Well the only way to prevent some methods of scamming via casinos would be to have the mods check them.
Not just checking for deliberate scams but players that have just set them up wrong.
If that’s not possible Drogo suggests players stick to reputable player casinos.
All Drogo has suggested

If mods are actively checking casinos already, then privating the droppers that control the odds like Drogo is suggesting, means that they never have to check them again.

 

this is a useless comment because it doesn’t add to the conversation whilst mine did lmao. i highly advise you that you use your common sense when making replies, IF you have any. but seeing since you made that immature comment, i don’t think so. oh and telling me to “be quiet” on a text platform was really hilarious, thanks for giving me quite the laugh on that one, seeing as we can’t talk and only text unless one sends a video reply.

and IF mods do actively check casinos, congratulations for them, i don’t stalk the moderators so how would i know? my apologies to everyone here that do go out of their way to go stalk a mod’s actions, but as a player, i don’t need to do that. it just seems really futile for a mod to be checking casinos when they may have better things to do. it just seems highly unbelievable. maybe the mods that are super dedicated to their job, maybe, but i can only see this as a select few. if it’s the entire staff, then all i have to say is wow. is that what the staff team has become?
KhalDrogo i hope this adds to the conversation

and queen, stay mad sweetie i always knew you were the jealous type since i first met you

 

you know little about casinos, if a dropper is locked the randomizer doesnt work altogether, theres a lot more issues with your suggestion, some mentioned by leo, and a lot of other issues like the fact that only a portion of casinos work like you say, theres many many more types of casinos that simply dont work the way this suggestion implies and they would probably become even more popular if this was implemented, also you cant just make extra redstone obligatory in a server with redstone limit, some casinos just cant take more redstone circuits. Also i consider most of this suggestion inconsequent since scamm casinos are already a reportable offense. I just dont see the need to make mods or casino builders jump trough hoops when we dont make mods check/aprove every single chestshop in the server looking for scams (like common items renamed to diamond or other valuable item) or check every log searching chat offenses, its just not necessary when reports are a thing and scam casinos are uncommon, unpopular, and almost always are reported. I have yet to see a scam casino thats succesfull, they are deeply unpopular, even more when considering how much casinos rely on reputation. Scam casinos are a problem but not a fraction of the size this suggestion implies, not to mention the total lack of sense when it comes to mods time.

Also, i wont be replying further to not engage in debate of a topic that doesnt need it for its simplicity, i just wanted to explain why i dont support this suggestion.

 

I agree! Would be nice for just random inspections. If you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have to worry. And if you are, well tough luck #LOL!

Don't be disgusting.

 

i dont appreciate hate comments being made towards me for no reason whilst derailing the thread as well and mods won't do anything about it soooo...

omg spoken like a true king. i kinda agree with him tbh but i'm still gonna keep my neutral only cuz I don't think this will go somewhere but it'd be nice to see an attempt for this change

 

I don't think your supposed to make your decision based on whether or not you think it will be accepted or not but what you actually think of the idea mate

 

if you look at my first post here, you can see my original opinion. i saw his and agreed but still kept my opinion. didnt bounce off of his idea

 

Correct, Dropper odds systems can't be locked. This only highlights the lack of controls that can be put in place.

The extra redstone to deactivate empty casinos doesn't impact redstone limit as you think it does. You are not limited in how much redstone you put down, but how often it fires and this will only fire once and only if your casino is empty.
This auto shutdown feature protects both parties because if your prize dispenser runs empty, and it doesn't need to be deliberate, the reputation of the casino owner will drop and as you said, reputation is an important factor in how profitable a casino can be. There are casinos that state things like "Only 3 top tier prizes available". Well, as soon as one is won, that statement is incorrect and there is a good chance that said casino will be played after it runs out.

Scam casinos are very different to scam shops selling renamed items in that if you buy cobblestone renamed diamond, you know instantly that you have been scammed and and you report it. There is no way to ensure the casino odds are correct or if advertised rewards are actually in the prize dispenser so there are a number of ways you could be scammed by a casino and you wouldn't even know.


Drogo has already said that the majority of casinos are run reputably but there certainly exist a system within this game in which a player can scam others and the only way to prevent it or even know it's happening is for moderaters to check them so the fact that it is a reportable offense is useless because no one would know to report it.

 

So Today, Drogo added the auto shutdown feature to MagikIsAMush's Casino. (the top tier crate at least). It took a total of two minutes.

Drogo also found another casino that was operating without the advertised prize while the player is auto advertising his other casino bringing players to his island. No idea how many people lost out to that today but anyone who used it today, paid 6 grass for 1 iron.

He is AFK advertising a single grand prize in his main casino all day long. If it is won at any stage, he's not there to stop advertising it!!

 

This is terrible. Maybe KhalDrogo , you ought to run an advertisement advertising against the use of casinos...!

 

Drogo tried that but it was shot down. Drogo is now trying to help by recommending systems that can be put in place to help ensure players don't get ripped off.

 

No support. Should not be promoting gambling to children; it only teaches them a very real and serious addiction.

 

Drogo absolutely agrees with this statement.
