If that's true, and there are countries that don't allow such things, then make it so any player who is from a country that doesn't allow gambling of virtual video game currency, not allowed in those rooms of the casino. That sounds so ridiculous though, I really don't think it's true that there are countries that have such laws, although it wouldn't surprise me. But the bottom line is, there's already a casino, with slot machines, so why not make the Casino better? I don't think scripting some blackjack and poker would be difficult either. Plus they still have betflipping on PC Era. It's just something I've always thought would be super fun, and a cool alternative for good poker and blackjack players to try and make some money, while at the same time slowing down any inflation of the economy. The Casino on PC Era did a great job of taking money out of the economy with betflipping, since players were betting against eachother, and the NPC was taking a small percentage of each flip. The only problem was that players could lose a fortune within minutes because they could essentially bet as much as they wanted and then when they'd lose, they'd say, "screw this game", cry, then quit. Which PC Era couldn't ever afford to lose players since it's player count was extremely low already, and was also dwindling because the server's staff was just terrible, almost non existent at some points. Actually, there's plenty of reasons PC Era is dead, those factors are just a small percentage.
    PC era doesn't have microtransactions like iEra where you could spend real money on in game currency thats a key difference. Im not sure you know about this but years ago there was this CSGO skin lotto that got shut down by the federal trade comission because they didnt have a license for running a virtual casino. Another issue is the legal age for Gambling. Due to the addictive nature of gambling there is an age restriction for most big countries. Anything below the legal age (18-21 in most countries) would be considered predatory gambling. A law to prevent gambling addiction in most countries were created to prevent this. The majority of the player base is below the age of 18 so it won't bring much interaction to the casino.
