Can we talk about gambling?

[Banana_Duck 121]

Gambling, I don't know where to start...

If we assume that friendly settlements will be added (either modded or not) gambling would be a great distraction from the cruel world of dayz.

Now I'm not suggesting massive skyscraper casinos with 100 players all gambling and not playing the game, I'm thinking small amounts of areas with gambling areas in said "safe zones" loot could be given a "gambling value" to know how much you can revive and bet.

 

Or maybe only hostable at player built bases? giving the "pit boss" feeling for the builders of the base! hosting personal games.

I'm not suggesting things like slots, poker or anything that takes ages, but small wasteland games e.g

•  that 3 cup and ball game
•  some quick card games
• Russian Roulette 
•  (suggestions welcome!)

Loot would be the main source of currency, maybe you could select the items you desire from the gambling stand and bet an amount (in your goods) that matched (suggestions needed here)

 

 

What's your view in this? Help me expand my ideas, if you see a flaw or have criticism to this thread please provide a remedy or balance to your comment, to add some more construction to this thread.

Red Dead Redemption comes to mind, imo it should work like that - small tables set up for poker, blackjack, or whatever. You could even play the knife game (five finger fillet), all you need is a knife and a hard surface. But you would run the risk of stabbing your own hand and temporary "disabling" it, which could easily cost you your own life in the apocalypse

 

The chips and cards for the various card games could be found in pubs/cafes

[BratExecutioner 27]

 Poker Texas Hold'em.

Safe zones... Nope.

[NagsterTheGangster 388]

Gotta feeling people would bet like, hundreds of matches or some shit or just useless shit to play with.

 

I like the idea, i like gambling, I dont like safezones though so thats one thing I would somehow work around.

And Russian roulette would be fun lol

well perhaps player built bases? that might be interesting, a tight knit underground gambling club!

In the future crafting items list,there could be player crafted slot machines.Now if instead of coins,you fill it up with bean cans or something
gambling could work 😉 As,for blackjack,roullete etc...i don't know.

You're already gambling with your life as soon as you log into the game. Involuntary roulette.

 

Next!

If I had to chose one thing, it would have to be Russian roulette, player against player, winner takes all goods.

Surely someone could make a mod?

One thing I want to do would be to host a Fight club since fist fighting has been added. People could bet with random items or mainly high grade ammo, and a medic could standby with a defibrillator and medical equipment.

If they could could make it where you could only have one bullet in a random cylinder coupled with the suicide option and it would work perfectly.

I reckon it wouldn't be hard for the devs to implement a "Spin cylinder" script for the magnum which would randomize the order of the rounds going off.

[byrgesen 1341]

Not bad.

But i would much rather see theese items in the world, so players can find them and find people to "play" with.
We should not have any dedicated "safe-zone-gambling-den" anywhere, players need to create that on they're own :)

But it would be nice to run into a stranger and yell "Wanna play Russian roulette" :D

Well, i don't see how this would work withouth a safezone. If you want to play some roulette, start the game, and notice the guy you're playing against has a friend with a pistol that's coming your way you're basically fudged. It's just too risky to actually gamble against someone withouth protection from firearms in my opinion.

[dallas 5195]

Safe zones... Nope.

To be fair, he did correctly put "safe zones" in quotes.

Just like you put "Friendly" and "PvE servers" in quotes or like if someone tells you to please not shoot, and you say "Okay" while making air quotes.

[Tarkules 153]

This spambot is doing a great job

[KajMak64Bit2 125]

have a safe zone like in Rust or maybe like Rust Swamp Settlement where you can bet and all that 😛 i would have DayZ economy run similar to Metro game series economy... bullets... have military grade and homemade bullets... 🙂 AK bullets or even mosin bullets... by that i mean 7.62x39 and 7.62x54mmR 😄

Played it last night, with a shotgun. Did not take all though, as the other guy was stupidly geared and I travel light.

Hey there! How about adding a "Survivor's Poker Night" where players wager on food, medical supplies, or ammo? It keeps the stakes high. The cup and ball game could evolve into a makeshift "Loot Lottery," adding an element of chance. Also, a "Wasteland Auction" where players bid on hidden crates with unknown loot—risk and reward in every gamble. However, remember to play safe. Anyway, which games can you guys advise on? I'll be grateful for your suggestions!
