Casino Rules:

Belzbet

First Post
one of my PC's wants to make a Casino. She wants to run games like dice (10,000) and poker and even magic the gathering (where I would play an NPC and she would paly the house, very good RP opportunity). She wanted to gain money doing do. I have looked through DMG2 and the business rules I want something different. I was thinking INSTEAD of a roll every month (like the rules in the DMG2 pg. 180 suggest) and gaining (or losing) the said gp I (the Dm behind the scenes) roll 3 d20's every month (week, etc) and the player picks either 1, 2 or 3. I before hand designate one to give a negative modifier (so if the PC picked this d20 she would lose the money instead of gaining it). This to me reflects the winning losing variable in a casion also it gives the house a 2/3 percent chance to win since two of the three d20s are positve and one at my choice is negative i choose before I see the results of the die . Also, I make it a very high stakes business where your profit is high (100gpXprofit rating instead of 50gpX profit rating)... otherwise the rules I am thinking of work very similar to those in DMG2... has anyboby tried anything different.. any thoughts??

Also we are going to play games on the spot (like a game with our real magic cards) we will bet money and if the house wins she gains if the house loses she loses. This would be in ADDITION to the rolls made every month...
 

If you want more clarification ask (becasue you know how it is easier to understand things you write yourself than it is for others to understand it :)).
 



Based on the laws of probability, you cannot win in a casino at most of the games. You can get away with card counting for a while, but eventually the casino will show you the door politely. Or not, depending on who runs it.

That makes the Donald's bankrupting a casino that much more mind boggling.

Yeah I should say that we switch house sometimes (meaning i play house instead of her)... Also in games that we are playing there is no inherit house edge... Also, I dont want to emulate real casino odds so i think 2/3 is enough yeah my PC will win most of the rolls but she may not so that variability is fun.. also the winnings from businesses is low...
