Casino

[Edaarin]

Shit, Casino's here. There goes my money.

[Pendore's Casino, Main Lobby]
Bright and colorful paintings and decorations hang from the walls and ceiling of this small but comfortable lobby. Loud cheers and the occasional disappointed groan echo from various passageways branching off in several directions and from a large polished oak door embedded in the wall. You also see a human cashier, a pinewood bar with some stuff on it, a crystal passageway and a large wooden hallway.
Obvious exits: north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, out

EDIT: It's the pavilion tent by the Exchange Booth. Seems to be small stakes mostly (< 1m bets)

[Edaarin]

I'm in room west of the entrance if you want to play tiles.

[ZGemstone]

Tiles? I don't remember that being in the casino last time. Any idea what other games they've got?

[Edaarin]

There's a slots one for 100 coins a pull. The table I'm at is like poker.

| The object of the game is to get playing pieces given to you |

| the payoff. |
| |
| To place a bet, you need to BET <amount>. Bets must be less |
| than 250,000 silver and divisible by 3. Once all players |
| have placed a bet, the round begins. Each player is then |
| dealt three tiles to start with. You may look at your tiles, |
| but no one else's. To look at your tiles, LOOK <name> TILE. |
| |
| You will then be asked to make a decision. If you feel your |
| tiles have sufficient potential, you may choose to let your |
| bet stand, or to pull one-third of your original bet if you |
| are unsure that it will amount to anything. To pull back |
| some of your bet, PULL TILE. To let it ride, TAP TILE. |
| |
| Once all players have made this decision, another tile is |
| dealt face-up for all to see. This tile is used by all the |
| players to form their hand. So, if the house turns up two |
| tens or better, then every player wins! To see the house |
| tile(s), LOOK HOUSE TILE. |
| |
| After this "house tile" is dealt, you then have another |
| chance to let your remaining bet ride, or to pull another |
| one-third of your original bet back. |
| |
| Finally, another tile is dealt face up to make a total of |
| five tiles. The dealer then collects or pays out, whichever |
| the case may be. |

A tile dealer grumbles a little and says, "Edaarin has a full temple."
A tile dealer none-too-happily counts out 1760000 silvers and hands them to you along with your remaining wager.


A tile dealer writes something on the payout sign.

[Latrinsorm]

I lost 20k.

<--- so poor

[Pallon]

>bet 249999
You place 249999 silvers on the table as your bet.

Your tiles are the dame of rubies, the three of rubies,
and the knave of rubies.

A tile dealer turns over a tile and places it on the table in front
of him. It's the two of rubies!

A tile dealer turns over another tile and places it on the table near
the first. It's the seven of sapphires!

A tile dealer says, "Pallon has to find another way to make a living."

A tile dealer happily scoops up your wager and pockets it.

[Shari]

This game has surely been crafted by Satan himself.

<has butt marks in the stool in the black room>

[Stir-Phry]

bleh i got a 5 6 7 8 of sapphires and on the last card was a sword of coins :(

[Pallon]

[Let It Ride, Emerald Room]
Elegant emerald pile carpet covers the floor of the small room
surrounding a varnished thanot card table flanked by several velvet-padded
chairs and attended by a smiling table dealer. An elaborate crystal
chandelier swings overhead, the glowing candles illuminating the table
brightly. You also see some silver coins, a rules and payout sign and a tile
dealer.
Obvious exits: southeast
>A tile dealer says, "Sit down at my table and try your luck!"

>l coins
There are 460320 coins there.
The silver is the coin of the realm, accepted by most Elanthian
merchants.

I only carried away around 120k before it disappeared for some reason

[Bobmuhthol]

Huka once crashed the game by dropping 100k in at least 20 rooms of the Landing.

I got one of the piles, game crashed, no more coins.

[Syberus]

Where are the slot machines?

[Bobmuhthol]

Through a door or something, it should be in the center room.

I don't really know, but I think that's where it was when the casino last came.

[Syberus]

Got it, thanks

[Syberus]

Crock of shit... you win one in ten pulls if you're lucky and then it's 100 coins back, shitty slots.

[Pallon]

Goddamn, I pissed away two million already

I may have a gambling problem

[MPSorc]

R>pull chain
The attendant steps over to you and collects your money. She smiles and says, "Good Luck!"

You pull on the chain until the catch releases and the tumblers begin to spin! One by one they begin to lock into place...
Round Time: 8 sec.
The tumblers lock in with: roa'ter - roa'ter - roa'ter

*** A tumbler begins ringing its jackpot bell! ***

The attendant runs over and starts beating a gongwith great excitment. She begins to yell, "Grand Prize Winner! We have a grand prize winner!"
The attendant continues, "Everyone congratulate Bargio!
The attendant claps and yells, "Harsaaah! Bargio is a winner!

The attendant hands over your winnings of 100000 silver coins.
