    After renegotiating contracts with the greedy vendors, the casino now has better odds, which means a better chance that you, yes you, could win big! Come on down and try your luck at our slot machine vendors! You buy a key, and if it fits the lock, you win! If not, have no fear.... try again because the NEXT one will surely be the lucky key!

    There are 3 vendors, low, medium, and one for our high rollers. The lowest priced vendor is 999 per key, for a 3/30 chance of winning a check for 5k if you find the key to open the corresponding chest. The medium range is 5k for a 2/40 chance of winning a check for 25k. The high range vendor is 10k for a 1/50 chance of winning a check for 100k!

    They can't be lockpicked, can't be magic unlocked, only opened if you buy the correct key. You must be sitting in the chair in front of the vendor you wish to purchase from in order to actually buy a key. If your key doesn't win (don't be a weenie, buy another one!), please place the key in the bag on the table. Good luck!

    The 2nd and 3rd floors are currently blocked off for renovations... we've had to repel several indian attacks and the 3rd floor may or may not be haunted by the vengeful spirit of a dead woman in a tub. The top floor will be home to our very popular gorilla fights! So come on down, spend some money and perhaps win something! What are you waiting for?? No pressure or anything!! And as always, if you have a gambling problem, know when to quit. But remember, that next key you buy could be the right one and you could win! Would be a shame to miss out on that, wouldn't it? Come on down, today! Right now, ya hear?!

    Currently a 3 / 24 chance of winning a 5k check on the low price vendor! More of a chance for you to win before someone else does!

    Shall we make this more interesting?

    Be the first winner, and get double the prize! That's right... if you win 5k you'll receive an extra check for 5k! 25k winner will get an extra 25k check! And yes, if the first winner happens to be 100k, yes, you too will get 100k on top of that! Post a screenshot here of your win, and if you're the first to do so, you'll get double the money! What are you waiting for??

    The first winner never came forward, so the "first winner gets double the money" stipulation still in play! Just be the first to post a screenshot of you opening the winning chest (keep the key for verification purposes!). Try your luck, today! Before it's someone else's lucky day that should have been yours!!

    I've consolidated to one vendor. Keys are 999g each for a chance to win either 5k, 10k, or 15k checks. I threw in an extra 5k check in one of the boxes just for the hell of it! Got that gambling itch today? Go scratch it at the Overlook Casino!

    I would see a lot more potential for this, if it was more like slots, maybe stock the vendors with 30 bags, each with a locked box, and a key. Use a scroll to balance out the check weight for whammies.

    Then you could add multiple chances to hit even money, double money, or a JACKPOT. People might be tempted to re-invest their winnings or keep going. It'd be a little harder to math out a good return rate for you since someone could hit the jackpot early, but very doable.

    Just an idea.

    Initially i planned on doing something similar, only having fruit arranged like the slots, like 3 bananas jackpot, 3 apples break even, etc. I hit a limit on that somehow though and just went with the keys. With keys though, i can put more boxes down. Getting the math right is the hard part. I wont get rich but i dont want to go broke either haha
