DDO casino?

Not gonna happen.

On-line gambling, even with pretend money, is illegal in many parts of the world.

Add in that it would enable plat sellers, at least on a server basis, to infest DDO even more than they can now makes it even less likely.

Because coin sellers tend to look for games like this, since gambling players actually spend $ on them.

If only there could be a black-jack styled game that offers more than just platinum.

Edit: How is "gambling" with pretend money illegal in most parts of the world?

Disney actually does this in their Pirates of the Caribbean MMORPG, they have poker and blackjack in their games that can played against other players. If they can get away with it, I doubt Turbine would get in trouble for it.

Also, plat selling isn't that serious a problem in DDO anymore, most of the platsellers went elsewhere, and I don't see gaming with a commodity that isn't even that valuable in-game world as something that would bring them back.

If they do expand gambling in DDO, it should be thematic to the setting though, maybe that Three Dragon Ante game.

But gambling is one thing that may cause plat sellers again.

The policy of any of the payment processors have to be rechecked because regardless of how it is done you still a) charge money from players and b) provide gambling inside the game.

Paypal only accepts gambling from EU countries i believe, but in any case it may lead to reclassification.

Can be doable yes, but isn't trivial.
