What category does this suggestion apply to? (Discord, Forums, Other):

In-game gambling machines/wire mod.

 

The original post I'm expanding off:

Details/Information about your suggestion:

Limit the number of gambling machines in the streets. This could be done multiple ways, the main way I propose would be to add another job which would work like the nightclub manager. These jobs could be the casino employee/casino manager, there would be around 3-5 slots available for this job, which would allow players to use gambling machines and other casino-related stuff, limited to 1 or 2 per player.

 

Here are some benefits to limiting the amount of gambling machines:

-By limiting the number of machines, we would help reduce lag, especially right out of spawn.

 

-This would also free up the buildings around the spawn/PD area, allowing for gun dealers and other jobs to make shops in the populated areas of the town, rather than getting pushed to more obscure buildings. This would also help to make these jobs more appealing, as they would get more activity.

 

-Because of the reason above, shops would be more open, reducing the clutter of ppl just standing in the middle of the streets, which are usually gathered around the gambling machines, which can make RP more difficult in some situations.

 

Side effects to having a casino:

-Because the casino would have all the gambling machines (which hold money), this would become a rewarding, but difficult raid target such as the bank, this gives gangs a rewarding alternative to ganging up on smaller individual raid targets, which yield low reward when split among multiple gang members.

 

-Because of the above, this would also give more reason for hireable jobs such as security guards, PMC, and the law.

 

Sidenote:

I would probably just have a casino employee job, which would be able to use and place gambling machines. But if you wanted to add a casino manager, you could allow just the manager to build defense and hire protection (from PMC and guards) they could require rent or a one-time payment from the employees which would help make themselves some money.
