THE SNAKE’S DEN CASINO

GRAND OPENING TUESDAY, 7PM EST – 9PM EST

GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION WILL INCLUDE A RAFFLE

STILL HIRING

 

       The Snake’s Den Casino is the newest venture in a string of companies founded by Durant Goldhand. The Snake’s Den is located at Sabo’s Sq. 1, Formerly a landmark tavern in Ves, the facility was purchased by Durant Goldhand in 1729, to be reformed into a high-class casino, the likes of which have never been seen in history. Small gambling institutions have existed throughout the ages, but none have withstood the test of time, nor been able to garner such a robust consumer base. In the Golden City, the fortress of opportunity, this once fanatical notion can become a reality. For both the businessman and patron, this institution serves to provide an incredible amount of entertainment to our customers, and a center of economic development for the city’s residents. In addition to providing a venue for gambling, the Snake’s Den also offers multiple other services to our patrons, such as alcohol, venues, and VIP benefits

CASINO TOKENS

 

       Casino tokens – sometimes referred to as casino chips or poker chips – are the central currency used when placing bets in various games. The casino sells these tokens for their corresponding denominational value, and you can then bet the equal amount in any game. These tokens exist for the purpose of easily counting minae, preventing fraud during gameplay, and for easy transfer of winnings from one player to another. After you’ve finished gambling for the night, you can then redeem your tokens at the same location for 90% of it’s original value. This is because the house collects 10% of the earnings on all winnings to keep the facility running, pay employees, and afford to payout larger prizes to our luckiest winners. It’s the house’s primary source of income. Don’t worry – you’ll still keep the vast majority of your winnings, as you are entitled to!

GAMES

As for the actual games provided by the Snake’s Den, we currently provide four official games: Cretzer Craps, Poker Dice, Goldhand Roulette, and Chicken. As of right now, those games should suffice all essential gambling needs, but in the near future we plan to expand our selection to include Ulug Blackjack, Vesian Chess, and even automated gambling machines with new-age technology!

 

((OOC NOTES))

• Note that either due to in-game restrictions, or for the sake of simplicity, many games have been dulled down to accommodate for server limitations. Even if you think you understand the basis of a game – which is helpful – I’d implore you to read the full-length rules below to play the game properly.
• When placing bets, there’s a small chest underneath/next to each table. Place your tokens in this chest. The winner may freely take the tokens they are entitled to.
• All actions are reflected by using /roll

 

II.1

GOLDHAND ROULETTE

Players: 1+

Maximum Bet: 200

Difficulty: Easy

       Goldhand Roulette is anticipated to be a more popular game, due to it’s simplicity and effortlessness. Roulette is the only game that requires a dealer present to operate, as instead of playing against other casino patrons, you’re playing against the house. This is a game found almost exclusively in casinos, and is beloved by novice gamblers for it’s simple rules and luck-based victory. The objective of the game is to place bets on different numbers, and to hope that, after a ball is flung into a spinning wheel, one of your numbers is selected. Due to it’s simplicity, multiple players can “play,” and theoretically can hold as many players as the dealer feels comfortable handling in a single game.

 

HOW TO PLAY;

1. Approach the roulette table, and the present dealer. Ensure you have your tokens on your person, otherwise you will not be allowed to play.
2. Tell the dealer what type of bet you’d like to make, and for how much. You may place multiple bets on various different locations on the board, so long as your total bet does not exceed 200 minae.
3. When the dealer says “NO MORE BETS,” no more bets may be placed by any players, and the game begins.
4. A ball will be rolled into the wheel, and shall land into one of the 37 slots. If the ball lands into a number you’ve bet on, you shall be appropriated the proper payout in tokens. If not, your tokens are returned back to the house.

 

TYPES OF BETS;

• REDS, 1:1 – If the ball lands on a red number, you will receive twice your original bet.
• BLACKS, 1:1 – If the ball lands on a black number, you will receive twice your original bet.
• EVENS, 1:1 – If the ball lands on an even number, you will receive twice your original bet.
• ODDS, 1:1 – If the ball lands on an odd number, you will receive twice your original bet.
• LOWS, 1:1 – If the ball lands on a number 1 – 18, you will receive twice your original bet.
• HIGHS, 1:1 – If the ball lands on a number 19 – 36, you will receive twice your original bet.
• COLUMNS, 2:1 – There are three Column bets; 1-12, 13-24, and 25-36. If you place a bet on any of these and a number in your column is selected, you will receive thrice your bet.
• DOZENS, 2:1 – There are three Dozens bets; top row, middle row, and bottom row. If you place a bet on any of these and a number in your row is selected, you will receive thrice your bet.
• SQUARE, 6:1 – This bet is placed on four numbers sharing one corner. If the ball lands on any of those four numbers, you receive 7x your original bet.
• STREET, 8:1 – This bet is placed on any three adjacent numbers in a column, going straight up and down. Payout from this is 9x the original bet.
• SPLIT, 10:1 – This bet is placed on any two adjacent numbers, and offers a payout of 11x the original bet.
• STRAIGHT UP, 12:1 – This is a bet on any single number. Payout is 13x the original bet.

