Starting tomorrow, we will start to convert casinos over to player owned casinos.  Slots, Roulette, Blackjack, Craps, and 2 poker tables (With or without bots, its up to you). You may only own a casino in your home city.  You only earn off of activity in casinos in your home city.

The cost is $100,000,000 to purchase the casinos.  As a casino owner, you handle all losses and wins via your vault. If at any time a casino goes bankrupt, its converted over to an admin owned casino, so it is of the utmost importance to keep enough in the vault to cover all possible losses under all possible scenarios.  Your casino also operates like a DFP, you need to pay your security a trivial amount on a regular basis, or they walk out and the next win by a player will bankrupt you, thus losing the Casino.

Once a day, you receive an XP bonus for being a Casino owner.  Shortly thereafter you can designate a "manager" to run the casino, who can handle the bribes for you, have access to the vault, and will receive an XP bonus as well.

To purchase your casino, send 100,000,000 to Squishy.  There is a limit of only one casino per city.  The first to pay will be the new owner, anyone who pays 2nd will receive a refund. This may take a a few days to roll out, so if you happen to die before its online, your next character will receive a refund.

With your payment, provide the name of your Casino, and if it is known at the time, the name of your Manager (Optional).

(For the record, typing long posts on a phone is a MFer)

" You only earn off of activity in casinos in your home city. "

With the exception of Poker.  You earn the rake off of anyone who plays at those tables, regardless of where they are located.

If you die, the casino gets closed down.  Treat this like a DFP (Gotta bribe it or you lose it, if you move to another city you lose it, if you die, it closes)

@HunterZolomon,

The 100 mill price tag was based in my mind on risk versus reward.  If you can instantly get back 50 mill from selling like a dfp, then that changes the risk aspect and we need to raise the price.  For simplicity's sake my gut says no, but I'm open minded.

After what requirements are met can you designate a manager?

Can a manager be changed at will? Can a manager be anyone in your city? District? Crew?

A manager just has to be a crewed person with your same home city.  Any crew.  Any rank.  He is the "Face" of the casino, and is not anonymous.

The manager can be changed at will, however, the XP the manager gains only works if he has been in the position for 24+ hours.  Swapping them out voids the XP gain for that day. (But will resume on the next full day)

Squishy - Please confirm/deny - are the owners of the Casinos going to be public, or Anon???

The owners will be anonymous, the manager is not.

Would it help if we switched the names around?  The new owner was formerly known as the old manager, and the new Financial Backer is formerly known as the old owner.

In the real world, the owner in many states is public information, those behind the scenes are not.  But those with enough pull could obtain the info.
