Serious question.

Is gambling (ie the roulette wheels in DoY and the jail house specifically) overpowered and/or exploitable?

Should you be able to gamble the large numbers you currently can, or should there be a limit to each roll of the wheel (say 10k, whatever).

I know in theory it's random and the casinos will rake in as much as they give out but....

All a bit iffy.

It shouldn't be hard to ensure the house wins in the long run just by setting the odds in their favour.

Of course, as has already been seen, errors can be made in implementation.

As long as the system is setup right I see no problem however if there is any doubt that it is I'd say dropping the stakes is a wise call.

I am not sure wether it is overpowered, hense why I am asking the community :D.

I just see a potential for it to easily fuck things up.

I have tested it.

There is still potential for bad stuff from it, just asking if others think so.

ive they had more games and you could choose how much you could bet, instead of set amounts, that'll be cool.

I can see where he's coming from - you have an NPC there that can hand out >300k credits per hit. If anything goes titsup with him people can milk him for cash. It's already happened once and it could happen again.

Whether it's a serious concern I'm not sure but it could be.
