I was recently scrolling through some of the old threads and came across a thread that caught my attention: Poker. Now, although I love poker, the game itself requires a currency to gamble and at this age level that idea would most likely be rejected. So then I began to think of other card games that could be played such as simply "Go Fish". My idea on the gambling was stuck in my mine however, so I decided to look at other games for ideas and era gave me a lightbulb. Players could buy tokens (a more western name could be acquired) which they would use for these games. These tokens could be purchased with gralats. There would also be different tables which players could grab to play one another or in groups like in many card games. Most of these games would only cost about 1-10 tokens. Each game would have a prize in tickets (the higher the tokens for the table the more the tickets), but you wouldn't have to gamble your gralats. For example, two players grab the table for the game "War" and each spend one token, whoever wins the game of "War" will be granted 10 tickets (for example). These tickets can then be used towards prizes. There could be many different card games such as "Spades/Hearts", "Go Fish", and "War". In addition, just because I like the idea of Poker still, what if players could grab a table for a specific amount of tokens and they would be granted temporary currency for that game of Poker (not out of your currency) and the player with all the temporary currency at the end would win. I believe this could give west more of a western style feeling when you walk into a saloon and give us something to do on our off time. Plus many of us could chase the prizes just like the era arcade. I would love to see this implemented so I can chill with my friends while we play a game of cards. What do you guys think?

In my opinion this is a great well thought out idea and I believe that this should be added  

Its gambling no matter how you spin it, why use all these fancy workarounds when we could just bet Gralats or free games and be done with it. Id really like some card games added, some texas holdem or really anything would be great.

This would mess up the economy, cause many to quit due to gambling issues and this is the best solution, that like saying putting a coin in an arcade machine is "gambling".

Edit: Not to also mention the ticket system for prizes...

If people have gambling issues thats their own problem, and I still dont like things like a ticket system, I dont like a ticket system for prizes, whats stopping 2 friends from buying a crapton of tokens and just grinding tickets off each other? At this point we should just leave it at gralats. And yes I believe an arcade machine is gambling.

I really want some card games in graal but its gonna have to be free or with gambling, none of this ticket token crap.

Your entitled to your opinion, just saying check out the game puzzle pirates. Poker has ruined that game due to how the gambling system works.  

then dont gamble  

I believe someone can argue that the gralats they gambled were purchased, implying it's internet gambling. I'm all for the gralats gambling idea but I'm not sure the admins are.  

My personal opinion they wont dev this especially since there is typically not even 2 people on average in the spar room the west population is soooo small  

I love your idea but i think it should just be gambling, there is probably young kids on this game but they probably have the swear filter off and i don't think gambling a in game currency is bad.....at all.

But here is one of my ideas(dont take thread off topic i hope)
They add a "Bar/Saloon" (like ur arcade name with a more westerner theme base) when you walk in the saloon/bar there is tables everywhere almost like trade tables but with different designs, also on the bar table buy able food and drinks like bread and beer(you already can buy beer in game, so beer is not bad) and when you walk up to a table u can grab it, basically your idea but not "go fish" lol that sounds to childish and i know that you gave it that name because yes there is kids on this game but lets face it, i think we all know that not a lot of kids play this game, (there is only like 300 people that play this)but anyways when u grab a table like u said there is credits(or just use or gralats) and then the more gralats or credits we put in give us a higher chance to win so say there is a 500 gralat table and a 1000 table, everyone that joins the 1000 table(maximum of like 5) has to put down 1000 and you have to put 1000 to play(no putting above 1000 though) no putting above 1000 so everyone odds are fair, it spins a wheel or does some random thing and the winner takes all but it does the same thing for every table (no matter what the amount of gralats is) also there should be custom tables where you can rent a table and choose how many players can join and the amount of money you wanna put up... say you and your friends wanna bet 100k gralats and you are both feeling lucky, you can buy this table and choose 2 people to join and your friend joins then u can do how ever much money you want, but to join however much money the person says they wanna do it for you have to put in before you join so u add money then u get in. there should also be a watch option so if someone is doing a huge bet everyone can watch and there should be like a leveling system so people know the #1 gambler, in my opinion west would be the best server if they added this in but i am like 80% they wont because they dont want us to have fun and i just wasted 5 minutes of my life typing this, oh well but last but not least these tables should be in bases, so while your basing you and your gang members can gamble instead of sitting there doing nothing,


STAFF PLEASE CONSIDER THIS (great idea night)  

I'm all for the gralat gambling honestly any way we can make this happen works for me, I just felt like a work around might work but if gralat gambling works then I'm all for it.

yeah  

In my opinion the only way a gambling system could work without causing gambling issues amongst players is if the currency for it is limited and cannot be traded.

Say you got a daily spin on a wagon wheel or something stupid, and that spin would give you X amount of tokens to use for that day. You could then spend those tokens at the casino playing any gambling game that you would prefer to play. IE Blackjack, Texas Holdem, Roulette, Slots, etc etc.

So in theory it could work. Idk, just something off the top of my head.

10 tokens daily for logging in.

tokens if not used withing a few days will disappear (to keep players from hoarding them)

Tokens should be used to exchange for rewards like food and maybe sellables to make a few G's

you can only exchange a max of 3 items per day

I like this, give like 10 chips daily for logging in. As long as these chips cant be bought only traded it seems good. Maybe a shop to exchange coins(no big stuff like weapons) for food, some gambling themed hats or clothes.
