Can't seem to edit my original thread post but basically for poker itself this is the idea I want it's explained almost perfectly here:

Obviously other card games would be cool but poker would be the best especially since we already have so many of these tables lying around...

I think it's a great idea. Everyone may think it would cause rifts among the player base, but with a little tact, I'm convinced that it could actually bring it closer.

Whatever term you try to throw at it, at the end of the day, it will be "gambling"... that's the fun of it... you're technically "gambling" even when you spar. Have you ever seen that Twilight Zone episode where the guy ALWAYS wins?... Wins, wins, wins every single time, and he ends up being in Hell. LOL. Good stuff.

I think the tokens->tickets->prizes idea would be prime (like Chuck-E-Cheeze lol). First of all, you want players to play the game. If you could gamble gralats, it seems like that would entice more arguments among players; even detour them from the game with other more beneficial jobs such as fishing (kids whine in this game over the smallest things- could you imagine randomly winning 2k from one of them? 1 word: Apocalypse) But if you gave them a currency used only for gambling, I think the tables would pop.

Do most kids in this game even know how to play Poker though?! Maybe the "go-fish" route would be a bit better xD Slots... lol... snail racing.....

Let's face it. West will never have the nice things. We can't even have a decent basing system.

Of course it's still gambling but I think the tokens would work especially with what symm said maybe a daily spin thing for the tokens maybe so it's a separate currency? Of course I would love to bet gralats but if a work around would be required it would be fine to. I think tokens would work best to because if we are going to have multiple games then yeah you could acquire tokens to use on any game in the arcade. Really hope this idea is considered I think it would add a nice western kick and bring players together, just imagine after a long day of basing chilling with your friends from your gang at a pub or something in west all playing a little poker or black jack while you chat.

If that's the case, lottery is gambling and we have that in the game.

It's high noon for Ol' West, eh?

Actually now that I think about it yeah, Era and Zone have lotteries which is also gambling plus Era even has freaking slot machines also not complex is sirloin gambling as well, some can even argue to a certain extent that arcade is gambling ACTUALLY there is even a bet spar now in era MPX which is also "gambling". But at the same time I don't see it as gambling if the currency you are supposedly "gambling" is currency that was given to you from the game and used in the game, you aren't really risking anything as technically the currency was already given to you via the game itself.

Honestly that's a pretty neat idea, and I understand like ya gambling isn't something we could just slid in cause our age group but there's an easy work around, lets say there playing a game of poker and it cost 5 tokens to join, the player that wins can be rewarded 30 tickets and the loser can receive 10 tickets. As long as both players pay the same amount and both receive a guaranteed prize you cant caqll it gambling really haha because even the worst player that never wins can still earn enough tickets to buy something.

Honestly this is perfect, never thought of this but it is a great idea, it could literally be the western version of the era arcade, since it doesn't make sense to have arcade games in west this can be a work around so instead of arcade games there could be card games and stuff like poker and you get tokens to play and win tickets, but everyone wins no matter what, it's just if you actually win you get even more tickets, great idea and perfect work around from gambling. We just need card games in the Ol' West.

Reading back on what I said yeah.. if only developers(scripters-that graal lacks) could do my stuff players would start to enjoy the game more.

Just add an age restriction, problem solved
"Are you 18 or older?"
