How it Works
Make sure you have the up to date version of the Universal Venue List, you can download it from this website.
Change the Lot Type of any venue in your game to the Casino Venue. Make sure to add all the required objects to the venue in order for it to function.
Once you have sorted out your venue you can visit it with any player and try your luck in the various games on site.
The first thing you want to do before playing Black Jack, Roulette or Slots is to convert some Simoleons to Chips. To do that, click on the Chips Converter Machine and select Trade Chips.
Acquiring 100 Chips will cost you 1000 Simoleons.
When you are in the middle of a gambling session you can click on the Chips Converter Machine and select Check Chips Count to see how many chips your Sim has left.
Whenever you are done playing and you want to cash out, click on the Chips Converter Machine again and select Withdraw Simoleons.
Go to buy mode and search for Black Jack Table – place it in your casino venue.
Black Jack Rules
Before the dealing begins, each player places a bet in chips.
Card Values/Scoring:
An ace can be worth 1 or 11, this will always be in favor of the player. Face cards are worth 10 and any other card is its pip value.
The Game:
The player(s) attempts to beat the dealer by getting a count as close to 21 as possible, without going over 21.
You can also click the Black Jack Table and select Rules to read up on the rules in-game.
How To Use the Table
Make sure there is a dealer behind the table first and foremost. If there is not a dealer present you can click on the table and select Hire Dealer.
Once the dealer is in place, click on the table and select Play Blackjack.
You will get several prompts in terms of betting, staying or trying your luck with more cards. At the end of the round you will either win back double of what you bet or lose your bet depending on the outcome of the round.
Go to buy mode and search for Roulette Table – place it in your casino venue.
Roulette Rules
First you choose the amount of chips you want to bet. Then you choose whether or not you want to place your bet on a number or a color.
Color:
You can choose to place your bet on red or black. If the ball lands on the color you placed your bet on you will get a payout that is double your bet.
Number:
You can choose to place your bet on a number between 1 and 37. If the ball lands on the number you placed your bet on you will get a payout that is your 37x your bet.
You can also click the Roulette Table and select Rules to read up on the rules in-game.

Go to buy mode and search for Slots Machine – place it in your casino venue.
You can click the Slots Machine and select Rules to read up on the rules in-game.
How To Use the Slots Machine
First you choose the amount of chips you want to feed into the machine. Each time you roll the wheels it costs 5 chips, which equals 50 Simoleons.
Each time you win the Chips you win will go straight to your Sim, while the Chips you fed into the Machine will stay in the machine until you are either all out of Chips or you stop playing.
Once you stop playing, the remaining chips in the machine will go straight to your Sim.
Pack Requirement
First things first… this part of the mod requires the Horse Ranch expansion pack to work. Horse racing takes place at the Equestrian Center in the Old Appaloosa neighborhood in Chestnut Ridge, which comes with that expansion.
How to Bet on Horses
Travel to the Equestrian Center, click on it, and select “Bet on Horses”, assuming the Center is open. It’s open between 7 AM and 7 PM.
Once it’s open and you’re ready to place a bet, your Sim will walk over to the Center, and you can choose how much money to bet. You’ll then get a list of horses ranked from top tier to bottom tier. From there, you pick which horse you want to bet on.
Your Sim will stay inside the Equestrian Center during the race and come back out once it’s over.
Race Results
After the race, you’ll get a notification showing the top 3 horses and whether your Sim won or not.
If you bet on a lower-ranked horse and it places in the top 3, your Sim will earn more money compared to betting on a top-ranked horse that wins.
Insider Tips
There are a couple of NPCs around the neighborhood you can pay for insider tips on which horse is more likely to win.
I’m not going to say exactly who they are, that’s something you can discover yourself. What I can say is that one of them is significantly more accurate than the others, but also much more expensive.
The cheaper ones can still give good tips, they’re just wrong a tad bit more often.
Play Online Poker
Click on any computer, go to “Online Poker”, and select “Play Online Poker”.
The outcome of the game depends entirely on your Sim’s Online Poker skill level. The higher the skill, the better the chances of winning.
Online Poker Skill
You build your Online Poker skill by playing poker and using related interactions.
Here’s what you unlock at each level:
Pretty self explanatory across the board.
These features tie into the Luck system from the Enchanted by Nature expansion and my gambling addiction system.
That means your Sim can develop a gambling addiction if they overdo it.
Cross Functionality
This mod works as a standalone mod, but has additional features with other Basemental Mods installed.

LUCK SYSTEM
If you have the Enchanted by Nature expansion pack installed, and you haven’t disabled the Luck feature through the game settings, luck will now factor in on the outcomes of the various casino games.
It took me a while to fine-tune this so you can feel it having an impact, without it being way too deterministic. I hope you will enjoy it!
