I don't really know what to think about it, but whatever comes to my mind, I would probably do such weekly items. So when, for example, the home team is clearly more likely to be the winner and people have bet more on them, the away team's winning coefficient increases.

the casino feels redundant and they should just make it easier to earn money with minimal writing or user input, similar to how the casino is right now

Expanding casino bets could add variety and engagement. Weekly bets on real-world events (sports, elections, weather, or stock market trends) could be exciting. Non-simulation-related bets, such as community challenges or in-game achievements, could also add diversity. However, balancing fairness and avoiding excessive randomness is crucial. Removing the casino altogether would depend on whether it negatively impacts gameplay or economy.

I would love to see Texas Hold' Em. That is the first thing I think of when I think of a casino and gambling, but I confess it would probably be difficult to implement. Maybe something silly like over/under will we have more people hit six Chirps this week than last? Not enough of a gambler to really help sorry.

enlightened centrist is against all forms of betting. this includes lottery tickets, scratchers, casinos, sportsbetting. this is because betting is a sin. and it makes you do bad things

You should be able to bet on SMJHL teams in the same way you can bet on SHL teams. It would be cool to allow over/under bets on specific player stat totals as well. Maybe also weekly prop bets.

i'm not a huge casino user but i think its perfectly fine to have it. one relatively simple thing to expand it to would be to bet on hattrick outcomes.

I'd be curious to see if it were plausible for the Casino to offer the occasional silly prop bet, but I don't think it's something the game engine would allow us to do in-game and any props based on out-of-game stuff or player's own posting habits would be so easy to game to make it fundamentally unusable.

It would be cool there was some weekly bets that you could make on each game. would make me more interested watching those live sims and be excited to see if i win my bets.

And put Grum out of a job? That’s unconscionable. I think adding some monetary rewards for the weekly Hat Tricks and Primetimes would be a nice way to increase earnings. Maybe some parlay options.

I'm not sure how you would incorporate this into the casino but making bets on players reaching milestones would be pretty cool - maybe revise the list each season and check to see who's close to hitting one.

I don’t know that, in all my years of SHL existence, I’ve ever placed a bet in the SHL casino. Therefore I’m not very knowledgeable on this subject. Maybe we can create an over/under on when I will make that first bet?

I think a daily (or maybe weekly) fantasy would be cool and relatively easy to track as well. Everyone gets a certain number of total TPE to spend building a 3F-2D-1G lineup, then calculate everyone's weekly fantasy total for some prize pool.

I think we should have a weekly sports bet on different sports. These would be based on in real life events but would be cool to gamble using our shl money instead of actual money
