Casinos

[Pass]

I don't even notice casinos aren't around anymore

they weren't a huge part of habbo at all

they undoubtedly were to a lot of people, even if they weren't your thing. they weren't mine either but there's no denying they're the only reason a lot of people played.

has loss of casinos had any profound effect on the black market yet or are gold bars still stable? I know that supers are a little more volatile.

They wanted to release Habbo for iPad, and so it made sense for them to take this action - meaning the app has a larger audience on iTunes.

Why would the release of Habbo for iPad have an effect on casinos?

I would LOVE it if they did that

The iPad app is out in CA so far if you didn't know?

because on app store they can market it to all ages rather than just ages that are allowed to gamble globally

What @Kyle; said . It's rated 12+ on the app store - if gambling was still allowed and they had to include that in the ratings then it could push it up to 17+ if not higher (not sure exactly).

Oh I see! Well most app stores accounts are in parents names anyway and they'd let them have it, but oh well cool

So I'm not able to play it? *I live in the UK*

Not yet much to my disappointment too . It's like the beta version for CA and is being rolled out to the rest of the world soon, with a bit of luck

A lot of people said this would be a huge mistake by Sulake, that isn't proving the case so far. Numbers are stable, no dramatic decrease, like there was with the c4 and mute fiasco.

The gambling thing isn't true either. Gambling has not been permitted by law for under 18s since Habbo was created. It isn't a legal matter. Powertoo even posted in her group forum that gambling is allowed. What is not allowed is gambling on randomized furni. You can still gamble on your skill, i.e. you can pay to enter a game of falling furni (paying to have a chance of winning is gambling) yet because it is skill (how quick you can click etc) it is allowed. Sulake aren't stupid; they know what happens in casinos, it was a good decision for current players and for what I imagine their business plan to be.

The only difference has been an increase in trading supers/ltds (partly because of the MP update) - which is actually a positive development imo. Glad they're gone.

I can play it on Holiday if it comes out soon
