Bump.

I really like this idea... maybe even a simple game of war could also work... or a horse race and people could be bookies or something....

The ideas aren't the same, they're similar I'll give you, but not the same. This idea is basically a lower-level version of casinos, but only in spirit. It wouldn't actually be connected to casinos, because I picture them as two vastly different beasts. A casino is a much larger venture, something with glitz and glamour, while these are the alleyway three card monte games where you just toss the money down on the cardboard box and see whats up.

There are so many games that could be run here, but the idea is that they're games that don't cost a lot to run, or setup, and that don't make but MAYBE a couple hundred bucks per play. It's not to make you rich, but to give you a way of utilizing your money making skills. Because that's the type of game player I am, I play to make money in inventive ways, and I'm finding that there's very little for my type of player here, which is why I don't ever stick around for more than a couple days.

I don't train my gun. I find jail breaking boring. There are very few ways for me to make money, so I find it infinitely difficult to purchase a casino, due to the price. I'm looking for ways of increasing my ability to generate wealth, while at the same time not increasing the amount of money that is streaming into the game. It gives the allusion that money is entering, but it's actually keeping only the same amount of money in the game at any given time.

A lovely idea. 

I think this a good idea.casino's are prohibitivly expensive both to run, and to a lesser extant, to play at.
