[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8050865, member: 6855114"] No matter what people say, you'll never win against a casino. The house will always win in the end. We have a festival around here and to finance it we used to make an event based on casino. Fake money all the time, but the first 10 to become billionaires would gain the entry to the black jack table and I was the dealer. A lot of people were laughing when I was telling them that the goal at my table was not to be the first billionnaire, but to be the last at my table and though people were starting with 50k, the minimum bets were 1k, the table rarely went past and hour and half. Only once in 10 years have I seen someone actually rise to one million at my table. Just to say that winning is not a common thing. But the prizes were fine, the event was bringing about 10k in revenues for the festival, which was their biggest income beside selling beer at the festival itself and the selling of entrance passes. One woman actually accused me of cheating because she was losing. You should always take gambling for what it is, a sure way to lose money. But it can be fun if you do it for the good reasons. Having a good time and enjoying the "atmosphere". As for the topic. Nope, fixed damage is not for my tables. How would I fireball my players with a 48 damage fireball of 8d6 otherwise? I want to be able to do that again! (I also did an 8d6 fireball dealing a miser 10 points... such is my luck...) [/QUOTE]
