Gambling
Last Updated on Thursday, 22 October 2009 09:30
Depending on your budget, and the amount of risk you will take, there are a number of different options available when gambling. An important aspect of gambling is that it also gains you exp.
WARNING: The gambling system and odds have been changed to a more realistic system. You are now far more likely to lose money when gambling!
Every day you get 75 tokens to gamble with. eg. 1 go at the roulette or at the slots costs 1 token. When you have 0 tokens, you can no longer gamble.
More tokens can be gained by though the Casino job special, or by voting at TOPRPG daily.
Be warned refreshing the page, and sometimes using multiple pages while gambling will cause this message to display- 'No Refreshing the Casino. Click here to go back'. Some games also cause you to restart after a certain time of inactivity.
The highest winner from each game throughout the day gets a 10k bonus at new day!
Every 5 levels you gain another betting option:*
| Level | Betting Amount |
| 1 | $ 5, $ 10, $ 50 |
| 5 | $ 250 |
| 10 | $ 1,000 |
| 15 | $ 2,500 |
| 20 | $ 5,000 |
| 25 | $ 10,000 |
| 30 | $ 25,000 |
| 35 | $ 50,000 |
| 40 | $ 75,000 |
| 45 | $ 100,000 |
| 50 | $ 150,000 |

Poker
Visit this page for two in depth Poker tutorials.
Roulette
Visit this page for a very in depth look at Roulette.
NOTE: The Roulette page has not been updated since the gambling update. The page is no longer correct.
Blackjack
Visit this page for a tutorial on Blackjack.
Slots
In slots if you get 2/3 numbers the same you double your money. If you get all 3 numbers the same, you get 50x your money.
This is a very good option for low levels who don't want to lose much money, as it is relatively safe.
High-Low
In High-Low you also have the oportunity to make a lot of cash, with a low original bet. It is much easier for high levels to make large amounts of money, because of the amount they can bet.
Stated by many to have better odds than Roulette and to make more money, it does however take a long period of time to play ( And is dangerously addictive...). It is simple to play- When the dealer draws Ace - 6 pick higher, and for 8 - King pick lower. 7 is a 50/50 percent chance of winning/ losing so it's up to you.
Keno
Keno is a fun Casino game, but people have not been known to earn large sums from playing it. More of an extra, rather than a truly invaluable addition.
Lottery
$10,000 per ticket, and you can buy as many as you want as long as you have enough casino tokens (costs one per ticket). The winner is drawn on new day Sunday and wins it all!
The winner is announced in the newspaper.
Once thing to note, however, is that while still giving better odds than real 'jackpot', or lotto etc, because no money is sidetracked by the sellers, the odds are not in your favour, as with other casino games.
Craps
Note: The bet amount on craps is always 25x your level, unlike the other games.
Craps doesn't earn you a lot of money. For a low level player the extra 50$ earned per dice attempt (if you win) may make the difference, but fora high level it isn't enough money. The losses are also quite hefty, in view of the winnings. However, by winning off the first roll you can make a nice sum of money.
If you want to make some fast money with no danger of losing any yourself, there is a foolproof strategy. Roll the dice. If you get a 7 or 11 on the first roll click 'Roll Again for a new Point'. If you don't win off the first roll, click 'casino' and then go back to craps. Following these instructions you should never lose any money. Exploitation of bugs is not allowed within TC. Torn City Basic takes no responsibility for the consequences of using this strategy. If you are concerned if this is legal, mail a member of TC staff. (no longer possible)
Remember, you need to have 10 casino tokens left over to play Craps.
Russian Roulette
In order to challenge people to play 'RR' you need to have completed the mission 'Operation Prospect' (level 7 and up), and have gained the S&W Revolver. You can be challenged if you haven't got the revolver and/ or haven't passed the mission, however you must be above level 7 in order to play.
The odds are NOT the same for both the challenger and the challengee... The challengee has a much better chance of winning. Update: Heavily debated. Possible 50/50 chance for both players.
PLEASE NOTE; There have been a number of RR scams. TC has just fixed two known ones, but more may still exist. Please try not to play for items, as people often don't send them. Also try to play people you know you can trust. If you think you have been scammed, issue a player report.

No way this is correct! I have played tons of games, and never notice any significant difference.

Aerozol: That info has been taken from staff comments on the forums. It's legit, assuming helpers know what they're on about

or the person who offered the game?
TCb: The Challenger is the person who offered the game, the challengee is the person who recieved it.

If you are going for 22 consecutive hands, you should win, statistically, one round in 321.
When you do, you should be winning about $12469/lvl . (2.5 x (1.5^21)) ...
That makes your per-token value $33.8xLvl
(Compare to 33.5 for roulette.)

I wrote that the token value for roulette was 33.5 (i.e. 51/38 x 25) . That is in error.
51/38 is your return, but does not account for the cash paid in to achieve it. Hence, the return for roulette is (51-38)/38, which is a humble .34 not 1.34
Thus, hi-low pays roughly 4x more back than roulette.

TCB: Assuming you mean being inactive on TC entirely, without logging in, TC staff sometimes does inactive user purges, in which users who've been inactive for 30 days or more are deleted.

First post, new member. Thanks for the tips TCB!
TCB: Sorry, we've removed it. Some harmless advertising is allowed, for things within TC, but we don't think that an online gambling site is the best place for us to send people who possibly already gamble to much on TC ;)

The jackpot draw does indeed happen, and you do win money if your lucky.
Also, it DOES count towards Networth. I was Rank #11, won the Jackpot, and BOOM I am Rank #12
So, gave ya some info there. ;) I will try and donate more info soon.

One bullet in six numbered barrels, 1 to 6. Yours are barrels 1, 3 or 5. Your opponents are barrels 2, 4 or 6. Provided the chance of the bullet coming up in each barrel is evenly distributed, you each have a 3 in 6 chance of shooting yourself in the foot.

is there a limit to how much you can gamble in blackjack ?? "
If you mean at one time I don't think so, if you mean in a day, no. That's why blackjack is so powerful in bankrupting people.

TCB: Not sure if they time out, but you can definitely report people to staff for not taking the shot.

Turn 1: The probability of getting the bullet is obviously 1/6
Turn 2: The probability of getting the bullet is two sixths X THE PROBABILITY OF THE GAME STILL BEING PLAYED - I.E. THE BULLET WASN'T ALREADY SHOT. This comes to 10/36
Turn 3: The same applies: The probability of getting the bullet turns out to be 60/216
Turn 4: Same again: The probability of getting the bullet is 240/1296
Turn 5: And again: The probability of getting the bullet is 600/7776
Turn 6: The probability of getting the bullet is the same as the probability of having got that far, and is 720/46656
To conclude, if you add up turns 1, 3, and 5, the total probability of the person who goes first getting the bullet comes to 169/324, which is slightly more than half. So the peron who goes first is more likely to lose.

In the end it comes down to how it's been coded: Either TC has already decided which chamber the bullet is at the get go, meaning the probability is 50% for both players (already decided upon the start of the game), or it calculates it on each shot, in which case you're right. I'm not a maths person (god I hate stats ;) so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
