Every month, a group of 3 or more players pitch their idea for a casino and players vote on who gets to host it.

Make sure to submit your Casino application by Tuesday at 14:00 EST (48 hours before the first wipe of the month) in case multiple groups are applying and a vote needs to be held.

Voting will be open for 24 hours on Tuesday at 14:00 EST and on Wednesday the winning casino will be selected.

If no casino applies by the deadline, groups are welcome to apply but cities will get priority in picking land claims.

Note: If a group declines to run a casino during the second wipe of the month, another group may apply.

General Casino Rules

• Casinos cannot join wars in any capacity or be used as a proxy group for a PVP clan.
• Since a casino has war immunity, any casino excessively PVPing will lose casino privileges if they receive complaints.
• During Purge, casino owners cannot raid or rob their own tenants. 
• Casinos can’t post rules that conflict with server rules.
• Casinos can have peacekeeper turrets outside, but they cannot point at portals.
• The staff monitors the casino and will remove casino claims if owners aren’t doing a good job with the casino (no walling off trains, no robbing citizens’ homes, letting the casino decay, etc.).
• If a player previously owned a casino that decayed and/or left people homeless, they will not be allowed to run the casino the following wipe.
• We reserve the right to alter these rules if we find a group attempting to take advantage of casino claims.
• If any other clan (outside of the casino’s own clan) attempts to store clan or individual loot in a shop or building in the casino claim, the admin team reserves the right to remove these bases without warning.
• For the purposes of evictions, casinos follow the same rules as normal clans. 
• Players can only live in one city or in the casino, not both. 
• Members of the casino are allowed to defend the city with force from an attempted robbery.
• If a casino banishes someone, the player is still allowed to use the portal. The banished player needs to leave the casino ASAP and cannot hang out or shop. If they linger, a staff member may tell them they are no longer allowed to use the portal. 
• Do not use a supply signal in the casino claim.
• Raiding/KOS/PVP is not allowed in casino claim land.

Casino Building Rules

• Casinos need to build at least 2 grids away from Launch Site, Military Tunnels, and any cities.
• If a casino touches a small rad town, a wall is required with no gate so people do not have easy access to the rad town.
• To avoid casinos becoming too laggy, casinos can only prebuild a max of 4 empty homes.
• Casinos cannot request CS claims. (Note: on RE2, casinos may have CS claims.)
• New casinos who are unaware of all of the rules may be shown leniency during their first wipe.

Creating a Casino

To enter the running for the Casino, you simply go to the link below and fill out the information. Pictures/videos are helpful and do a better job at convincing players why you should be selected. The Casino cannot be in a city and it should be located 2 grids away from any cities and frontiers since it does get a teleporter.

Preparing for Wipe Day

1. Make sure you are connected to the Discord.

• It is required to have at least one member with the Casino Manager tag in Discord. This gives you access to a coordination channel. Link to channel here.

2. Submit your application.

• Make sure it is submitted no later than 48 hours before the first wipe of the month. 
• If multiple groups apply, voting will take place between Tuesday and Wednesday prior to wipe.
• Once 14:00 EST on the Wednesday before wipe has passed, all clans interested in being a city as well as the casino will be entered into a random draw to determine the order of picking claims. 
• If the casino applies after the Tuesday deadline they will not be able to participate in the claim selection coordination and will not get priority for portals in the case of being too close to a city. In the case of being too close to a city, they can move within the first 48 hours.

Wipe Day Process

• According to the order determined, each group will have the ability to select a claim. 
• If 30 minutes pass and someone hasn’t picked, it skips to the next group on the list.
• Pre-selecting a casino claim is not considered an official in-game claim – this selection process is to help coordinate between cities and the casino and reduce potential overlap, but does not guarantee your group will get the claim. These are first come, first serve so whoever claims first in the land claims feed channel gets priority. Your group will need to be proactive with logging into the server after wipe to make an official claim.
• If casinos apply after the deadline, they will be placed at the bottom of the picking order. 
• Since casinos are limited to 10 residents, they only have to be 2 grids away from cities. Casinos can bypass the 48-hour no-moving claims rule IF they lose their claim to someone in their 2-grid radius.
• If the casino has their intended claim taken and are unable to find another suitable claim may be eligible for an admin spawned island to build on.
• Sniping someone else’s claim, ignoring the order, or not being courteous to the cities in the #city-coordination channel may result in being removed from the channel and possible suspension from casino status.
• Groups who are involved in #city-coordination on Discord will take priority over those who do not if a city and casino are too close to both be eligible for portals.

Games Added by Admins

If you are selected to host the casino, admins will create casino games where you tell us to place them. You simply have to reach out to the team when you are ready. The plugin for each game eats the scrap involved and you do not get a cut.

For new casinos, it is suggested to plan for some combination of 4-6 slot machines, 1 spinning wheel, 1-3 poker tables, and 1-3 blackjack tables.

Slot Machines

The slot machine is the same one available for use at Bandit Camp. It can be easily placed in narrower locations as it does not take up a lot of space. It does not require a chair or anything additional to use.

Spinning Wheel

We are able to spawn the spinning wheel from the bandit camp. It can be placed on the floor or on the wall. It requires a 2×2 grid to be placed in. Players will need to sit in chairs and interact with the betting terminal in front of them to use the wheel. If you would like specific chairs, please be prepared to supply them. The wheel will not work until the server has restarted.

Card Tables

We are able to add the card table to allow you to play poker. You do not need to supply the table and chairs. Although the six chair table is standard, we also have four, three, and two chair tables that can be placed.

Blackjack Machine

We are also able to spawn in the blackjack machine. This allows up to three players to play at a time. No additional furniture is needed to play.

Casino may also have a recycler added if they wish.

Portal

If selected, the Casino is eligible for a teleporter. Simply pick a location for new arrivals to teleport in and also a place for the teleporter that goes to the portal room. Make sure the teleporter out is clearly marked so people can find it when they are leaving the casino.

That’s it! Good luck in entering the contest to get picked to host the Casino!
