I can't even afford to buy what I need, let alone spend extra on a platinum sink. Even if I could, I don't know where it is at.

Did it a few times when it first came out. Won jack. Would do it now and then running through SH on my way to Nexus or other Luclin zones, but had not even thought about it in a year or so.

Overall about 2k ish.

Least if I knew the odds I would feel better knowing I have x chance in y in winning. A Golden ticket is probably 1:10,000 and at 100pp a pop, I prob would not go more than a few more tries here and there.

If anything, putting the money back into the game works :)

Haven't been to it before, but might be something to keep me occupied while I'm LFG, well...besides drinking :/

Roughly 300K all told.

3xBeer Goggles (Paladin, Wizard, Necro)
2xGolden Ticket (DE Masks, Wizard and Necro)
4x Stones of Resistance (all on wizard)
Ton and a half of the insta-heal Words
More Deluxe Tailoring Kits than you can shake a dead gnome at.
2xSnakefingers (Wizard and Necro)
And a few other nice toys.

First of all, I once spent over an hour wandering around Shadow Haven without being able to find the stupid place. There is no outward indication anywhere that there is a casino. I had to look up the location on the internet before I could even go.

Second, it's not even any fun! You turn in your token, and you get a message about whether you "hit the numbers" or whatever. There is no suspense, there are no graphics, you don't know what your hand is, nothing. At least with the loser PCs who have casinos you get to /ran and see what number you roll. If you want me to flush my plat away, give me some idea of what I am doing while I lose.

Therin Asakith deals you a hand of King's Court. 'A knave and two threes. You just hit the numbers. Here is your small prize.'

Therin Asakith deals you a hand of King's Court. 'All you got is a lousy MonkeyDude. I am sorry friend, but it looks like Lady Luck is not on your side today.'

Therin Asakith deals you a hand of King's Court. 'A pair of Abdis and a Viklas! You win the Grand Prize! Take this Golden Ticket over to the Master Dealer! Your Grand Prize awaits!'


Now there is a game that I might be able to play for three or four minutes before becoming bored out of my skull!

It would seem like they could give you a poker or slot game with graphics. Wouldn't seem hard to do, they have gems in the game, and they could use spell icons for it even.

I haven't been since it first came out. So I have 2 questions...

Where is the Casino?

and...

Can you still win the DE mask and other old world ubber prizes?

#43 Apr 10 2006 at 10:36 AM Rating: Decent
yes, you can win the DE mask.



gold ticket prices are ;

fungus covered great staff,
glowing black drum / glowing white drum,
guise of the deceiver,
holgresh elder beads,
ribicite breastplate,
scimitar of the mistwalker,
ton po's bo stick of undestanding,
vibrating gauntles of infuse/ vibrating hammer of infuse

to find it ; enter SH from bazaar -up the stairs to the right (not direction of paludal), first door on your left. down stairs.enjoy )

Got 2 tickets in the casino without winning guise and after passing the 700k mark I got tired of handing tokens to an npc for hours on endless hours so I bought a ticket in bazaar for 450k and finally won the mask.

I'd love to get a fast dyno, and the fungus staff, but I'm not going to sink 500k into the possibility of it.
#46 Apr 10 2006 at 2:46 PM Rating: Default
Over 500k and under 1,000,000.
For which I recieved the cherished BEER GOGGLES!!!

Yay for me. No beads though.

Like Clinin Rayvenger said, always something new to learn in this game cause I had no idea there was a casino!, and been playing for 6.8yrs now LOL







Its all fun and games til someone gets knocked down, knocked up, or knocked the F@ck out!

I've spent approximately 100k all because I wanted Snakefingers as a pulling tool for my monk. In the middle of that 100k, I won 3 gold tickets in the span of 2k worth of tokens and I've been living off the sale of those tickets in the bazaar ever since :)

For those that don't know about the casino, it is located in Shadowhaven. If you are lucky enough to get a golden ticket, you can avoid winning lesser prizes (Rubicite bp, ton po, scimitar, etc) by having them in your inventory at the time of handing in the ticket. All the items have a lore tag, so if the casino tries to award you with an item already in your inventory, you just get to spin the wheel again.

well was on a corpse run with to PC once and waiting on cleric, so decided to try it and see what it was like. bought one token. played for an hour or two and got a gold ticket :) Lady luck was on my side that day. Have been in there a few times since then so have spent maybe 5-6k in there.
#51 Apr 11 2006 at 7:49 AM Rating: Decent
There really isn't anything worth winning in there. I would rather hand my extra plat off to a begging spammmer in the PoK. Atleast we can all have so peace and quiet...
