Need Improvements

[DieselShaq]

Okay, I admit it, I'm fussy with my casinos. I changed designs every three days or something. As of now, I'm quite satisfied with the current version, but there's just something that can be improved, just can't put my finger on it. So yeah, I'd like some advice from the critiques around here. Here's the room:

It seems too plain, try using a different stacking method.
Such as
Item 1 and Pine > Item 2 and Pine > Item 1 and Pine

[DieselShaq]

So for example:

Red Dragon on Pine - Jade Dragon on Pine - Red Dragon on Pine?

Should I keep the Lodge Corners underneath those?

[Scarcely]

The RedDragons and the Pines ontop of the Lodge does look good... But I dont like the Dices ontop of the Lodge Corners and try using some Petals if u can

Overall a good room 6/10

[DieselShaq]

The reason I didn't use Petals is that I don't like having anything on top of them apart from Cabbages. So when it comes to the parts in front of the Dicemaster booths, I don't like using them. But if I use Petals in one part and Mats in another, it'll look very strange.

EDIT: And yeah, I know that the Pines in the corner are somewhat random. I had a design before this which had the Holodices where the Dicemasters are right now and the Dicemasters where the Holodices are, but I changed it because the Holodice positions were somewhat irregular.

You need petals. Mats look "noobish". Also, try to stick to holos or dm's, don't mix. 5 booths is too much, I find you get more bets with less booths. And I agree with the stacking comments.

[DieselShaq]

Maybe you'd like to advise me on how many booths I should use and what other furni I should stack with?

EDIT: This is a picture of a few designs ago:

I don't have that many Thrones anymore, so Thrones will just be used for dealers.

Right now, I can probably replace the BBs on DJs with Dragons on Lodge Corners. What do you think of that design? Or should I have two booths on one side and one on the other? That may be better in terms of using Petal Patches. Also, since you're saying either stick to Dicemasters or Holodices, could you give me a suggestion? I'm also swinging between Pillows and Majestics.

Well, where do I start.

Lodge corners - get ride of them. So many casinos have lodge corners and they look awful and they're boring.

You seem to have quite a lot of red and black so I'd stick to this theme. Get rid of the white mats and replace them with either red mats or more black mats.

Majestics - You have a few options here you can stack them ontop of pines under the dragons where the lodge corners are or you can leave them where they are. If you leave them where they are I would recommend flat stacking mats under them to keep with the floor theme. You might want to consider swapping them with red pillows as majestics are quite common in casinos.

Dice - Keep all the dice the same type. If you're going with the red and black theme then I would have all holodices. At the back you put dice ontop of you're stack and imo it looks pretty bad - they're too high up from the other dice. You can keep them inside a stack, I wouldn't put them more than 2 z-shelves higher than the other dice though.

The random clump of pines between the sets of booths looks stupid - I would replace it with another booth.

Wallpaper - Green dosen't go. I would replace it. Making it black with a moodlight might look alright.

I hope that helps. Now its just up to you to decide what to replace the lodge corners with (if you take my advice).

[DieselShaq]

Yay, somebody who actually gave me thorough advice.


Lodge corners - get ride of them. So many casinos have lodge corners and they look awful and they're boring.
I'm not sure what I could use instead of Lodge Corners. Perhaps just Pines? But I may use Pines to stack other stuff for decoration too...


Majestics - You have a few options here you can stack them ontop of pines under the dragons where the lodge corners are or you can leave them where they are. If you leave them where they are I would recommend flat stacking mats under them to keep with the floor theme. You might want to consider swapping them with red pillows as majestics are quite common in casinos.
So what you mean is, from top to bottom, Dragon - Majestic/Pillow - Pine? I'm not sure what you mean with the flat stacking Mats under the Majestics/Pillows. I've thought about Pillows, but aren't they very common as well?


Dice - Keep all the dice the same type. If you're going with the red and black theme then I would have all holodices. At the back you put dice ontop of you're stack and imo it looks pretty bad - they're too high up from the other dice. You can keep them inside a stack, I wouldn't put them more than 2 z-shelves higher than the other dice though.
I only used different ones because I was thinking of having Dicemaster booths for people who paid for rights and Holodice booths for renters. If I use Pines instead of Lodge Corners, it wouldn't look right to have a Holodice on a Pine. Pines with DMs look better than Pines with Holodice, but then there's the theme problem, so I'm not too sure.


The random clump of pines between the sets of booths looks stupid - I would replace it with another booth.
I just used that to take up space. I couldn't really fit another booth in there because of the difficult accessibility, and I don't want to stack a chair with a Dice.


Wallpaper - Green dosen't go. I would replace it. Making it black with a moodlight might look alright.
As a matter of fact, the green was obtained from a Mood Light. I didn't buy any Wallpaper or flooring for this room, but will if I have to.

In your opinion, how many booths should I have and how should they be laid out? If I should have four, then I don't really have much of a choice. But if I should have three, should it be three along the bottom or two in the left and one in the right?

[BaybeeElin]

yeah i was going to say, change background, and change mats

[DieselShaq]

Guys, I want advice on improvements, not just ideas. If I shouldn't use one thing, tell me what I should use. If such and such doesn't fit in, tell me what does. It's no use for you to come in saying "Oh don't use this" 'cause you're leaving me there thinking what I need to use when I want to hear from you guys. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting here.

Sell a couple thrones for HCs, get furni that MATCHES. Don't use moodlights ever, try to do something original, even if it's just an original stacking routine. :P

[RareFish]

How about you try a hollywall?
I hate seing that same horrible green colour of the floor ... on the walls!

The Overall room looks great though! :)

[DieselShaq]

Hm... The design of the room hasn't changed, but the colour has. It's pretty flexible anyway, I'm in the middle of a new design, which will take me quite some time to complete because of my current lack of resources.

I'm not sure I want any more HCs for now, I already have around 450... What would you suggest for "furnis that match"? My current plan is to use Red Dragon Lamps and Serpents of Doom with Majestic Chairs for chillers and betters. As for dealers, I'm going ahead with Dicemasters because they go better with Pines than Holodices do.

[Holofoil]

how good it would look with petals would make up for the nuisance

[DieselShaq]

Sigh, people don't read through the thread, do they?
