Skill in playing games, especially gambling games.

Gaming Overview

Gaming is a skill improved through playing gambling games in areas such as the Red Wing Casino. A high level in Gaming shows that a player has learned how to bend the odds in their favor - or at least failed many, many times in pursuit of a future payout.

Gaming Mechanics

Red Wing Casino Games

• In Cashfall and Loot Master Match-3, 4 pieces in a row grants an extra turn, 5 in a row grants two extra turns, and 2 matching connected sets of 3 also grants extra turns.
• Losing a match of Monsters and Mantids results in no councils or tokens, but you may receive Cashfall Match-3 tickets depending on how far you progressed.
• Successfully completed Monsters and Mantids games will award 2-3 Crown Tokens as well as the other cash-out rewards.
• Tables of Monsters and Mantids in the High-Stakes room (requiring at least level 30 Gaming) cost 250 councils more to start, but give you +5 max health and a free healing potion at the start.
• The level-up reward of Gaming "Improved gaming intuition (Monsters and Mantids)" increases a chance to be warned if you attempt to cash-out right before an event (rather than a fight).

Monsters and Mantids

• You can view the in depth instructions at each table. It is a text and dice based game. You start each game with a set of three random skills and have to beat a series of enemies by choosing one of the skills. A 'D' is a six-sided die, so if the skill says it does 2D damage then you will roll 2 dice and the added result will be the damage dealt to the enemy. At the end of each fight you can choose to level up or 'Master' a skill or to eat the enemy for lots of health. During gameplay you may come across a hat which can boost your health or damage, and is often based on rolling doubles. Other special events may happen that could result in loot, a fight, or death depending on how you roll and the event.
• A 'close call' may happen if you finish a fight with 5 or less hit points. When this happens you will get a Cashfall ticket at the end of the game, even if you die.
• You can cash-out periodically throughout the game. If you cash out (instead of dying) you will get councils equal to the amount of gold you have, the Cultural Artifacts you have become Red Wing Tokens.
• Cashing out with Cultural Artifacts can also cause a table buff to happen. The chance is 5% per artifact. The table buffs are powerful and benefit any player that plays on that table. Each table buff lasts a full real-time hour. These buffs can stack with each other, but only one instance of each type of buff can exist at the same time.
• List of Table Buffs (work in progress):
  • Perk Picker: When choosing a Perk, you have a fourth choice available.
  • Well-Prepared Adventurer: Start with Healing Potion and a Makeshift Bomb.
  • Hat Memorializer: There's a much higher chance that fallen mantises will be found with their hats still intact.
  • +1 damage to all player attacks.
  • +1 to the number of healing dice rolled when devouring the corpse of a slain enemy (you roll 6 dice instead of 5).
  • +1 to the number of Persuasion dice rolled for Persuasion checks (4 dice instead of 3). Persuasion dice are white in color.
  • +1 to the number of Saving throw dice rolled for Saving throws (4 dice instead of 3). Saving throw dice are black in color.
  • Stylish Adventurer: Start with a Fancy Hat (A stylish hat that boosts your Max Health +5, adds +1 to Diplomacy checks, and gives you 1D-3 Max Health whenever you devour a corpse after battle).
  • Lucky Looter: +25% extra gold found on slain enemies.
  • Start with a healing potion.
  • Start with a bomb.
• Monsters and Mantids costs 650 councils downstairs
• The High Roller room Monsters and Mantids costs 900 councils. You start with an extra 5 health and a health potion.
• Fast Games:
  • You can obtain fast games by tipping the mantis at least 1,000 councils to add [floor(tip/200)-1] fast games to your pool. For example tipping 1,000 councils gives 4 fast games, while tipping 10,000 councils yields 49.
  • Playing a 'fast game' makes all the dice roll at once instead of one at a time, speeding up the game.
  • You can tip the mantis exactly 1 council to see how many "fast games" you have remaining.
  • Fast games can be used at any table.

Cashfall, Loot Master, and Loot Master Deluxe

• In game instructions, located on Tutorial Console

"Instructions: drag gems to swap them with their neighbors in order to line up 3 of the same gems either horizontally or vertically. If you match 4 gems at once, you get a free turn, and if you match 5 at once, you get two free turns! (Note:you can only get credit for one 5-match in a single turn.)Learning how to set up 4-gem and 5-gem matches takes a lot of practice, but it's the secret to great high-scores!"

• A game of Loot Master Match-3 cost 450 councils
• A game of Loot Master Deluxe Match-3 costs 800 councils
• A Cashfall ticket is needed in order to play Cashfall Match-3
• Each type of game has a High Scores page. These are rolling high-score lists; entries fall off the list after 7 days
• The score of each game is the amount of councils you receive when it is over. You also get items based on what you earned during the game. Cashfall scores and payouts are higher but the items are always glass. The items and payouts of Loot Master Deluxe tend to be better than Loot Master

Cashfall Scoring Details

Note: (work in progress - may not be complete)

Scoring in Cashfall Match-3 is built around cascades. Each time matched gems clear (the player's own match, then every cascade it triggers), that step scores once: each matched group of one colour is worth 5 points, plus 5 more for a 4-gem match or 15 more for a match of 5 or more (including L and T shapes), and each step also adds a chain bonus of 0, 8, 19, 33, 50, 70, 93, 119... points (each increase is 3 more than the last).

A plain three-gem match therefore scores 5, 13, 24, 38, 55... on successive cascade steps, so long cascades are worth far more than big matches; groups cleared in the same step share that step's chain bonus, and gem colour does not affect points.

Once the first gem collection reaches 35 and its item is won, every later scoring step earns 3 extra points.

A game begins with 3 turns and each move costs one. A turn earns free turns from its single largest contiguous match, including matches made by cascades:

• 1 free turn for a 4-gem match
• 2 for a match of 5 or more (straight, L or T).
• Separate matches never combine, and awards do not stack, so a turn can gain at most one turn overall (a 4-gem match breaks even; a 5-gem match nets +1).
