I didn't know really WHERE to post it so I figured this would be as good a place as any (also posting in Smuggler Forum). For a test idea I posted it on my home server of BRIA with a good response so I thought we would run it here and see what happens. Trying to get as much Visability (LOL for all you jedis) as possible to implement something.
The game of Sabacc is truely one of the best and well known and respected games played amongst characters in the Star Wars canon. Why can'tSOE implement a sort of MINI-GAME in the cantina's in many of the bigger cities. Where as while you are being entertained one can sit and gamble away his hard (HA) earned profits and even properties such as ships and deeds... (the gambling part, could have low stake tables,doesn't have to be huge for those with weak pockets)
I don't think the development side has to be that hard, although gambling as it stands currently in the certain hotels and casinos, well IT STINKS...(Interfaces are hard to deal with and no GUI really to go along with it)
Why not have sabacc tables where a group of 3 or more can sit and play the game, there are plenty of sharware/freeware versions on the internet, why can't the idea and rules from these be implemented in to the galaxy. Then there could be sabacc tournaments and well the ideas are limitless but would be a way for other players to waste time.
Just a thought,

On the Ahazi server, Makk regularly runs games, and you can win big if you're good. Send him and email or tell, tell him Vyssik sent you.

I like the ideaa lot. Perhaps instead of the cantinas it could be in the hotels and casinos? Maybe have Smugglers be able to drop Sabac consoles in player cities and what not.

It would add a lot of fun content to the game - I would love to be bale to gamble that 15k I just earned on a mission to try and double my money.

Right, here I go.
They are apparently working on Pazaak, rumour has it they're in testing for it. How much of that is true, I don't know.
In the meantime, there's ways of running games in game - some people run Sabaac games with real cards and send tells to tell them the cards. I make and sell and play Pazaak made in game - here's how.
If you want to buy some decks to start you off, I've got a shop on Corellia on Kettemoor - do a search for vendors/equipment. It's under 'Games'.
Hope that helps.

I'm still hoping they turn an alcove of each NPC city cantina into a sabacc room, and since JTL has come out since I began hoping for it, I also hape they make a quest 'tournament' that ends with, and introduces, Lando Calrissian aboard the Lady Luck.

It would add a lot to the RP-ish player interaction, that's for sure. And, of course, it would be just plain fun, too. I'm not sure what they have been thinking with those cantina 'games' like lugjack, since a mini-game like Sabacc would be so much better than that, and at the same time, at least I think, rather easy to implement. Another very nice thing would be a Pazaak table, with (I'm sure I've seen this idea somewhere on the forums!) deck cards lootable from random NPCs.

And all of these mini-games could have a 'bet window' where players would put an item or credits, just like the trade window. So you can actually play for a meaningful item like Lando and Han.
