good should be super super low, but the regs, powders, and bags should be an ok chance.

Red said 1 mil checks, but no one is gonna gamble a 1 mil check. People might do the 25k chips though. Stuff like that might even help the economy. Make them stackable too, if possible.

Well, red was crazy enough to gamble 2 mil last time, but then again, he's always been crazy. The token idea sounds admirable as there's already a system in place for tokens. Just need to increase the odds that you would get a lesser prize instead of getting the shaft.

Yeah 1mil is fine, I have (well had) like 10mil and I hardly play... I see houses with over 1000mil stacked and banks with just as much.

Ya but that's a small percent of people though and there's no guarantee that they'll actually roulette them.

Charge 10k gold to watch Red crash the server.

That would involve using RunUO SVN instead of our custom RunUO.

ok, figure out what the percentage is for a 1 nickel bet is to win a slot machine jackpot. I mean, that is impossible, but figure max bet/5 or 10 or whatever max is. Then you have a basis for the 25k chips. Its a small chance, but people still play them. Nickel slots take up to a $2 bet, so base your big prize chance on that. Maybe make plastic, silver, and (if I could be so lucky) THUNDER tokens. For the price of 25k, 50k, and 100k. Each one with a greater chance at a grand prize.

Face it, NO ONE IS GOING TO GAMBLE 1 MIL CHECKS. Even if the chance was 1 in 50. But... 25k a pop, with a lot lower chance, people will do that. They buy a plastic chip, get a bag of regs. Thats pretty good. Its not a loss. Economically speaking, its far from a win. But its a win in the player's eyes.

I agree with the token thing to an extent where there's more incentive to buy tokens of different levels then to spend 1 mil in one large chunk.
