Gold duels and the casino
Wager gold on a duel, or take it to Gallywix's casino under Gadgetzan: the Big Wheel, the Book of Deus, blackjack.
Gold duels
Challenge another player to a duel with gold on it in Gurubashi Arena or the Battle Ring. Both stakes go into a wager window, are held by the house while you fight, and the winner takes the pot less a 5% cut.
- Wagers from 1 to 10,000.
- A challenge lapses after 60 seconds, and both stakes go back if the duel never starts.
- Ironman characters cannot wager.

Gallywix Goblin Gamba
Trade Prince Gallywix has taken over the sunken hall under the Gadgetzan auction house in Tanaris and turned it into a casino. Go down the stairs, past the bouncers, and the Trade Prince watches you lose from his couch.
The Big Wheel
The wheel from Rust. Twenty-five slots: twelve 1s, six 3s, four 5s, two 10s and a single 20. Everyone bets on the same wheel: for 50 seconds you put gold on any of the five numbers, then it turns, and every bet on the number it stops on pays that many times the stake, plus the stake back. A new round about every minute; bets 1 to 1,000 per number. The window shows the pot on every number and the last results, and everyone around sees the same wheel stop on the same slot.
The Book of Deus
The One-Armed Bandits along the wall: five reels, ten lines, and the Book as both wild and scatter. Three or more Books anywhere pay on their own and open ten free spins with one symbol chosen to expand: when it lands on enough reels it fills them and pays on every line, with its own music while it lasts. Five Champions pay 25 times the bet, and up to 250 times when they expand. Bets 1 to 100.
Blackjack
Lucky Sprazzle deals from a 6-deck shoe at a real card table. Blackjack pays 3 to 2, the dealer stands on 17, and you can hit, stand or double on your first two cards. Bets 1 to 500.
The house always collects
Every 30 minutes Skimgrit, the pit boss, takes his bouncers round the floor, empties the wheel, the machines and the table, and carries the house's winnings up the stairs to the Gadgetzan bank. It is real gold: what players have lost minus what they have won. So far he has made 780 trips and banked 9,227142 for the Trade Prince.
Every game runs in its own window with the Deus client patch, and falls back to a plain text menu without it. A bet open when the server goes down is refunded by mail.
