Please no, there is enough gambling in this game. This isn’t roulette wars.

No no and more no. Gambling doesn’t belong in game. I can tolerate Moa racing and RNG boxes, they’re annoying but not obtrusive. In game casino’s are another matter. They don’t belong in a fantasy world and I’m quite certain that they can’t add them in for legal reason as well.
I seriously hope you were joking.
I think Lion’s Arch should be renamed Lion’s Vegas when they do. And you know what, they MIGHT actually do add a casino! lol
I understand games producers need to eat like everyone else. I have no problem if Anet believe that the only way they can generate income from this game is through a form of gambling like those kitten RNG Box. However, doing something poorly doesn’t make it right. Clicking on 1,000s of boxes to get candy doesn’t make it great game play.
If they need revenue from gambling they should do it right.
As to above comments regarding that gambling has no place in the fantasy world, I think you need to check out on many great (game of the year) fantasy RPGs such as the Fallout series, Final Fantasy 6, 7, 8, &10, SW: Knight of the Old Republic, and many more. They all have cards games or casino as mini-games. Even GW1 has gamble during the dragon events. There is even a “Lucky” and “Unflavored” title in GW1. Currently in GW2 there is the mao racing, and in Diessa Plateau u can gamble 50s on how far the cow will land. Perhaps the only difference is the the producers of those games don’t directly profit from the players gambling and no real money where used unlike the RNG Boxes.
As to “roulette wars”, what will you called the Mystic Forge? The only things missing are the wheel and a hostess to spine the wheel.

I agree with you cloud. They missed a perfect opportunity to add a casino in southsun on the resort. Very obvious loss there considering southsun would have stayed steadily popular. Minigames of the gambling nature always attract players if done right with a good polish and ui.
This would actually be a pretty cool minigame and gold sink.
Let us gamble ingame gold to play poker!
I wouldn’t mind seeing games that have player pots to win.
Finish the other minigames first. The minipet battles in LA. The shooting gallery in Divinity’s Reach, etc. Stuff that maybe requires a modicum of skill on our part and not just RNG.
Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm the rest of his life.

Yeah, they did make an awesome DE system, smooth combat, an awesome open world world then started dumping instances, horrible “story” and minigames into the game. Sounds like adding a crapton of gambling minigames is the next logic step. Go Anet!
