The Star Wars galaxy has Sabacc. Appearantly there are some guides how to actually play the game (based on the old West End Game rules), and I think some actual programs for it. It wouldn't be a stretch to create a computer version of it (from what I've read, in universe the Sabacc cards are digital anyway).

i'd MUCH rather have Sabacc in game than any variation of Poker.

it wouldn't take much to make a Sabacc mini-game i'm sure...

in the meantime i've come up with a few games using dice, and even one using "cards". they're pretty fun and interesting.

Yeah, no limit texas hold em' between players would be really cool...

YES!!! Gambling!!!

Interactive instead of silly terminals and jubilee wheels

like in KotoR...the way you can play pazaak. That would friggin dominate

I must agree, gambling would totally rule, but have it in player cities only, in cantina's or variations of, and the city gets a % of the stake.

Gambling already exists in-game. Go to a major city and check out the back of a hotel.

Unfortunately, the interface does not exist - it's all done with / commands, and the credit limits are laughably low.

It's too bad they wouldn't at least add a decent interface - but like fishing, it seems to be a legacy problem they'd rather ignore.

AO

I play the jubille wheel

I have a macro to bet 190k on red/black/odd/even/high/low (I press one of 6 macros)

It bets 10k on each of the 18 in the group then 10k on the named for a toal of 190k

Took a newbie on another server with 300k to 4.4 mil once .. lost it all though

When you read the description of Sabaac, it's just Pazaak from KotOR 1&2. Sabaac is the offspring of that game, and instead of stopping on 20, it stops on 26. If they could swing the general coding from the Knights games onto SWG (regarding pazaak), you'd see some cool times. Imagine the high stakes games you could get into....

Bets would be placed in a trade window that you couldn't cancel. Once you confirm your bet, that's it. Disconnect results in automatic loss to prevent people from trying to drop in order to renege on a bet.

You know you'd love to play a hand of Sabaac and walk away with someone's personally modified YT-1300.....

i haven't played KOTOR yet, so i'm not sure how Pazaak is played. but Sabacc has been around a lot longer in the EU literature (in our time).

but from what i've read Pazaak and Sabaccdohave similar ideas.

Sabacc has one feature that really sets it apart from any "poker" style of game. in thatthe cards are actuallyelectronic chips, andany card may change its value at any time throughout the game, unlessyou place the card face up on thetable energy-field that prevents them from shifting... i'm not sure if Pazaak has that feature.
