Overview[]
A Gambling Hall appears in a kingdom home to a Elven Bungalow and Rogues Guild. Similarly to the Elven Lounge, it is an untaxable time and money suck to your Heroes. At-least this building has an ability: it gives you a chance to gamble in a basic roulette game, if you are feeling lucky. And desperate.
Gambling[]
| Color | Odds | Example Payout (Bet = 25g) |
| Blue | 1:2 | 50g |
| Red | 1:5 | 125g |
| Gold | 1:20 | 500g |
| Skulls | 1:4 | 0g (All colors lose) |
Strategies[]
While there is no "strategy" to gambling, the Gambling Hall can serve as a last ditch effort to get the required gold as the days count down, in quests like A Deal with a Demon.
While it is possible that a Hero will exit with more gold than he or she entered with, it is a very low chance, and will not have enough effect on the economy to make it worthwhile. The only possible benefit is that the hero will have more money to buy potions/equipments/enhancements with.
Official Description[]
In-game Description[]

- Red bet wins 1 of 5, paying five times the wager
- Gold bet wins 1 of 20, paying twenty times the wager
- Skulls come up 1 of 4, all colors lose
- Draws in heroes and entices them to spend their time and gold

Another of the vices associated with allowing Elves to settle in your borders is gambling. Strong ties to the Rogues Guild keep the Gambling Hall off-limits to on-duty Tax Collectors.
