Gambling tables

I think it'd be really awesome to have some sweet gambling kind of games, like glitch-ized versions of poker or blackjack or other card games, with a nice betting system implemented. Or even other things, like betting on races, playing dice, craps, roullette and other casino style games, but all in various weird glitchy vesions that are different from their RL counterparts, and have funny different names and things, I feel like games like this would open up more players to glitch, and also be a nice break for the occasionally monotonous amassing of resources. It would also encourage more p2p interaction in-game, which is something I find slightly lacking as of now.

  • Yeah, well... I'm gonna go build my own MMO, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the MMO!

    In all seriousness, sounds like fun, although TS most likely has a lot on their plate right now, and this sounds like it wouldn't be a quick thing to develop.

  • -1  Glitch has a certain quirky atmosphere to it, and to me, the idea of building casinos does not seem to fit in with Glitch or Ur, even with different names and art.  Also, it's been done, and done, and overdone, and DONE.  You can find a billion gambling games anywhere on the web, so I'd rather see new features with more imagination here on Glitch.

    I agree that p2p interaction is lacking, but I'd also like to see that be more cooperative rather than competitive.  And slots, roulette and blackjack don't really encourage actual interaction with the other players, only the machine or the guy running the table.

  • Multiple people can bet on roulette, I specifically left out slots on purpose, and there doesn't have to be a dealer for blackjack. The difference between this gambling game, and other gambling games? This ones in glitch, and YOU don't have to play it. No offense intended.
