I Am Shocked To Find Gambling Gif

There are gambling tables in the back of the Phoenix Tavern.

Whether you play on an iPhone or Android, mobile gambling apps offer top graphics, smooth software Shocked To Find Gambling Gif and best of all, you can play everywhere.

Did I know about this before? Hard to say, the game is huge and I’ve been playing a long time. But it is certainly news to me now even if it was also news to me in the past.

Maybe if I wait another six years it will be news to me again in the future.

  • It's from the movie Casablanca, in the scene where Rick's cafe is closed by Captain Renault. Renault has no real grounds for closing the cafe but has been ordered to do so.
  • I Am Shocked, SHOCKED, To Find Gambling Is Going On Here. May 15, 2017 7:45 AM ET. There are usually 3 things I am often told about these stocks by bulls. It's the only game in town (best ever!).

I vaguely remember a gambling NPC that used to hang out on the docks in the harbor. Some kind of guess the numbers game? But that was long ago, before the first of many harbor area remodels. Apparently he is now gone, perhaps just another Taken … but I digress.

The gambling tables in the Phoenix have two available games. The NPC named “Dice”offers a dicing game. The NPC Henda Boulderbreaker offers a vaguely-described roulette game that doesn’t even include payout information.

Dice’s game consists of rolling two pairs of four-sided dice and paying off when the pairs match. A nice-sounding payout too, 20 times the roll. But is it a deal? The rest of this post is going to be very boring* because I get to dive into dice and dicing, and I LOVE dice and dicing. Hang on, here we go.

* Or maybe I should be honest and say “even more boring than usual”

One way to match on 8,
four ways to match on 7

When rolling four four-sided dice there are 256 possible results. Only one of those results is the jackpot in this dice game; if you “roll” double four and Dice does too, all four dice are 4’s, you matched rolls with a value of eight, and you get 160 gold.

But one in 256 doesn’t sound enticing. Other matches are a little bit easier. For instance, matching on seven: four possibilities out of 256. Matching on seven pays 140 gold.

In this table, all possible matching rolls are shown including the chances of each match (out of 256) and the total payout assuming that match is rolled that many times.

In other words, out of 256 rolls you will tend to win 44 times and collect a total of 4400 gold. Sounds good, until you recall that it takes 25 gold to play and 256 rolls will cost you 6400 gold.

That gives the house an edge of 31%, which is so over the top awful that Vegas doesn’t even have a game that bad. Keno, the worst game in the world in terms of house advantage, has only a 25% edge.

Casino gambling:
pretty girls, free drinks, no clock;
the house always wins

While it makes sense that DDO can’t include a game that features a true player advantage (Everyone gets rich! Yay! Macro time!), still it seems like this time sink activity would be more enjoyable and more used if the edge was a bit more friendly.

Wouldn’t hurt if the game was a bit more active too, picking from a dialog box doesn’t really replicate the thrill of high-stakes gambling.

But there it is, wandering a tavern that I have been in a gazillion times only to uncover one more unexpected wrinkle in a massive game full of wrinkles.

Winner winner chicken dinner!
