How to Gamble
Our main playing room is Capulet Towers, a Casino/Hotel. Each character has the following account to draw upon for Gambling in Capulat Towers.
1 dot = $500
2 dots = $4,000
3 dots = $25,000
4 dots = $250,000
5 dots = $2,500,000
6 dots = $25,000,000
7 dots = $250,000,000
8 dots = $2,500,000,000
This equates to half of their liquidation value. (See Description of Resources in VtM
Revised) A character can gain or lose Resource dots through Gambling.
For example, A character with Resources 5 has $2,500,000 with which to gamble. If he
loses it, then he will only have Resources 4. Losing your allocated amount account
will cause cash-flow problems (e.g., have to sell the Mansion, etc.) On the other
hand, if a character winnings raise his stake from $2,500,000 to $25,000,000, then he or
she will gain Resources 6.
For the main room only blackjack and the slots can be
played...private poker games will be held on a regular basis. Also players may play and
bet against each other...whatever game they choose in the PR SFbn VIP lounge WW

If the player is satisfied with what he/she has the dealer then rolls two 10 sided

The person closet to '21' wins, if the player recieves 'blackjack' a combination of 21

'pushes' (ties). The game is then resolved with chips exchanging hands.
Poker- The dealer rolls five 13 sided dice for the players hand. The player then declaires
their highest winning hand from these five cards. The dealer then rolls five 13 sided dice
