Braavos Casino & Game Hall

South Bastion​

The Braavos Casino & Game Hall aims to bring entertainment to the world of Bastion. In planning for a month, the Casino intended to have slot machines. Though, due to redstone lag, and hoppers not quite working the way they should, the idea was scrapped. Our first game, roulette, was the next best thing! Currently players can join a game of roulette in any of the advertised times. In the near future, there will be more casino type games and other mini games in the main hall, and possibly other lots.

Proceeds from casino games go to the upkeep of the casino and other future lots, as well as mini game prizes and future events.

How to Play:​

Roulette is a rather simple game to play. A wheel and ball spin in opposite directions, and when the ball lands in a slot on the wheel, the corresponding number wins. The winning number also determines if bets made on Black, Red, Even or Odd win.

Braavos Roulette contains 38 numbers including 0 and 00.

Place your bets in the Casino Chat channel in the following format (alter it to match your bets):

<Your Name> bets: <coin> on <colour/number>, <colour/number>; <coin> on <colour/number>, <colour/number>, etc, Total <coin>.

Example:
Jonsoon bets: 50c on Black; 10c on Eeven; 5c on 4, 8, 11, 12, 17, 20, 22. Total: 100c

Then pay the game host your bet amount.

You may bet on any single number (1-34), Green, Even, Odd, Red or Black.

View the betting board while you play to view your bets.

Examples:​

Spoiler

This is the betting board that is found here. Player names are entered in the top right, and their bets are entered by the game host on their corresponding 'board' on the bottom.

Here you can see that Jonsoon is playing as Player 1. Be has bet 50c on Black; 10c on Even; 5c on4, 8, 11, 12, 17, 20, and 22, for a total bet of 100c.

The ball landed on Red 14, giving Jonsoon a payout of 20c, not a great round.

Jonsoon repeats his bet, this time it lands on Black 8, giving a payout of 265c!

Rules:​

• Do not spam the Casino Chat
• Do not interfere with the betting, or playing system
• Minimum bet of 5c, maximum bet of 500c per round. Each bet must be a multiple of 5c (the minimum bet)
• In the case of no quares lighting up, there will be a respin
• In the case two squares are lit up, there will be a respin

Payouts:​

Single Number - 34:1
Green - 8:1
Red or Black - 2:1
Even or Odd - 2:1

(More betting options such as 1-15/16-30 or column bets may become available latter)

Currently in testing, currently Free to Play. Please note that the slot machine is piston-heavy. If you have a slow computer, you should avoid playing.

How to play:​

Press the button, watch the blocks turn. In the future, there will be a cost of 1 gold nugget. It is all automated, so play as you please

Rules:​

• No refunds for unpaid winnings. Unfortunately, I am unable to determine if a claim is legitimate or not. Please notify Jonsoon if you are not paid so he can look into it.
• Do not interfere with other people playing. In the future there will be a door and only one person can play at a time.

Payouts:​

3 Gold Blocks in middle row = 1 Gold Ingot
3 Diamond Blocks in middle row = 1 Diamond
3 Emerald Blocks in middle row= 1 Emerald
1 or more Glowstone in middle row = Free Spin (it will spin automatically)

haha, I love casino games, always a lot of fun.

Glad you're doing this!

 

[Ghostkeep00]

This is fun as hell! can't wait to play again!

 

[Jonsoon]

We had a great turnout for our first game! 10 different people showed up in the hour and a half it was running, and took around 3,000c off the house! You guys suck! <3

We had a couple bugs, but that is what tests are for. Thank you all for your patience!

Be sure to follow this thread to find out the next hosted game time!

This is really cool, hope you work it all out!
I was hoping high level Merchants would be able to make casinos this map, but maybe this could be the next best thing.

 

[Symbolite]

Might stop by for the next scheduled event, sounds like fun. That and I love going to casino's in real life and roulette is one of my favorite games lol.

 

[Meditrina]

Can't wait to see this in action. Maybe make a few bets also

 

[DefaultTexture]

It was very fun earlier today. Despite a few delays because of the testing, I managed to lose a good 400c

 

[Xhazed]

I made 200c

Closed overnight for some light renovations.

[*]Fixing the bug where the pulse does not stop on a light.
[*]Adding 6 more squares to bring the total to 38. This will result in playing a true game of Amercian Roulette. Odds will be adjusted accordingly.

There is only about 30 minutes of redstone work left, then maybe an hour or so converting my spreadsheet.

maybe using minecarts as a concept ingame board would be something people will be able to do so ingame without too much of an issue with lag and feel more reassured that it was not rigged. Love your idea though!​

Thanks for the feedback!

While sethbling's concept is neat, it's exactly that - a concept. It cannot be brought to life the same way mine is. Problems with it:
It's not completely random. He said himself that one half of the board had better odds.
The mine cart can be interfered with
The bets can be picked up by other players
And the randomization could still in a way be 'fixed'

My roulette puts you on the edge of your seat as you watch the light go round and round in a circle, you never know where it will land! I use three RNGs that are attached to a AND gate. Only when all three are active will the light stop. There is a 12.5% chance ever two seconds that it will stop. (At least I think that's the math behind it)

I have shown off the mechanics to a few different people and will not hesitate to show it off to anyone who asks. It is not rigged and it is truly random. I press a button to activate the RNG, that's it.

I am a fairly reputable player, and I will not ruin that. Many people have trusted me with this game already.

In total i won around 2k of coins now >

[Dragonslayer314]

[Fjordsen]

Sounds fun, gotta try sometime.

If 3-Bit Random ICs were working on the server it would be very very easy to make slot machines.

If 3-Bit Random ICs were working on the server it would be very very easy to make slot machines.

All depends on what type of slot machine you are making. There are two types that I know of; droppers/hoppers, or pistons.

My original one used droppers and hoppers but I couldn't quite get it to work in SMP, and after extensive bug testing I give up. I hope to revisit this design with a new Engineer in my town once hoppers are enables again (if ever)
