(Slots Banner) Slots, and how to play: There is a 100g gambling fee per each 5 die roll to play slots. Thus if you are wanting to roll 5 times, you will have to pay 500g. All trades will be sent to the (Fundraising Mule). The Gambling Fee is then the winning pot that anyone playing slots will be winning from. To Play: Send in a trade to Fundraising Mule with the title of the activity you are doing, and the number of time you are doing it.  Roll 5 6-sided dice. (roll post graphic?) You win if: 3 of the same number gets you 10% of the jackpot 5 of the same number gets you 75% of the jackpot.

(High Roller Banner)
High Roller gambling has the same 100g gambling fee, except this is a one time fee, instead of a recurring fee. The rules for this are simple.
Send in your gambling fee trade.
(trade graphic again?)
Start your gambling, with the amount you want to gamble away, the number range you want to roll within.
(conditions graphic?)
Gambling can only be initiated once someone quotes you and says they accept.
(confuirm graphic?)
The winner is the person with the highest number roll, thus the name of the section.
(both rolls graphic)
The trade winnings need to be sent as soon as the gamble has been finished. If not, and we get a report, we will ban you from gambling and retain the fee you paid.

Blackjack banner here
Blackjack is only available when Annual Ball//Robayn (??) is currently online to deal cards.
Right now the blackjack tables are closed.
Gambling Fee: 500g (minimum bet)
Playing:
Players send trade. Once trade is complete the thread owner will generate a number between 1 & 14, quoting the player. This is their starting "card." Then the thread owner will generate another number between 1&14 - this is the dealer's card. The player can then either tell the thread owner to "hit me" or "stand." If he chooses "hit me" then the thread owner rolls again, generating a number between 1&14. This second number is added to the first. If the total is higher than 21, then the player has "busted" and loses his money. If the number is lower than 21 the dealer "hits" themselves, generating a number between 1 & 14. If the dealer goes "bust," the player wins. If not, the game continues with the same pattern. At any time the player may choose to "stand"; this freezes their value and the dealer continues to "hit" themselves until their cards total higher than the player's without totaling more than 21.
Winning:
When the dealer wins the player gets nothing. When the player wins he will get his bet plus 250g from the Casino. If the player gets blackjack (21) he gets his bet back plus 500g from the ball - 1000g total!

special events.
Month of September
Alright guys, during the last week of September, 24th - 30th, we have to give out a bit of gold to you guys, so we are willing to loosen our slot machines and pay double of whatever you win.
So, lets say you win 10% of the pot, which roughly enters out to 1k, we will send you a bonus 1k, which means you just doubled your winnings, thus more gold in your pocket.

(About the Ball Banner)
The Annual Gaian Ball is an event made by and for the users of Gaia Online. It's about hanging out and having fun, RPing a bit and getting to know the other users in this huge community we call Gaia.
In 2003, Misao made the first ever Annual Ball. The admins were so impressed with what she'd done that they released the red rose corsage and black bow tie for her ball. Note that these were the first non-store items on Gaia ever!
In 2004, Misao refused to make the next annual ball convinced that the greed on Gaia was far too much to yield it. In light of that challenge, Setzer appeared. He made a topic in QnF calling for people to help out and make the 2nd Annual Ball. This year, instead of one host there were many each with their own distinct rooms. It gained so much popularity amongst the users that Setzer decided to ask for our own forum to party in. As some of you know, the answer was yes. This was the first time Gaia had ever opened a Forum up for a user run event. Really this ball is extraordinary. Not only that, but again the admins seemed to be impressed and decided to release the G-pins (much to everyone's surprise since we (the hosts) didn't think there would be ANY items involved.
In 2005, it was that time again. Setzer passed the torch onto Razumi Yazura to host the 3rd Annual Ball since Setz thought that it would be best to change the main hosts every year (a very wise decision). That year we developed a theme which was planetary. All the rooms were based off of planets, but they each had their own underlying themes. Again the ball gained popularity and of course we asked for a forum. But this time we were getting the mansion! This of course was the first and last time the mansion was going to be opened for a User event. No items this year, but it was still a HUGE success!
In 2006, the fourth annual ball was hosted in a guild , due to unforseen complications, and the fact that the admins didn't want to open up the mansion for the ball. The slim staff of 16 worked day and night a mear two months before the official date of the ball, to keep this seemfully dying tradition alive. No official host was named this year, and command was shared between all those who were involved. Needless to say it was a quiet year that year, but it was the first ball that had a plot totally made by the users! Quiet, but still a success and fun!
In 2007, Leyna hosted this year's ball and the moderators allowed the ball the have it's own forum for the 5th Annual Ball for the public to join in on the fun. The Ball's theme this year was Elements and it was quite exciting being able to make it public once more to a new generation of Gaians. It was a huge success and helped to open up the Ball to more people to help.
In 2008, with the Ball so successful as the year before everyone wanted to make this year's the biggest and best of them all. This year's host was chosen to be Freaksrus! Again for the 2nd time in a row the Ball was able to successfully gain a forum for the 6th Annual Ball. The ball was able to gain new ideas with the publicity of the last year and the ball's theme was chosen to be Time Periods after a quick change. Despite being a previous theme chosen for the 2nd Annual Ball all that participated had a ton of fun especially with a fun twist on the plot and the Ball's first time have it drawn out Manga style!
In 2010 the Ball was, once again, a huge success. It was perhaps the biggest success that the Annual Ball had reached up to date. With its theme of Mt. Olympus and the greek gods, it was a heavenly delight for everyone involved. This ball was a more educational ball as each of the hosts did their research and played an authentic figure from Greek Mythology. Everyone had a blast at this ball, setting a new standard to achieve for all the balls to come.
2011 featured a new theme: the 7 Deadly Sins. Princess Angelishia hosted as the princess of the pride palace, and each of the seven rooms featured a combination of sins and their opposites. It was a lot of rooms, but it was successfully pulled off thanks to all the hard work from everyone involved. It was concluded by a large after-party in towns for all the guests, hosts, and co-hosts to go nuts (and they pretty much did!)
2012 was our last ball, presenting a story about dreams. With Broken_Bleeding_Angel as the main host, playing the Dream King, and LilChibiUsa as her CO and the Dream Queen, all the rooms were tied together with one plot about the failing worlds of dreams. Each room's plot resolution was one more step towards saving all of the worlds from being lost. This was the 10th Annual Ball and a milestone for the AURB.
