Casinos and Gambling
The three starter towns, Holtburg, Yaraq and Shoushi (34.2S 73.6E) all have casinos where you can gamble away your MMDs for prizes. The Holtburg casino is located on the road south of town, Yaraq's casino is on the road east out of town, and Shoushi's is on the road southeast. In each casino, you can purchase low, medium or high stakes gambling tokens, for 5k, 25k and 50k pyreal respectively.
During the Risks and Rewards event, gambling got an upgrade with the addition of the Carenzi Race Track in Ayan Baqur.
Remarkably, the casinos are all unsheltered in open air. Therefore, every employee, patron, and thing at the casino is subject to the elements and even creatures that a foolhardy player could possibly lure from the nearby wilderness. Petitions have been sent to place casinos inside buildings but they were never answered. Presumably, the copious income generated at the casinos could pay for a new building to house them in, but the casino managers always decide to place those funds on different priorities for some dubious reason.
