So far the casino is offering a game called Matari Pick'em:
Quote: Minmatar love to gamble. During their enslavement by the Amarrians, the Matari slaves played simple gambling games using a deck of cards. Some liked to bet whether the next card drawn from the deck was a high card or a low card. Others would wager on the suit of the next card. Still others would try to guess the numerical rank of the next card. The luckiest gamblers would try to guess the exact card to come next. Although the Matari are no longer enslaved, they still enjoy playing Matari Pick'em.
There are three other games in development: "Can Flip", "The War Deck", and "Gotan's Modified Blackjack." The new games will be rolled out as they are completed.
FAQ from the casino website:
Eve is full of scams. This is just another scam right?
No. I made my isk through trading, mission running, and pvp. I'm to a point in my eve career where I have lots of isk and wanted a new project to invest it in. I love gambling, and making a casino was a good fit for me.
Sure, you claim not to be a scammer but you are just a scammer right?
No. This isn't an alt. This is my main character. I don't have any other accounts. You can view my character details and wallet balance here Edwin's Eveboard. I've completed more than 700 contracts in the last 12 months and you can verify my contract history in game. You can view my killboard details here Edwin's Killboard which shows i'm an active pilot. Finally you can usually find me in the various trade channels in game (especially the blueprints channel) where i'm engaging in market arbitrage daily.
Ok, you make some compelling arguments, but I still don't trust you with my isk!
Fair enough, if you do not feel comfortable depositing your isk into the casino please don't.
Alright, I would like to play in your casino. How do I get started?
First step is to create an account at www.rothbards.com Sign up using your ingame character name. A random password will be emailed to you. You can then change your password after logging into the casino.
I've made my account and set my password, how do I start winning money?
Once you've created an account you need to fund it. To do so you need to send isk to Edwin Rothbard (Date Of Birth 007-12-07 16:06:00) ingame. Please put "Casino deposit" under reason when sending money.

FAQ (continued)
How can I contact you if I have more questions?
You can eve mail me in game. You can also visit the casino's public chat channel "Rothbard's Casino."
Can I add you to my contacts list and watch list?
Sure.
Ok, i've won a bunch of money and I want to cashout. What do I do?
Click the cashout button in the casino. As soon as I receive notice that you want to cash out the isk will be credited to your account ingame. Please note that I can't send you isk if i'm not online. You might want to check to see if i'm in the casino channel ingame and/or if i'm online according to your watch list ingame. As long as i'm logged in you should get your money within a minute or two. If i'm logged out it could take up to 12 hours to receive your winnings.
I deposited money with one character, but I want to send my winnings to another character. How do I do this?
You can't. As part of our provisional gambling license from Caldari State, we agreed not to engage in money laundering activities. The casino will only credit winnings back to the same player who deposited the isk. No exceptions. I don't want to get caught up by isk farmers who try to use the casino to obfuscate their transactions or hackers who steal eve accounts then try to hide the money. Any requests to send money to another account will be ignored.
Someone else is claiming to be an official casino representative, should i trust him?
No. The only official representative of Rothbard's Casino is Edwin Rothbard himself.
I think your random number generator is messed up as it seems 'streaky', is your RNG broken?
No, the casino uses dual white noise generators and one 'gambler' phase inverter to ensure good random number generation. Aggregate stats will be published on the casino website so you can verify the outcome of the games.
Your max betting limits are too low! I want to gamble more. Why won't you raise the betting limits?
A casino is only as good as it's ability to pay winners. We want to ensure that there is always plenty of cash available at the cashier's cage to pay any request for payout immediately. Hopefully we can raise the betting limits in the near future once we get a feel for how big the payouts will be for the casino.
C'mon everyone has fancy websites but yours is so blah. Why doesn't your site have more eyecandy?
The site was meant to be reliable, functional, and to run smoothly in the ingame browser. Personally I hate laggy sites, and I was determined that mine would run fast.
Alright, i'm gambling and having fun but I want more games! Are you going to make more games?
Yes! The first game at launch is Matari pick'em. The next game under development is called "Can Flip." This game will feature a grid of giant secure containers. It will cost 1m isk to click on a container. Every container will contain a prize. Some containers might contain a unit or trit or a metal scrap. Others will contain faction ships and plex cards! The third game the casino plans to launch is "The War Deck." This will be a take on the Card game called "War!" The fourth game slated for release is "Gotan's Modified Blackjack."
Are you going to offer poker?
No. I enjoy poker a lot, but I wanted to make a casino that pilots could enjoy in small chunks without a big time commitment. There are lots of time ingame where you are stuck waiting for a number of minutes waiting. I made the casino to fill those small gaps of time. Poker is a game that takes much more time to play a session. Additionally in casino games such as blackjack you are only playing against the house. In poker you are playing against other players AND against the house as the house almost always takes a cut of the action thus making it even harder to win. Lastly there's always the potential risk of player collusion in poker.

