    At least 640g given the profit margin made.

    There are enough casinos on the server as is. Part of the reason casinos are worthwhile is because there are relatively few good ones that work well. If you start building casinos without demanding a prohibitively high price, the value and effectiveness of casinos as revenue generators will decrease greatly. After all, if everyone has one, then everyone will get less grass from them.

    Having owned and run a casino for a month thus far, I've already begun to experience this problem. Although it has not yet become an acute concern, a certain player has been running around building casinos for the low price of 3 to 5 stacks grass. This has already diverted a not inconsiderable sum of my income, but thankfully it's been slowly improving these past few weeks.

    TLDR: If you want to keep existing casinos well patronized and effective, either desist completely from building new ones(except for yourself) or charge a DC or more. You'll make more money for yourself, and be able to hedge against any risk of that newly minted casino stealing your business.

    Whilst I agree with your point Gamer, I don’t take into consideration your profits when deciding whether to build a casino. I try and offer a competitive price based on the player, the actual work it will take and what it’s worth to me.

    I get messaged multiple times a day by people wanting a casino because they know how successful mine was and our coops is due to the advertising we put into it and it’s long standing.

    And let’s be honest, there being 1000 more casinos out there won’t change your profits if you run it and advertise it correctly. (Which you do, I believe)

    I quote 14-20 stacks for a build, which a lot of the people who are looking for a casino think is expensive but when I tell them the profit a good casino can make in a day it’s not an issue. At its best my casino would make 5-10 stacks of grass a day. But it took constant advertising.

    also I can only name a handful of casinos I myself play at and recommend to others, based on quality of prizes, decent price, and the condition of the casino.

    TLDR Sell casinos cheap, if mine is better run the profits won’t change.

    I have a superstitious theory that if the owner of the casino is watching customers spin, they're more likely to win prizes. On opening day for my casino, Grassystring300 took my elytra on his 12th try, and I lost two legendary keys shortly after to other lucky people.

    Also, to address your response to my previous post, I have considered it from your viewpoint before. You make a valid argument as to why having more casinos would be mostly innocuous, and I am largely inclined to agree. Perhaps I'm just being petty and crying over a few lost grass. For the vast majority of my Skyblock career, I've mainly done shops and small trades, so I've very little experience with head trading and casinos until now.
