No, people may win a few million off it with ease, but its easy to lose a few million as well. And its nice to just chill there and gamble once in a while.

You can change your vote now. But I don't think it'll make a huge difference.  :(

NO! I honestly spend more time gambling and getting e-monies than I do fighting...

And don't get rid of fighting in casinos, I enjoy getting sprees while I gamble, also, some servers have 'gambling licenses', ewww, just ewww.

eDiT: Wait, it's set in Vegas. Most of the fighting is on the bloody strip! Removing gambling is not 'in the spirit of the server'.

If it really makes us cash cheater free: REMOVE IT!

I like gambling too, even if I often loose.
But if real pro gambers got their luck, it is really unbalanced.

I hear you all...
Gambling = Easy money

But when you have a full bank account, you have one thing less to look forward too.
Competition brings better gameplay to the server.. And the cheater thing, wow one thing less to have to look out for. Imagine if instead of gambling there was lottery or some sort of simple scripted gambling feature... Could be nice, but I doubt I'm going to get the gamblers' vote to remove it, no matter what sense I make.

If gambling isn't removed, here's another option:

Make it so that if someone with a debt leaves for more than 10 minutes (or whatever the time is to get weapons/money reset), their debt gets subtracted from their bank account.

For example:
I have $-500,000 on me, and $2,000,000 in my bank. I leave the game for an hour. When I come back, I'll have $1,500,000 in my bank, and will spawn with the regular $500.

This would at least get rid of the strategy where you gamble until you have a $1,000,000 debt, quit, and come back in 15 minutes and it's all gone.

I agree with Chainer, It's not fair that gamblers log out for 15 minutes and comeback and their debt is gone. In a way, I consider that as bug abuse.

Slightly off topic: I made a new account and have played for 6hours with 4million without asking for cash or gambling.
(to on topic)
However, unless you know the server well and how/where to make money you cant make money that fast and so you go gambling to try and earn a lil cash, for weps so you can kill people.

Also, if this is about "gambling isnt the point of DM" then why not just give people weapons and say "kill all"? cus then its pure DM. LW's (imo) was never a "purist" DM server - there are so many other things to do, like raceing, gambling, gangs, territories, Fluffy, killing (in ANY way possible) and so much more. LW's always tried to keep the 'spirit' of GTA with so many things to do and not just come on and go "oh i have to kill people".
Also, if people get bored of gambling, surely they would get bored of DMing all the time? Gamblings a nice litle rest.
Further, i meant hte gambling licence so admins/mods could still detect cash haxors and not so much to stop people from gambling. If your good at gambling i say go do it, if your good at DMing, go do that!

Can everyone sit and think about what Ace said for a second? Gambling is awesome, even though it put me in debt when i came with the intent to make money, it's still really cool, and it needs to stay. Sometimes people get bored of just mass killing people or fighting, and in Little Whitey's you have the choice to do other things like race, gamble, and so on.

I also don't know what you guys mean when you say it's easy. I had 17k when i went into 4 dragons, and I came out in debt 5k. Please just keep the gambling, it's fine how it is.
