Proposal: Gambling Module #457
Description
Also something I'm adding to my version, I can add as a PR if it's something that fits with your system. I will mention that mine will be up for a limit time (during a convention) but i've tried to make it so these modules don't break the economy and is balanced.
A tavern mini-game system with two dice games. Players can bet gold and try their luck at the bar.
Features
• Two games - Dice (vs house) and High/Low (streak multiplier)
• Room-restricted - Only works in rooms with isbar: true
• Bet limits - Prevents abuse with max bet caps
• Streak system - High/Low rewards consecutive correct guesses
