== Content ==
			I had the idea of them adding a Protostar Casino filled with Slot machines and the sort. It would act as a gold sink for the game. What do you guys think? Would you guys like to see it in the game?

Would love the idea. 
 
FFXIV added the Golden Saucer which is basically a Casino w/ non combat activities, a card game kinda like Hearthstone, Chocobo Racing and other cool things that add value.	
----
			I know you have more going on in your head than just "it's a gold sink with slot machines".  I'm sure that you would get better feedback on this idea if you fleshed out what you were thinking a little more.

I think it would be something that would work well and fit with the lore.
Like Azzurri mentioned, the Golden Saucer that was added to FFXIV is a lot of fun.	
----
			Yeah I don't have in completely Fleshed out. It was just an idea. Nor are they probably put it in but it would be really cool to. They could have some sort of card game maybe 2v2 arenas that you can bet on idk.

			Different countries have rather specific laws about allowing minors to play gambling games, even for fake currency.  That is the main reason most MMO's avoid the issue altogether, they'd rather have younger players than gambling games.

			One can dream. If it was added id spend alot of time there.

You'd be surprised. Its a pretty grey area and fake currency or not, the concept would be under some pretty heavy scrutiny the moment "gambling" or "casino" spring up. And considering you can buy in game currency with real world cash ( CREDD ) to then use in said casino... Surprise!
 
The Korean Game Board alone went after almost a dozen companies a couple years ago for information on payout rates etc on in-game "jackpot" items  ( which incidentally, fits exactly the bill of the golden saucer in FF.)
 
"The Jackpot item system lets players pay a set amount of in-game currency in return for a random item of potentially greater value."

I rather doubt this is the case, as an example I give you Webkinz that whole game is centered around gambling, wheel spins and slot machine type games and it is geared solely at minors. Not to mention the fact that WS already as an abundance of booze themes and a stripper in Thermrock.

Tell that to Nintendo that has a casino in every single game of Pokemon.

Except in Europe, where they don't have the Game Corner in their games (from Platinum on, I think) to comply with PEGI regulations.
 
Like I said, fun international gambling laws.

No thank you. I have enough in-game plat sinks.

			I love the idea, here's a solution for your legal problems. Verify the age of the player associated with the account and then they get a key item called Protostar ID making them attuned to protostar casino. Joking joking, but its a cool idea, unfortunately laws being what they are it probably can never happen =(.

			If we're talking just gold sinks, then instead of a casino, what about an arcade? (if they're willing to make a few small mini-games)
