They were winning enough to put the casino out of business. Casinos are business estates, and businesses are about making money.

In that case, your hand is a dead mans hand :D
That would give a nice western feeling to gambling, but I doubt weapons would be allowed in NR casinos...

I can't think of any gangster movies that are about casinos (and have casinos doing shady things) except Casino (1995) when towards the beginning that dude gets his fingers broken.  In the 30s, there really weren't big casinos (as we know them).  Sure there were gambling halls, and card rooms, and things, but the big Las Vegas style casinos didn't pop up until the 1950s.  And the mob ruled casinos didn't last all that long, since they're profitable enough legally.

just make it so when that 10 luck 300% gambling guy comes in, wins a few thousand, and is asked to leave and cant gamble any more for a set time.

EDIT:  OR if you really want to simulate real casinos, make it so the more money the casino loses, the more the games are rigged in their favor.
Casinos do this all the time, whenever they want to make a little more money just rig the slots to pay out less, etc

or, limit how much you can gamble in a day- and make it so the games where you can bet big bucks have less chance of winning, so even with 10 luck 300% gambling, so even if a pro gambler comes in is still only likely to win maybe a few thousand before he is done, make it so you can gamble maybe 10 times, and put cooldown

Why didnt you put this in suggestions ?

hmm you have a lot of good points, maybe someone can capitalize on 1 or 2 of these ideas?
they sound like they would really work, implementable, and balanced.

Badger:
Shit, I like the idea of constantly adjusting odds depending on how much money the casino has. It also encourages addictive behaviour - "I've lost 1000 so far, so I'm way overdue for a payout!"

Also, yeah, I wouldn't object to this being moved to Suggestions. I intended it to just be an overall discussion on Gambling/Casinos but it's definitely developed a much narrower focus.
