I love gambling and everything, but they should let us gamble with real money. Maybe turn our cash into “credits” or something to avoid the legal red tape. The law always be tryin’ to keep a brother down; feel me?

Wasn’t it free as part of the “Welcome Back Program”? I seem to remember reading that as being part of the package.

Thanks for sharing this interview with us Jers! Previously I had thought that the space was going to offer different casino games and thus might be lacking in that regard. But, reading that this space was originally intended to be an event in CP, and then needed to be made into a separate public space gives a new perspective. I did also take for granted that the space is completely free and did not know that it was exclusively produced by Locust_Star and Glasswalls. They did do a good job with the space based on what the original intent was, but if it is named a casino then I agree it should offer different games. I love poker and would have loved to see that there too, but of course we can go to the Godfather space for that cuz there is no more EA poker space :(. Maybe the space could evolve (like Dead Island in CP), and more games can be added such as Black Jack or slot machines.

With the redesign of PS Home coming soon, I am looking forward to the types of games that will emerge on the new platform.

The game and space are interesting, but a casino isn’t a casino with only one game. I love that it is free for anyone, that gives the kids without income somewhere to go and get a new reward, but after the reward is given and the newness wears off, I don’t believe this space will remain too popular unless they add new games to it periodically. I think that will be especially true once the new Hub and other spaces emerge. It is visually stunning, but I have only gone there once, since I can play the game I got in my own space and still get the reward. I may go back after I get those elusive 25,000 credits and play the pit boss, but I doubt this will become a favorite for me.
