Since the beginning of mankind, every man and woman has been guilty of it. People couldn’t live with it, nor could they live without it. This is not different in the mafia-world. The Mafia can’t live with, nor without it. And you certainly are not a true mafia-member if you haven’t done it once in your life. Yes, I am talking about... gambling. In this article, I will discuss every casino in matter of interests with the players, winnings and chances of winning.
Let me start with the most popular casino : The Slots.
The idea is simple : get 3 of the same, and win your bet multiplied by a predetermined number. It’s not about tactics. It’s mainly about luck. Get 3 cherries in a row, or 3 bars, 3 seven’s, .. there is nothing you can do about the fact that you didn’t win jackpot because the top of the ‘Seven’ isn’t visible, or the cherrie is only halfly revealed.
So why is Slots so popular, when it’s mainly about luck?
The answer is obvious :There is a lot of money to win, in a short amount of time. Because a lot of players try their luck on the Slots, owners set the maximum bet to ‘unlimited’, which makes it dangerous for gambler AND owner. They both can lose all their money in just 1 click. Some owners have a 17 million profit, while some owners lose 3 million in just seconds. That is the reason why the ownership of a Slot-casino changes so fast.
When looking at the forums, people sell slots for around 600 points.
Second casino to discuss : the Keno.
Idea : Choose 10 numbers. When your numbers match a certain amount of the numbers chosen by the casino, you win your bet multiplied by a predetermined number.Although the idea is simple, this game scores high in the popularity-chart. The chances of winning money here depend a lot on which state you are currently gambling in, and when you are gambling. Keno owners can set up a maximum bet of 2.5k and still get a profit of 5 mil after 3 hours. On the other side, owners can have bad luck by losing all their money on hand with just that same maximum bet. The chances of getting 8 or 9 numbers correct are small, but the payout is wonderful. That is why people gamble these casinos so much. The thought of ‘This time I’ll get 9 numbers right with my numbers’ makes people do crazy things sometimes.
When looking at the forums, people tend to sell/buy this casino for an average of 300 points.
Third casino that I want to enlighten, is the Blackjack.
The idea is genius : get as close to 21 as you can. When the dealer is closer than you, you lose. When you win, you get the double of your bet, unless you hit 21 with your first 2 cards. Then the payout is x2.5 your bet.
Although the payout of this casino is not so great ( for both holder and gambler), this casino is the 3rd most popular casino here on Bootleggers. Most of the owners set up a low maximum bet, because this casino is very easy to bust. In contrast with all the other casino’s, you get the feeling that you can really control what you are doing when gambling a BJ. You can hit cards until you think that you are close enough to 21. That’s the power of this game : the control of the gambler. This casino is (when not yet picked up) cheaper to buy, and get’s sold for a lot less then, let’s say, a Slot casino. Blackjack’s get sold for 15-30 points. This casino is extremely popular with the low-cash players.
The fourth most played casino is the Race Track.
Idea is simple : bet on the right horse, and win the amount of your bet, multiplied by the number your color stands for.
Although this principle is very easy, people tend to lose a lot of money on this casino. Betting green or purple is very tempting, you get your bet x10/11, while yellow only gives double of your betted amount. Why would anyone ever bet on the yellow horse, when the green one gives you more money? This is a common thought, but when you’ve hitted green 10 times and still didn’t win, it get’s tempting to bet on the black horse who won 3 of those 10 times. And when you finally decide to go black, the green horse decides to run faster, and wins 2 times in a row. Very frustrating. Easy for an owner to hold the casino with a low maximum bet. maximum they can lose is 11 times their max bet.And very much about luck. People tend to sell this casino for around 200 points.
The fifth most played casino is, you’ll never guess, the Roulette.
Idea is quite inventive, and often complicated.
Choose the right number. Or the right color. Or the right number and a different color. And meanwhile, put some money on a row, and on another column. Or why not bet on all the even numbers? Or the first 12? Or, let’s do something crazy, put all your money on 0.
This casino has a lot of different options to bet on. So much, that people start making tactics. ‘When I bet 5k on black numbers, and 4k on the first 12, 6k on the 2nd row... Than I might still make profit, if the winning number is not 19 or 27!’
And the winning number is 27. Damn, ok different tactic.. Woops, out of chips!
Oh, didn’t I mention this? Yeah, to gamble on this casino, you’ll first have to buy chips with the cashier. Maybe this is the thing that’s keeping players away from gambling on a roulette. The fact that they first have to buy chips,then gamble, then win chips, then change their chips back to money. With a cash –out fee of 5%. Yeah, then you finally get to win some money on the Roulette, and you have to give it away to the cashier.
A lot of possibilities, but not popular at all. Maybe because of the cashier, maybe because of something else. Who knows. People tend to sell this casino for around 150 points.
The final casino, very short, is the War-casino.
Idea : highest card wins. This casino is not holdable for players. Chances of winning are 50/50. I didn’t get a lot of information about this casino from the Help desk, so I cannot give you more information about this. Apologies.
This article was only possible because of the input of a lot of players. I want to thank them all very much for answering my questions on a building and honestly informative way. There are too many players that helped me with this, so I will not name everyone individually. Also I am afraid of forgetting someone. So, Thank you everyone for helping me with information concerning this article.
