Casino Gambling

The Story So Far...

  In April of 2001, 3 Casinos appeared.  The folks running these casinos accept numerous items for gambling, but beware, gambling can become quite addictive...

Step 0: Preparation

  You will want the following before you go traipsing off to your nearest casino:

  • Lots of cash!  Casino Game masters only accept C Notes and lower, so cash in hose M notes before you go!

  • Pack Dolls - If you wish to risk your pack dolls, they are accepted as well for some potentially nice prizes

  • The website for Gambler's Anonymous :) - Gamblers Anonymous - Official website

Step 1: Pick a Casino

  Below is a list of casino location, type, and the town they are nearest to.  The only real difference between them is the type of food you get as a door prize.  Here are the locations:

  Ok, now that we've talked about gambling for money, let's talk about gambling pack dolls.  As you can see above, you have the potential of winning pack dolls in the high-stakes gambling.  If you do, you can keep them, or risk them for something even better...  Talk to the owner of the casino.  He accepts pack dolls and give the below items at the following rough odds:

Pack Doll Prizes and Odds

Golden Key

  • Tiny Shards are used in the Shadowhunter Armor Quest

  • Golden Gromnies are (as of the November 2001 patch) very valuable as they are needed to purchase a mansion.

  • Golden Keys are used to open the big gold chest in the middle of each casino.  Use the key on the chest and you will get somewhere around 10-15 items of SiK chest quality.

  • Pyreal Peas are worth a good amount to mages, and sell very nicely at the Mayoi mage shoppe.
