This suggestion is half-serious... Minecraft Name: I don't know. Suggestion: Add Texas Hold Em and Blackjack to official server gambling options. Reason: It beats lottery/Hunger Games, it can take money out of the economy, and Andrewkm can finally beat us at something. Any Other Information: Big Macs have 550 calories.

This could indeed be a good idea. It's making more user-to-server interaction and thats always good. Not to mention we are also throwing out more money out of the economy. The problem is, would people really go for this, seeing that there already is a lotto? I mean, at first times they probably would, because it is new. But later in like two months, seeing there is lottery, I don't really know if people would go for it. Oh and, before I forget. Are you coming back to ECC, where have you been? I have a bigmac ready for your return ;-)
Poker and Blackjack both involve luck and skill, whereas the only skill in lottery is how fast you can type /lot buy 1000. The "fun factor" in these table games over the lottery will surely increase user participation. To answer your second question, I come back to ECC once in a while when I have time. Homework has been taking priority over farming pumpkins lately. I'll be a bit more active this week because I have a week of spring break ahead of me. I'm looking forward to that Big Mac though.
This will probably be the only server with this plugin... lol +1. It could attract attention, and it is unique. (Andrewkm you can still steal money out of the economy from this plugin! It is a fun plugin, also)
YESSSSSS! I love playing poker, at least, when I don't lose real cash, but I'd have EcoDollars! This would be so awesome I could just see all the mods sitting around a table, going at each other in poker ARRR, I want this so badly!!! I usually don't use casinos, but this would change that. I would be broke in days I actually hate lotto, it's boring, it's a giant risk. I mean, choosing between losing 750 in a poker game and losing 30,000 in a lottery...I'd have to go with poker.
-1. First of all, gambling is an addiction. Lottery is bad enough, but putting poker in a video game that 8 year olds play? No way. The kids might actually get addicted to gambling, and many parents would be upset to find their kids gambling.
Parents will be more concerned because their kids are playing an video game for over twelve hours a today, more than they are playing the lottery.
Srsly MHXL, as soon as these kids lose 50 thousand they'll realize (uh oh, shouldn't do that in real life...)
51% of adults have played the lottery in the past year, but only 46% have gambled in casinos. This proves that replacing the lottery with casino-style games will actually decrease a child's odds of playing games of chance later in their lives. Unless you win.

+1! I would love to see this implemented into ECC. Spending ecodollars on poker and blackjack would be amazing!!!
This would instill a love of casino gambling in the very influenceable hearts of children. They might grow up to actually become gambling addicts.
