Hi, We wanted to get the opinions of players to see if anyone thinks casinos and gambling machines should be banned. The reason we would want to ban them is because a lot of times they could be a scam, although we have rules that require odds to be posted and the machines be checked by mods, we can't always be sure they are as reliable as advertised. Under the current rules, it is bannable to scam with gambling machines, but still it can be hard to track, and younger players are deceived many times too. The reason we would want to keep them allowed is because fun games and other redstone contraptions built to be used by other players can sometimes rely on gambling machines, which would be one of the downsides of this. Note: This poll does not directly effect the outcome of casinos being banned. We just want to see the communities opinions. EDIT:We've decided not to ban gambling machines, but have decided on new rules: See new redstone rules at pastebin.com/1aqTMXdFCasino Rules:
Gambling machines must be checked by staff to confirm the winning odds are correct before they're publically usable. Staff must be notified when odds are changed to test again. If we find the odds are changed and incorrect afterward, the casino/claim owners will be permanently banned from owning a gambling machine.
- There must be a sign near the machine where the odds are clearly stated.
- Odds must be shown for each prize.
- Maximum of 1 advertisement per casino per day.

Gambling is legal theft. Heck yeah we should ban them.
If we let people have casinos here, kids that play the server could get addicted to gambling. There's a reason why it's illegal for minors (younger than 18) to gamble for money in the US.

Hey! Gambling machines have been around on ss since 1.8 and banning them I feel would take away from something that still lets me think of this server as the good old one I used to love

As much as I like how creative some people are with redstone, I think gambling in a game generally made for younger kids exposes them to an addictive activity. That mixed with the tenancies of people to want to cheat one another, I think it just leads to problems all around. Sorry guys

If they lose their stuff, their fault. People should be able to make or lose money however they want.

It's theft. Saying it's their fault is not okay. By making machines, you are stealing their things by saying it's a game. This applies to in game and real life.

Gambling machines should be allowed, provided there are disclaimers in the vicinity that state the risk of gambling machines... Additionally, if they are banned, then a major aspect of gameplay will be gone.
I also feel that this is targetted at a certain establishment/group of players, just my opinion.

I think the rule of posted odds is fine. also staff need to check the odds. this topic pops up each time new gambling system it put in play.

If you don't like gambling then you don't have to gamble but you shouldn't take away the learning experience and fun from others

Last season the people who didn't like gambling didn't gamble on the server and didn't mind having gambling aloud while people who did like gambling enjoyed gambling, Gambling is an option if you don't want to gamble you don't have to concern yourself about it.

I also feel that this poll is lopsided because many players don't have forums account. It would be much better if there was a "voting booth" at spawn where you drop a signed book with your vote.
