LordDraxus Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 When I first flew to Nar Shadaa and saw that there were casinos, I became stoked at the possibility of doing some gambling and hopefully winning some credits.... to no avail. Even before I purchased the game when I was waiting for it to come out I'd hoped there would be gambling in swtor. Anybody else agree? Add some casino games devs please! Add pod racing on Tatooine and let us gamble on the outcomes! lol it would be epic! swoop races! pazaak! Anyone else agree?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even play against other players and earn social points in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenrik Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Yeah could be cool and I'd love to see a use for those floating casino's in Nar Shaddaa. Problem is the rating system. I think there are rules against outright gambling in games that "minors" play. Hopefully there's a loophole or workaround. If there's enough skill in these games I can see money being taken from another player as a "reward." But if it's just luck that's a different story.

Shammus Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've actually been hoping they would add additional mini games similar to the space combat.. I'd like to see pazaak, holochess, etc..etc.. woudl make it interesting... And I still think we will see it someday, I'm just not sure how they would implement it into an mmo... but would love to see it. I would drop this in the suggestion box.

Quarrel Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 YEs, I was VERY disappointed when I couldn't gamble my credits away. This is a perfect spot for another mini game. /BUMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'd like to see this as well. It would bring people to social spaces and make the community more alive. I'd also like to see the casinos no longer be faction-locked because there's absolutely no reason for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfninjajedi Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Would be good....until the parents start complaining that their child is being shown gambling and that its bad. So....lets get this straight, killing npcs and doing some rather evil things(if your darkside) isn't as bad as gambling and sexual themes? This has always puzzled me about society, they say no to gambling/sexual stuff....but they are ok with violence and other dark stuff?...

Norpsent Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 i couldnt agree more ive recently posted a thread about pod racing and this is the same sort of idea having mini games with in tor to keep things interesting would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarichoWren Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 One of the pazaak tables at one of the casinos on NS glows blue and will let you right-click on it but says it isnt excepting new players at this time. Makes me wonder - when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimoto Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I don't remember age requirement to Fallout New Vegas, but that game has those slot machines in the casinos and they get away from it just fine. So it's not gambling player vs. player but player vs. game. There are some slot machines around in the casinos in this game too, used as inactive decoration, so doing something similar would probably not be a bad idea. In Fallout New Vegas, the player vs. game gambling is a mini game, very simple. You place some credits, pull the lever and hope for three bananas or whatever.

Massimoto Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 is this whole "no gamblin in ma child game yoo" something new? Don't know and don't care myself, but everything is so disgustingly politically correct now a days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebre Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 YEAH PAZAAK AND SWOOP AND MAYBE DEJARIK OR WHATEVER IT'S NAME IS /sign /agree /musthave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDraxus Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 I went into the Impirial casino on Nar Shadaa and there wasn't a table availabe to highlight..... But yeah, pazaak in the casino and swoop races on tatooine for starters lol. What would also be really cool is if you could bet credits against other players in duels, or have an arena where you can bet credits, like a tournament or something.

tarkusnl Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 it would give a great playful twist to this great game....gambling with yer own money. But i guess thist is not crucial for this game's developpers at the moment regarding the bugs and the improvement on f.i. the UI and the Galactic market I hope they will consider the casino for some day...
