Has anyone heard anything about if/when gambling tables might become functional? At this point, I'd even be happy to hear unsubstantiated rumors. I've got a growing collection of these things and I'd be thrilled to open a casino rather than keep them stacked up in my house (yeah, I'm sure I'm the only one with this issue....)

I haven't even heard any rumors that these things will work any time soon. Perhaps in the Smuggler Revamp... but who knows. It may be just another one of those items that never work, like a ton of other items in this game.
Still, in the last room of my museum, I'm creating a small casino.

Clicking use 40 times gives us our smuggler revamp, 300 milion credits, and a signed letter of apology from Hayden Blackman

Rumor I heard is if you click it 'use' 100 times on each of the first Mondays in months with the letter 'r' you'll unlock a new title: 'Master Fool'

In one of the revamp docs, didn't the devs state that smugglers would be able to put casinos in player cities? Maybe this is the start?

Oh great...yet another crafting skill. Now we'll be architects as well.
So 'smuggler' to SOE means an artisan of gaming furniture and a building contractor for casinos?
Am I the only one that thinks this is INCREDIBLY lame?

I don't think he means that we CRAFT the Casino's
Just that we place them, just like you need a doc to place a med center, or a Dancer to place a cantina/theater.
In that case, I think it's pretty cool, but they would need to make the casino pretty GD nice to make me care, without our revamp.
Oh god, never mind.
If the devs think us placing a casino is cool, they'll give us that, and push the revamp back even FARTHER!!

Man, chill out. We wont build the casinos... Archeticts will. We will just place them. Like you need to be a Master Dancer/Musician/Chef to place a cantina or a Master Doctor to place a medical center. They don't make them.
I hope the Devs do let us place casinos... that would be incredibly cool. I've always wanted one.
Sure it's odd that we're crafting Bubble Tanks and Gambling Tables... but I look at it this way: hey, atleast the Devs gave us something somewhat useful to craft. I'm glad we got them.

I don't think it's lame. These peripheral things, the bubble tanks and gambling tables and the possibility of casinos, those can all be cool. They certainly shouldn't be the most content we get, but they do add some flavor, some flexibility to the way we can decide to play our smugglers and criminals, and the value of that flexibility is not something to be underestimated.
In fact, the thing I do think would be lame is if the revamp comes along and suddenly the only thing we CAN do is smuggle. Don't get me wrong: smuggling should be the centerpiece of this profession, the single thing that's most involved and gets the most developer attention. But if it were the only thing we could do--if for some crazy reason they stripped us of the ability to slice, to mess with spice, to deal in faction points or even something as negligible as the gambling tables, which like I say would be totally crazy but sometimes it sounds like what some people advocate--I would be furious. It would be like we waited all this time for a revamp and when it came, instead of being one big bound over the horizon, it would be about three steps forward, two steps back, and eight or twenty to the side. The smuggler profession is the only one we've got that's explicitly criminal, and to actually want to remove the dynamicism of our calling just because you're so wrapped up in smuggling it's all you can think about--I think that would be a huge disservice to the smuggler community and the wide variety of players within it.