 

((Payouts are expected to gradually reflect actual roulette payouts as the casino becomes more stable.))

 

II.2

CHICKEN

Players: 2

Minimum Bet: 25

Difficulty: Easy

       Chicken is a simplistic card game, formulated by bored tavern-go’ers. Players are granted stacks of cards descending in numerical order, and are both to rapidly play their hands unto the table in front of them. The game can be played starting with cards labeled at either 100, 50, or 25, depending on the length of the desired game. The objective is to be the first individual to draw a “One” card.

 

HOW TO PLAY;

1. Both individuals are to place a bet of identical amount.
2. Decide who’s to go first. If there’s disagreement, flip a coin ((/roll 2))
3. The first player will draw the top card ((/roll 100, 50, or 25))
4. The card drawn will then be the highest number the next player can draw ((/roll the number drawn by the previous player))
5. The other player then continues the process, until one of the pair have drawn a one.
6. If, at any time, either player feels as if they may lose, they may call “CHICKEN” to keep half of their bet (A quarter of the pot). Calling “CHICKEN” essentially means you forfeit the game, but keep half of your bet, while your opponent receives ¾ of the pot.
7. If neither player calls “CHICKEN,” and the game ends in drawing a “One” card, then the victor will keep the entire pot.

 

((

• P1 /roll 50, gets 34
• P2 /roll 34, gets 27
• P1 /roll 27, gets 12
• P2 /roll 12, gets 4
• P1 /roll 4, gets 2
• P2 /roll 2, gets 1, wins

II.3

CRETZER CRAPS

Players: 2 – 4

Minimum Bet: 50

Difficulty: Moderate

       Cretzer Craps has been a staple gambling game for the last century. In the 1640’s, the Landsknecht Soldiers had to find ways of entertaining themselves while also keeping their games quick and easy so they could play them between duties, picket and sentry shifts. The game is relatively fair for all players involved and is hard to best with cheating, which are two upsides to incoming players. The objective of the game is to be the first player to roll a 7 or 11.

 

HOW TO PLAY;

1. All players must initially agree to bet the same amount into the pot. On any respective player’s turn, they may opt to raise their bet, so long as another player is willing to match them.
2. Before the game or round, each player will roll one of their die (/roll 6) to determine who goes first when the game starts. Highest number wins. Once the game starts, turns will be taken clockwise from the person who rolls first.
3. Once the game or round begins, the starting player will roll both their dice (/roll 12). Players will take turns doing this until someone wins or all but one are eliminated. Every player doesn't roll their dice at the same time.
4. Each player is trying to roll a 7 or 11. If the dice land on either of these numbers, the person who rolls them wins instantly. Other players do not roll their dice and the game ends right there.
5. If a player rolls a 2, 3 or 12 they lose instantly and must sit out until the game is complete.
6. Any other number rolled neither wins nor loses the game. You simply await your next turn.
7. The victor keeps all the chips in the pot.

 

II.4

POKER DICE

Players: 2 – 6

Minimum Bet: 25

Difficulty: Advanced

       Poker Dice is an essential Vesian pastime. Enjoyed originally by local guards, the game has expanded to become the Kingdom’s most beloved game, perhaps next to chess. The game involves using regular numbered die, but rolled into a cup by all players to receive their “hand.” The goal of the player is to receive the best hand, in accordance to traditional poker rankings.

 

HOW TO PLAY;

1. All players must initially agree to bet the same opening amount into the pot – usually 25 mina in low stakes games, 50 in high stakes games.
2. All players then roll their 6-sided dice five times, to create their hand.
3. After all players have their initial hand, any player may opt to raise the bet, either as a method of intimidation or a route to gain more chips when encountered with a potential win. All players must then either respond by matching the bet (Or, if the don’t have enough to match,  to go all-in), or folding. Folding is a strategy used by players who’re pessimistic about their odds of winning, and don’t wish to lose anymore money.
4. After raising, any player who wants to re-roll any of their dice may do so.
5. The new numbers received are the players’ new, and final hand. The individual with the highest ranking poker hand is the victor, receiving the pot. If there is no clear victor, the tied players may re-roll once again.

 

POKER HAND RANKINGS FROM HIGHEST TO LOWEST;

• Five-of-a-kind, where all dice are of the same value
• Four-of-a-kind, where four of five dice are of the same value
• Full House, where you have one pair and one three-of-a-kind
• Six High Straight, where a 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are rolled
• Five High Straight, where a 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are rolled
• Three-of-a-kind, where three dice show the same value
• Two pairs, where the player has two separate matching pairs of dice
• Pair, where two dice match
• Junk, where all dice are mismatched
