The Rusty Gambler adds rare abandoned casinos to the wilderness, each with an old machine still waiting inside.

It only takes Rusty Gears.

Most pulls are a loss. Some pay out useful supplies, ores, equipment, or something much harder to come by.

Every machine keeps its own history, so the same Gambler can become more valuable the longer it survives in the world.

  • Rare abandoned casinos in newly explored wilderness
  • Rusty Gears used as the only wager
  • Useful survival loot, rare materials, equipment, and jackpots
  • Each machine tracks its own lifetime wagers
  • Persistent progress survives save/reload
  • Separate machines build their own histories
  • Long-running machines can trigger massive House Jackpots
  • Casinos can become valuable landmarks worth finding, revisiting, or fighting over

Find one. Feed it a gear. See what the house gives back.

Do you think there will be any compatability issues with BetterRuins?

Hi, 

Our server is a bit silly, and has a black market cyper punk city. I would love to add this mod so I could set up some grimey spots down there for gamba, but would like to disable the spawns in the world. Is there a config option to disable spawning these as structures? And any way to add custom coinage server currency to the loot pools and change the loot pool options for rewards? :D

Thanks, 
Smashy

Those options aren’t in there right now, but I’m going to look into it. I’m not totally sure yet what the best way to handle custom currency and loot settings would be, but I like the idea a lot.

It'd be extremely cool if you can make it so that the player who places the machine becomes the "owner" (with the option to use commands or the gui to give other "owners" access). That would then give them access to a simple gui that other's can't normally see. Give it item slots so we can put in any item as the currency accepted by the machine, make sure it works with coinage, and hell, let us tamper with the machines and set how fair they are to win. Maybe add slots so we can add or remove prize types? And ofc, a collection pot so we can pick up whatever people have paid. Idk, but there's a lot you could do with this, excited to see what comes of it!

You cant loot the Casino they are protected similar to traders. You can sleep there and hideout!
