    I think we've pretty much come to the conclusion that it's a no. The only way I will see something like this happen will either be in terms of a fun event thingee where I may run a 'free casino' where people can just play the casino games and win prizes, a bit like the free grabber that we had in HxHD which was a success imo- however there will be no 'betting' etc. Things like this can easily cause problems, are a pain in the ass to moderate and can quite easily get out of control. There are far better things we can be doing to promote the site on the client, and I just think this isn't a route I would like to go down in all honesty.

    seeming as me n beth own the richest casinos in hotel i'd suggest the owners collect furni from staff and create a room otherwise you want to get sponsor casinos like -ugly- and advertise habbox.com but you'd want a whole new department i'd say for that as it takes alot of effort and time getitng a casino well known and popular due to the amount of casinos, but it's a great idea

    This could work if it was going to be popular. It would have to be something really super-fied to keep up with the casinos in Habbo now otherwise it will just fail.

    If enough people bought rights, and used the booths, and kept it popular it would work. I'd go to it. It would be nice to go to a casino that is active and fun to be in.

    Plus, casinos are trouble. You never know what to expect with people, now unless you want to interrogate every single person that wants to be a dealer in your "trusted casino" you'll end up with no one. It's Habbo, anyone can say anything or act in any particular way, they can gain your trust and simply show their true colours <-- I've seen it happen before.

    Fair enough if you want to open your own Casino, but I don't personally feel it'll do us much good and I think you should keep it completely separated from Habbox.
    It's fine for a fansoite to have a casino. They wouldn't create dice and allow casinos if they didn't want us to bet furni etc!

    Green casino. It's a lovely idea and let's give it a shot. However, scams will happen easily and it might get us (HX staff) banned. we'll have to monitor very closely

    Well, I am afraid that's my opinion Elliott. I just think casinos come with trouble and that it isn't what we need at Habbox.

    I don't believe this idea will be happening anyway.

Yeah it would be great for Habbox in terms of our name being on the hotel and casinos can be quite popular which would be a success if the people within the room also joined up on our websites. But then there is the downside of it just being too risky to do, if people are scammed and they see it being an official room of Habbox then there is the problem of people complaining, demanding a refund/furni back and could give us quite a bad name.

    Yes you can tell them thousands of times that Habbox are not responsible for whatever happens. But that will not stop them from doing it. Anyway, If this was ever to "happen" then I would rather see the Community AGM own the room really as being the Community AGM = Habbo = Nice of them to own offical rooms for Habbox.

    I think this thread has pretty much reached the end of it's shelf life and both Matt and Martin have given it a 'thumbs down'.

    Sick idea (Good) i wouldnt mind like being a Casino Moderator as i could be in there alot, and you could possible have apps on Casino Moderators like who watch the room closely, as i would be in there all the time. Great Idea again!

    And why should I trust you? That comment applies to everyone - why would or should I trust a volunteer staff member (especially one who has made two posts!) As much as it is a nice idea, it really wouldn't work

    Don't think it is happening, but I wouldn't complain if it did
