The casino
Play the Fortune machine, Cracker Spins, Voidscape Blackjack and Void Hold'em behind the Edgeville bank, with their rules and returns.
Three cabinets stand in a row just south of the Edgeville bank, and a gap in the bank's back wall leads straight to them. All three are called Fortune machine in game; choose Play on the one you want:
| Cabinet | Game | Where |
|---|---|---|
| First | Fortune machine and Cracker Spins | (214, 458) |
| Middle | Voidscape Blackjack | (213, 458) |
| Third | Void Hold'em | (212, 458) |
Before you play
- Every game takes unnoted coins from your inventory. Stand at the cabinet you are using.
- You cannot play in combat or within 10 seconds of it, while poisoned, trading, duelling, banking or shopping, or while you are taking part in or watching an event.
- Winnings go to your inventory, or to your bank if your inventory is full. If neither has room, they are recorded and delivered when you log in or next use the cabinet. Winnings are never dropped. While a payout is waiting, that game will not take another bet from your account.
- There is no daily limit and no wait between plays. Ironman characters can play.

View odds in the machine's menu shows the chance of every result. These are long-run expected returns, not a promise for a session. Payout multiples include the stake returned. The ten reels of Cracker Spins only show a result that is already decided.
Voidscape Blackjack
You play alone against the dealer, with Hit, Stand, Double and Split when they are legal.
Wagers
Bet any whole number of coins from 1 to 300,000. Doubling takes that hand's wager again and splitting takes your first wager again, so at most 1,200,000 coins are at risk in one round.
Table rules
- Cards come from an endless deck: every card is an independent draw.
- The dealer stands on soft 17.
- The dealer checks for blackjack when showing an Ace or a ten-card, so a dealer blackjack only ever takes your first bet.
- Double on any first two cards, including after a split. You get one card, then stand.
- Split once, when both cards have the same value. Any two ten-cards can be split. Split Aces get one card each.
- A hand that reaches 21 stands by itself.
- No insurance and no surrender.
Payouts
| Result | Pays |
|---|---|
| Win | 1:1 |
| Blackjack (first two cards, not after a split) | 3:2 |
| Push | Your wager back |
On an odd wager, the half coin of a blackjack payout is rounded down. With even wagers and perfect play the game returns 99.43%, a house edge of 0.57% that comes only from these rules. Cards are drawn with secure randomness on the server.
Leaving and watching
- If you walk away mid-hand, the round is saved. Come back within 10 minutes of your last move to carry on. After that, opening the cabinet stands your unfinished hands and settles the round.
- Your account can have one round open at a time, on any of its characters.
- The cabinet shows TOTAL WAGERED and TOTAL PAID TO PLAYERS for the whole server.
- While someone plays, a small badge of two cards floats above their head. Click it to watch their hand. Watchers never see the dealer's hidden card early.
- Blackjack works on the desktop, web and Android clients.
Void Hold'em
No-limit Texas Hold'em against other players: 6 seats, and at least 3 players to deal a hand.
| Table | Blinds | Buy-in |
|---|---|---|
| Copper | 1,000 / 2,000 | 50,000 to 500,000 |
| Silver | 10,000 / 20,000 | 500,000 to 5,000,000 |
| Gold | 100,000 / 200,000 | 5,000,000 to 50,000,000 |
- The only house edge is the rake: 5% of a contested pot, at most 5 big blinds, and only when a flop is dealt.
- You have 20 seconds to act. If time runs out you check if you can, otherwise you fold.
- Buy in and add chips while standing at the cabinet. You can top up between hands, up to the table's maximum.
- Play the House is a private, one-hand all-in for exactly 50,000 coins at the Copper table.
- Pots of 100 big blinds or more are announced to the world.
