Pasha's Casino

The Pasha's Casino is a grand building in the very center of Zaur Gate in Karadun. Alabaster walls covered in sparkling seashells and gold-painted scarabs crawling across its surface set it distinctively apart from its neighbors. Pasha's is among the most famous and popular gambling halls in the Kaspari Empire. Its proprietor, Umar Qadiri, obsessively adds new games to the casino as fast as he can discover them. Card games, dice games, roulette tables, dart boards, and other games fill the Main Hall. More exotic and disreputable games are run upstairs in the Upper Hall. One such game is the Stump, which involves reaching one’s hand blindly into a small hollow log full of venomous spiders to draw a specific object out without getting stung. Another, called Knick Tickle, is a game of marksmanship between two knife throwers; the object is to tag an opponent without drawing blood (slicing a piece of clothing, nicking a lock of hair, and so on).
The infamous basement is home to the most bloody and violent games in all of the gambling-obsessed Kaspari Empire. Qadiri adds new games to this area of the casino every month. The most popular games include Jackal Box, in which a group of unarmed competitors attempt to be the first to cross a long sandy pit without being attacked by a pack of hungry jackals at the center; and Zombie Mash, a simple brawl-until-they-fall game in which competitors are pit against a team of zombies.
Visitors to Pasha's may find it surprising that there are no pit fights or other forms of duels held in the basement. This is because the Sultan has given the Guild of Gladiators exclusive rights to such events, thus making it illegal for anyone else to sponsor them without the guild's consent.
