    So are you suggesting that we get rid of the lottery too? Because they really are the same thing just in different forms.

    Poker and Blackjack are both forms of gambling and illegal if your under 18/16 in many countries. On this server many of the users are young and so I do not think this is a good idea. EcoCityCraft is meant to be a safe and friendly environment so I do not believe these games should be implemented.

    Then how can you explain the lottery? Again, more people play the lottery in real life than casino games. You're saying that bounties, fighting arenas, lava holes, dragons, guillotines (yes, guillotines), and green monsters that blow up in your face are safer and friendlier than blackjack?

    I am also 11 and i dont think i am just going to storm into a casino when im older... As gambling is an easy way to lose money, you bearly have to think what not to do in it.

    Yes, DFat did bend the truth a bit (lol green monsters). And yes, adding this will make gambling a bit more close/personal then typing /lot buy 1 in chat.

    But, saying it's a form of gambling and illegal if under age is no excuse whatsoever. Lottery = form of gambling. Lottery = illegal of under age.

    Until i hear a better argument against this, I'm still going +1

    Since this is a server mod and tons of people will be using it, I could see that there would lots of lag.