I just deposited 10m isk to try this game. Edwin gave me the promised 1m on top so i started to degenerate this iskies away. If anyone interested in math: expected value of Matari pick'em variants: High Low 92,31% Suit 87,50% Rank 92,31% Suit and Rank 96,15%
Suit and rank looks pretty solid and i played it for 1m a round. Cashout was not tried because of bustoness. Good luck in this casino.

Edwin paid me my 100m payout even though it was a result of a bug. Way cool! Kudos for being ethical.

@Gatan Thanks for trying out the casino! I think the vig is a bit high on the suit game and I might change the payout to 3.6 or maybe 3.7 to one to give players a better gamble. Thanks for the feedback. :)
Originally by: Grimoone Edwin paid me my 100m payout even though it was a result of a bug. Way cool! Kudos for being ethical.
In an effort to save money I hired this bloke from the Gallente Federation to work on the casino. When I gave him the payout schedule for the games I told him the payout was 3.5 to 1 on the suit game. Turns out he coded it as 4.5 to one thus turning a game for the house into a game for players!
Grim turned his 11m into 111.2m and then cashed out 100m of his profits. That's the last time I hire Federation programmers to do any important work!
There are still more 1m isk deposit bonuses to give away! Sign up now to get yours.

High Low 92,31% Suit 87,50% -> 95,00% Rank 92,31% -> 96.20% Suit and Rank 96,15%
The payouts were increased a bit for a couple of the games. Suit now pays 3.8 to 1 instead of 3.5 to 1 making it a better game for the players! Rank now pays 12.5 to 1 instead of 12 to 1 also making it a better gamble!
There are still some of the 1 million is signup bonuses available if you still haven't created an account.
Things well pretty smooth the first day. We received lots of good feedback from players and we are working to make the casino better!
We are also working hard to get our second game "Can Flip" rolled out. Hopefully that will happen in a couple days.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!
There have been 35 account signups so far which means I still have 15m isk to give away to the next 15 players who create an account!
We've also been working on making the site easier to use, and we are working on making the site a bit easier on the eyes.
I'm hoping to launch "Can Flip" by this weekend!
Also please stop by "Rothbard's Casino" public chat channel and say hello.

Nice people in the chat and all in all a place you wanna hang out, just to see if they've gotten Blackjack up and running yet ;)

Edited by: Edwin Rothbard on 02/01/2011 20:32:59 Can flip has been launched! Please come try it out.
Quote: Can Flip takes its name from a popular pastime of high sec ninja looters who open up cans in hopes of finding valuable items and striking it rich. While can flipping in high sec will give you a criminal timer, can flipping at Rothbard's doesn't turn you red to the rest of the universe! Each Can Flip game has a number of cargo containers. Each on contains a prize! There are games of various limits and various numbers of cans. Each game has a theme and some of the top prizes are listed. Red cans have already been chosen, green cans can still be flipped to get the prize inside. The cost per can is listed for each game. Just click on any green can to find your prize. You can claim your prizes in game from the cashout page. All prizes will be contracted to you from Jita 4-4 Caldari Navy Assembly Plant. Good luck!
The first can flip game up is called "Miner's Delight." The grand prize is a shiny new hulk. There are 3 covetors as second prizes. There are another 56 T2 modules and rigs in the cans. Every can is a winner though as you will get at least 1 tritanium for opening a can. It only costs 1m per try to play Miner's Delight. Come play!
