Icy Rare Casino- Advice Please

[Sendura]

So, before I start, here's a picture of it:

If you want to check out the room itself (might be good idea, because it looks better zoomed in) here's a link:

Well, I need a bit of advice:
-Any advice on the room, what can I improve, etc.
-How much should I charge for D.E? (I currently get a load of complements on the room, but no one is willing to pay 10c- current price- for dealers entrance).
-How can I get it popular when I'm online and running it as a casino?
-Anything else you think might help me.

Sorry for such a long post :P

Thanks in advance for any answers, I really appreciate it :)

10c is very reasonable. Maybe just do 5c for D.E until you get some dealers - then raise it when you have 4 or so dealers :)

Also, you can get it popular - well this is what I did; when theres events like the valentines & christmas quests you put the quest furni in the room, then people add to favs rate etc. Or I just made an events saying Giveaway. then gave away like 10c worth in 1c coins ;)

I actually really like that- it's a shame it's not christmas because it'd be even better then :P

Only downish thing is the Snow Patches & Petals don't go. Maybe try stack them in an order - because you see 1 big bit or snow then petals around it, which looks weird if you get my drift :)

I agree with Lee completely with 5c to start off with the D.E until you get some dealers, and then gradually increase to 10c etc.

To make it popular I just suggest creating an event for it and putting 'giveaway' or something similar to attract people. Only problem with that is all the noobs will come and I don't think that would be any good - but it will raise the atmosphere in the room I guess.

The room itself is brilliant, and very well thought out. Again as Lee said - it's a shame it's not christmas, otherwise it would of been perfect. But its always round the corner. :P

What really bugs me is that the big christmas tree stacked above the normal ones looks really... odd, but thats only my opinion. Another thing is that the snow patches and petals really dont blend in well together. It's just a bit strange how all of it is christmasy and winterish and then you have a big dollop of petals and bright furni.

Apart from my really fussy thoughts, its fantastic and a great room! +rep :)

I like it very much! Not sure about the petals though, they kinda ruin the winter feel. I'm not sure if you have merged snow with them or not but they look out of place IMO.

Looks really good and it is winter in some parts of the world. Only thing that stands out as odd to me is the christmas furni. I think I would replace that. :)

[Sendura]

First, thanks for the advice :)

The petals and snow look less odd when zoomed in, so I might keep them for now, if only because they add value to the casino.

I did actually have this casino at Christmas time, albeit with a different design and it was popular then.

What might you all suggest to put in place of the Christmas tree? I know it looks out of place, but I've not got any other ideas of what to put there.

I also think that thrones (when I can afford them) tend to increase a person's propensity to purchase d.e, so that'll probably help too.

Hey Sendura, first off. I really like your room. It's very creative, I love the christmas tree and some of the room's furniture.

I think the removal of petals will help. They just don't go with the furniture in the room imo. Also removing the huge christmas tree and replacing it with the smaller christmas trees (like the ones you used at the bottom) but use them to build your tree all the way to the top. :)

As for the d.e start low, then raise it gradually over time if your casino gets more dealers. :)

[Rinsed]

I like it :D However, coupla things that people have already picked up on but not offered any suggestions:

1) Petals - how about adding some presents/poinsettas/hyacinths in that area so that it actually ties in with the christmas theme?

2) The huge christmas tree - the top is a lighter greenthan the rest. This could easily be fixed by using the same christmas trees you've stacked at the bottom, but taking it all the way to the top so just the star is poking through?

3) The two polar sofas by the dice grabber - this area is a little pointless as not many people would want to sit there to watch a stationary area. You could get some more aqua icms and together with blue ones, alternate them. Atm, the two aqua ICMs standing alone look odd (i'm a sucker for symmetry).

4) The purple laser - small thing, but there is absolutely nothing purple in that room so it stands out like a sore thumb. You could either get purple presents to address my first point, or get a blue laser :D

But I stand by my original point, I like the room idea. I hate seeing all these casinos with the same theme, lets have a bit of originality! It just neds a bit of work ;)

My on;y advice is that the rare christmas tree doesn't belong, i think you should finish of the tree with the smaller ones, otherwise its cool

I think 20c is a fair D.e Price to start

[iBlueBox]

Yeah, the petals ruin the winter feeling.


Also, the giant Christmas tree, would of been cooler if you used the snowy trees for the colour range.
