We should have some weekly bets while doing PrimeTime.
Get some tpe out of it and some money if you predict the right winner.
Can be like 100K per right prediction to not give too much money.

I think the casino team should put in player props to make it truly wild and wooly. Let us bet on whether or not we will score 30 or 50 goals or points in the season or something.

Money is already a concern for me so I do not mess with the Casino, I do not have the faintest clue what could be added, but it should not be removed though.

Honestly, I never bet because I don't understand the sports betting world at all. SO my suggestion is to make bets way easier and straight forward, none of this "prop" stuff

I do not think you really need any more reasons to bet. Gambling addiction is a serious issue, so let us not make this league a proving grounds for it.

Betting for each game would be really cool, but that would be a lot of work so I understand it's not viable. A more simple option would be to include the awards predictions in the casino. The odds would be wild too with some huge payouts (if you can hit).

i don't want to take it away from people who enjoy it. i'm also sick of gambling in sports IRL. so i guess i'd say leave it at is and definitely do not expand it. i don't want to log in and be reminded of every day's parlay or whatever, i have to deal with that enough following the NHL

I think weekly bets could be pretty fun but probably a lot of work for whoever is running the casino. I actually have never participated in the casino so I don't have much an opinion, but at least other people enjoy it!

To say I was a betting man would be an understatement. I think there are lot of other areas we could expand the casino.

1. Award winners (Scoring, Goals, PIM) the payout would have to be larger than the over under in typical casino, as there are so many players that could win these titles.

2. A weekly guess the score on a chosen game. Payout would be 4 or 5 to 1 on getting it right.

3. A start of the season and end of tje playoffs 50/50, just imagine winning the raffle on this. Cost 100k but the payout could be ridiculous.

I know there are more but this is a great start.

If I could do one thing to improve my happiness, it would be erasing the Casino from this and every other league I frequent. Sports betting is gross, abusive, and dangerous. It has actively made watching and following sports WORSE, and I truly despise this trend.

Let me FUCKING just watch my hockey game, get your parlays and up to the minute prop bets off my fucking TV!

I mean casino has its ups and downs, (mostly down when I lose), but something that might have to be improved on is the variety, as it gets a little bit repetitive. Also like adding more gambling sounds fun right? All those users with 100 mill + could finally spend their money on something other than training and cards.

Casino is great as it is. Once per season is plenty of opportunity to get my hopes up without being destroyed by reality on a weekly basis. But seriously, one area for improvement: make the Cup winner payouts bigger; looks like the house is making a lot of money on those bets.

While I have never used the Casino (to my recollection), it does open thee door for some tampering.  However I do think it would be fun to gamble on a game or two per week that my player doesn't play in.

I think the Casino is good and definitely do not get rid of it. I think we could use like a weekly casino bet. or a Daily one. Not sure if it would work but could do like a Daily/ Weekly Fantasy Bet where users pick whoever they want and put in money. Whoevers team puts up most fantasy points wins the pot.

We should remove the casino because it certainly promotes gambling and I am kind of sick of losing all my money trying to make big bets pay off
