Currently looking to gather a list of sorts of gambling related items, functional however, in the game.

With the exception of general gambling items like common dice, the folding tables and such, what else do we know exists?

More so curious about functional card decks if any, since I know poker dice exist at least

The cards sold at Duskruin in Gamac's Goods?

a deck of gold-foiled cards
This item is a deck of cards that may be used to perform tricks or gamble with. It may be customized with a show description, but long descriptions are not allowed. It must remain a deck of cards. This deck is fully unlocked and will utilize FOLD, CUT, PULL, TURN, RAISE, TOSS, SPIN, WAVE, PROD, NUDGE, PEER, TICKLE, KISS, FLIP, and PUSH.


FOLD: You shuffle a deck of gold-foiled cards idly in your hands and glance about with a bored expression.
CUT: In an impressive show of dexterity, you cut a deck of gold-foiled cards in half one-handed.
PULL (random card each time): You rapidly shuffle a deck of gold-foiled cards a few times and draw the top card, revealing the four of hearts.
TURN: Turning the cards over in both hands, you perform a dovetail shuffle. The cards cascade back into a single deck.
RAISE: You attempt to arrange a deck of gold-foiled cards in an intricate pyramid. Just as you place the top two cards, the entire thing collapses.
TOSS: With a wink, you flip a deck of gold-foiled cards in an arcing flourish from hand to hand.
SPIN: You dexterously grip a deck of gold-foiled cards with one hand and, one by one, send them spinning over to the other hand.
PROD: You effortlessly spring a deck of gold-foiled cards from one hand above your head to the other behind your back.
NUDGE: You glance around discretely, and when no one is looking, tuck a card into your pocket.
PEER: You fan a set of cards in your hand and peer above them, glancing around the room anxiously.
TICKLE: You subtly crimp the corner of one of your cards.
KISS: You pull the Queen of hearts from the deck and give it a kiss, glancing around the room appraisingly.
FLIP: In a display of dexterity, you rapidly twirl a card from finger to finger.
PUSH: You flick a card in your hand impatiently.

Update:
WAVE works when you have the cards in a container and randomly shows a card without actually putting the deck in your hands.
You clap your hands and suddenly are holding the King of gems!
You clap your hands and suddenly are holding the Queen of hearts!
etc.

Oh nice. Didnt know they existed either, musta been a new addition to dusk rain since I went

I'm also more so interested in functional stuff that works as intended, like a deck of cards you could play with if possible.

These are close since you can pull a random card

Wonder if opening up a gambling den would be feasible as a player? House gets a 1% cut on all games? I guess it depends on how it's done and if people are even interested.

I wasn't necessarily curious about a den, but something similar.

The hardest thing is finding functional cards or tiles similar to npc related games, that players themselves can do.

I've talked before to a GM or two about this, and it's been hit or miss for a few reasons.

The idea is there...its just whether or not I wanna follow thru with it is the question, depending on resources available
