I agree with not doing slots. I set up a slot playing macro, with maxium bets every time.
I let it run for six hours, and ended up down 3,000 space credits

Whoa there Shig, lay off the free drinks the casino is feeding you...your speech is starting to slur...
Hehe, j/k. Can players buy gambling equipment yet for their houses/cantinas?

I already added this in one of my other thread but here goes: Devs could add this to swg as well as expansion. It will add more appreciation to cantinas besides jsut wating there for ur bf to heal. There will be a gambling section to teh major cantinas (another reason why walkable space stations should be in jtl..for hte gambling and roleplay aspect..and no lagg issue a single server can be used to load hte spacestation to take the load off of space servers)and card games like sabacc and others will be there. there will be an npc droid that deals out cards and pc players join in and play. Rules will be displayed atthe beginning of every game.Players will bet amounts of the credits they have in cash and ante up for hte upcoming game. at the beginning of each turn, a radial menu will show up giving options for all possible "moves," includingthe ability to CHEAT. It will increase the chance for u to win but there are consequences...
These consequences are shown at the end of the game. If u win and cheated, there is a random chance that the dealer droid "found out" that u cheated and then the other players will kno, and u will get a temporary tef that shows up for all players that played the same game at the same sabacc table.If u survive hte pending battle u walk off with a few more creds in hand if not, well... u simply lose all the credits taht u won from the match, including hte ones that u bet in; once db'ed one of the other card players loots and only the bet credits and won credits get removed from hte dead player and transferred evenly between all the card players of that match. Another addition to this could be a use for the fast talking ability in hte smuggler tree.Only smugglershave the abilityu get a certain +# mod to ur cheating ability (but any player canchoose to"cheat")which decreases the chance of u getting caught by the dealer droid. This will add much needed use to that skill tree in smuggler. This can add to the roleplay aspect of hte game which is currently at an all time low as well as a new source of income for all players. There can be the high stakes tables where hte minimum buy in is sumthing like 10 or 20k credits and then there are hte bargain tables where hte minimum buy in is like 100 credits, a good place to begin if u are new to gambling.
This would be a very fun addition to the game and can be achieved easily by the devs sincethey already have probability engines/algorithms in the game (6-sided cube, chance cube, the small game tables in certain cantinas).
While were at it, another player city building could be added that would be of great use, the CASINO.A portion of all wins will go towards the city's revenues, just like in real life =).
I will be posting more on this later, so fell free to tweak out my ideas and hopefully the devs will see this thread and implement gambling in a mini pub sooner or later.
Happy posting!
P.S. Sorry bout the typos hehe =)

The only profession I see being able to have the ability to drop a casino would be smuggler (master) and not have it be part of a cantina.
Or have a dual master smuggler with master muscian/dancer be able to have a cantina & casino.
