Not sure if it's the same elsewhere, but who the hell would wanna gamble elsewhere? Vegas, baby. -bp

Vegas, baby. -bp Nice to see some claims backed up with actual statistics From what I see in the video tho, it seems he is getting back around 40-50% of his tokens, but since he is just gambling on and on they run out eventually. Did someone count the number of times he ran the smuggler machines? He had 30 tokens so if he more than 60 times then this is working like a casino in real life really.

The law dictates a minimum return rate for slot machines. Usually 75% or higher. That is actual law, which can be enforced in a real Court of Law, btw, not Cartoon Network lawyers on Forums. http://www.slotsinvegas.com/payback/ <-- an idea on how it works in simple words.

I don't get why some people are concerned about there being gambling in game. The cartel packs themselves are a gamble

So please stop spamming tripe like this which you know is totally inaccurate. Heck, Bioware even gave players the ability to use COMMS as currency, for the raiders who don't use basics anymore, and the PVPers that don't need more warzone comms. At this point, your hammering on the Cartel Market comes across as petty. Do you have any idea what you're talking about? You do realize bioware WILL eventually connect the slot machines with the cartel market as a source of income.

The cartel packs themselves are a gamble To gamble for something and gambling as an activity are different things. You see, in the little thing some call Real World, gambling is a serious thing and is regulated by law. SO, good ole Bioware should publish the return payouts for those slots.
