Do you want gambling?

attackjet

Simple, do you want gambling in the game?
Also maybe even some cool mini games to pass time.

Sounds amazing in theory yet highly exploitable in practice... I'm down.

yeah it is... but that just means you have to put a solid system in place to prevent it xD i'm sure zenimax has enough geniuses to pull this trough :P

Yes

Yes for mini games

Depends how it would be done... could be a money trap.
But I wouldn't bet on it (hehehe) happening anytime soon.

DannyLV702

Yes

I NEED poker!!!!

Solid_Metal

No

bewarn tho, if theres explicit and clear gambling mechanic in this game, it might be get banned in some countries

Silver_Strider

Yes

I don't think it would hurt all that much if they added something like this.

Small things like those Lizard races or even gambling on an arena establishment on which fighter would win, could be interesting to see.

I'M A GAMBLING MAN AND I NEED MY FIX!!!!

Marktoneth3

Yes

My bad luck shall rule.

bedlom

Yes

I would love lore friendly mini games. The more variety of stuff to do besides the norm the better.
We could have a TES style card game or I personally would love to see Nirn chess, all of which would be awesome in taverns with a gambling system, against npc's and other players.

Gidorick

Yes

BARGAMES! YEA!!!!

Mabye

Gambling? Not really something that catches my interest per se... (because I usually have pretty rotten luck, just ask my RNG average)

But...

If they do it as "bargames"... then yay, I'll be there! As long as the losses are low and the fun is high, gimme!

...it probably won't happen but I can dream Q.Q

Etchos

No

if you believe all the posts on here about the crafting RNG then imagine the nonense we would have to read about a Poker RNG.

Ultimately it would be nice but on the list of things i'd like to see done within the game this is number 1034 on the list.

Beardimus

Yes

100% yes, in the taverns, running races, guar racing etc, would be awesome. Even if they just made RNG equivalent of rock paper scissors ha

bertenburnyb16_ESO

u have,
its called RNG
u like running a dungeon a 100 times and then finally getting that monster helm with wel fitted....?

randolphbenoit

While gambling is maybe in the Lore. I seen many people get hook on online gambling games (even ones that reward no actual money) - With gambling the house always wins ...

Gambling was a really big part earlier history and still is today. There's no reason that they couldn't add in games that people could bet on. Maybe some time of Guar racing where the players have no control of the guars so it's all RNG based. Or they could add in obstacle courses that people have to race through and people bet on the racers.

IF they ever add in Arena's to PVP they could easily create a Colosseum that people could watch these fights and make bets. I even suggested this over a year ago....

If people watch these games, you will have massive lag due to so many in the same location nearby - and this would make the combat in the arena less performant. Same goes with gambling - I just think of how gambling was, when it was still a part of second life - it was horrible, gamblers caused lags in every region, where they started to gamble. I am against it.

SneaK

Yes

Curious -

On Xbox, VERY OFTEN, you can find people gambling on what color the EG will proc. People will stand around and place bets on if the beam will be blue/red/green. It's pretty funny, and I've heard people betting some big money too.

Do other platforms do this?

Oh, so you mean like the game exactly is now in Cyrodil...... And I don't think it would lag the game worse that it already is. If they did a Colosseum based setup as instanced, there would only be those players fighting in the Arena that are casting spells. Everyone else would just be spectating placing bets. The game would run perfectly with 200 people on the screen at the same time if only 6 of them would be casting spells. @ZOS would have to adjust the server calculations to only affect those players within the actual Arena but that should be doable.

I've always wanted more mini-games with rewards. It was always in my feedback during the multiple beta weekends.

stojekarcub18_ESO

Yes

Was so anxious for the casino to open in Archeage, but unfortunately the game died before that patch. Dice games in the taverns, betting on the lizard & frog races, etc...could be quite fun

Depends on how you want it to be implemented.

I'd love a "/roll X" command that generates a random number between 1 and X, but that's about as far as it goes.

Uriel_Nocturne

Yes

I think it would be a nice addition to the game.

JimmyKeal

Yes

I'd want mini games like in Red Dead Redemption! Liars Dice, Poker, Blackjack, 5 Finger Fillet. Something along those lies!

Then again, PVP gambling would cue hilarious messages from raging gamers' claims of cheating, hacking etc.

PVE gambling though, definitely!

MORE LIZARD RACING!!!
