    I'm truly a gambling man, I love slots and i love cards. What if we had an in game casino full of kolbold backed machines. Goblin hookers, Elf Dealers and all that 9 yards.

    It's not so much a gold sink if:
    • You're expecting something in return.
    • You can win a lottery or jackpot.

    If it's run anything like Vegas, on the average you will lose money because of the house percentage. Just don't put blackjack in there or people will card count themselves to wealth without a good AI to detect and kick out card counters.

    Slot machines seem very much like something you would expect from kobolds, and it doesn't take much math to make sure they aren't net gain. The bigger problem is likely to be ESRB ratings.

    By law, it's something like and 85% return in Vegas, at least on slots. Not sure the exact number, so it is something like that. Gambling would be a slow sink and random wealth re-distributor.

    That's where the brilliance of how recipes used to be handled was. They could've made a recipe that used gold like a gold statue and all of a sudden. Gold sink and stuff at player vendors. Example... Golden Dragon statue 3000 gold ingots.
