There has been a lott of abuse of these mechanics since their implementation that have mostly been shrugged off or considered in-roleplay situations, however, Dandead's case is a perfect example of how obscure the rules surrounding the casino things are. If it was a roleplay issue to be worked out over the matter of scamming a large amount of money, then that would be financial harm of over $50,000, providing ample reason for a PK. Kage killing him technically would have been considered in roleplay...
Now moving on to the actual abuse of the mechanics, this is something that is easily seen across the city, where people will wait for you to place large sums of money on a table before copying your character's ID, running to the back, and banning you so you are guranteed to lose the money. Hell, the other night in the same casino mentioned here, I was banned for simply being inside the casino near people who were gambling, I myself had not even been gambling was just merely watching and was banned lol.. There should be a roleplay reasoning and lead-up to reasonings behind why a casino would ban you. If a casino in Vegas ran off of the business model where they banned just about anyone that walks into the casino for too long, they would never make any money. Its not realistic for people to be allowed to ban any player they feel like or exploit the actual system itself to steal the money from the person with gurantee of nothing being allowed to be done to them in character. One simple fix would be not allowing the casino's to touch funds while players are actively gambling or have hands down on the table, to avoid them just swiping all of the money out the moment someone is about to win it all. Im sure there are other methods of approach to fixing the issue, but as Dan said, features like this should be working in tandem with the roleplay, not being used as a system to actively exploit money from players with guranteed amnesty from punishment as of currently.
