Drocket,

Is gambling still as big as ever? Has it grown or receded over the months?

I remember you putting up details about how much gold people burned on .games, and I was just wondering if you could provide an update. Thanks.

Ok, is there something ingame that I'm not aware of? What games in the WoD do we gamble with?
I ask this now because I am at work and only have access to the website and cant try .game

Thanks, Herakles

When you type .games you get to choose between poker and blackjack. Poker is more fun but you actually win gold with blackjack lol.

im a blackjack master hehe every time i play i won like 20k when i start with 5k

Gambling is definitely down quite a bit from when it was first introduced (which is pretty much normal: any new activity tends to get a lot of attention at first, then fade somewhat.) The stats for May are:

Jacks or Better Poker
Games: 884
Bets: 710628
Winnings: 587467

Blackjack
Games: 2298
Bets: 1839559
Winnings: 1981175

and the overall gambling stats (since they were added):

Jacks or Better Poker
Games: 22574
Bets: 16445952
Winnings: 15157511

Blackjack
Games: 15277
Bets: 8627963
Winnings: 9004634

Total:
Games: 37851
Bets: 25073915
Winnings: 24162145

There's definitely something wrong with Blackjack, though I'm not sure what it is... It SHOULD have about a 99.5% payback, but for some reason, it has a 104% payback. Hmm...

I'm not a numbers and maths person, or a scripting type, but the only idea that popped into my head could be the way the winnings are tallied. I remember a post with Simon(?) about if you bet 2k and win, it says you win 2k and not 4k. Could this be a problem?
