Bootleggers Gambling, Taken to the Next Step JAMONAreturns
In Bootleggers there are multiple ways to make money. You can rob a casino, steal a car and sell it, invest in the stocks or complete missions. Not to mention organzied crimes. But the most satisfiying way to make money is winning big at the casinos. The experience of placing a max bet, on the number 7, in roulette when your desperate for cash is a feeling unlike any other in the enitre game of Bootleggers. Indeed, casinos are the greatest way to get cash, and to get cash fast.
But what if the casinos were expanded to allow for any Bootleggers player to place a bet on anything they wanted. The way I would set it up (if i could set it up) would be to allow for players to place bets down on an open table. For example, Player 1 could place a bet down that the Yankees will beat the Red Sox. It is then up to Player 1 to put down the amount of money he wants to bet with. From that point the bet is open for any other player to take. If another player comes along and wants to take the bet, becuase they think the Red Sox will beat the Yankees, they can match the bet. From that point on, the game would be played and the winner of the bet would recieve his money. The system is very simple but I think it would improove the casinos a great deal if players could bet on real time events. Real time betting will only add a great dynamic to an already great game.
