Any charts for gambling?
« on: March 24, 2023, 12:26:07 PM »
I mean, there's gotta be one somewhere? I mean, a simple percentage return? I used the MM chart but it didn't seem to be appropriate.

You could turn one out simply enough. 01-45 the player wins. 46-00 the house wins. For PvP you might have to figure the actual odds for the game they are playing. I bet the internet is your friend there.

I'd be tempted to come up with rules that allow you to actually play a gambling game, but how successful your skill check is lets you modify things.  Swap out x many cards, move the ball x spaces on a roulette table, flip the sides of dice in craps, etc.
