Blockjack

The first release: a casino built of voxels, with six machines that play against the house and two tables for games between players. Chips you put on a machine are the bet, and its lever or button plays it.

Features

• Chips: six of them, white 1, red 5, green 25, black 100, purple 500 and gold 2500; they change into the next ones up and back in the crafting grid.
• Cashier: a brass till that turns emeralds into chips, ten for each, and chips back into emeralds at the same rate, so nothing is lost on the way in or out.
• Bets: every chip you put on a machine joins your bet, and the machine waits. Its own control plays the whole bet: the arm of the slot machine, the blue button of the plinko board, the lucky wheel and the blackjack table, the wheel of the roulette table. A hand without a chip takes the bet back, and so does walking away.
• Slot Machine: pull the arm and three drums of Minecraft symbols turn and stop one by one. Three alike pay 4 to 300 bets, two alike on the first two drums pay a little, the Nether Star stands for anything.
• Free spins: two creepers on the line give 3 free spins and three give 10; the machine plays them by itself with green lamps, and every free win is doubled.
• Plinko Board: a ball hops down eight rows of pegs into one of nine buckets, from 0.2 of the bet in the middle to 22 bets at the edges. Up to six balls can fall at once.
• Lucky Wheel: sixteen segments, up to 5 bets. Every peg that passes knocks the red flapper at the top aside, slower and slower until the wheel stops.
• Roulette Table: a five-block table with a turning wheel and a ball that runs round the rim. Bet on a number, a dozen, a column, red or black, even or odd, low or high; several players can bet on one spin. The chips of a bet lie beside the sign of their spot, so the felt can always be read.
• Blackjack Table: cards fly out of the shoe and turn over in the air. Four buttons on the table edge deal, hit, stand and double; a blackjack pays 3 to 2 and the dealer stands on 17.
• Card Duel Table: twenty-one between two to four players for a pot of their own stakes. Nobody sees your cards but you; the best hand takes the pot, and equal best hands share it.
• Dice Duel Table: two to four players throw two dice each out of a leather cup. The highest total takes the pot, and equal best totals throw again.
• Table Key: the player who put a table for players down sets it with the key: the stake, the seats, the time for a turn, the wait for players and an owner's cut of at most 5 percent, which the table shows under the stake at every free seat. A table that is taken down keeps its settings on its item.
• Fair odds: every game against the house pays back between 94 and 99 percent of what is bet in the long run, and nothing is given away for free. At the tables for players every chip of the pot is paid out again, and no setting touches the cards or the dice.
• Chips are never lost: breaking a machine gives back what lies on it, and chips for a player who has left the game wait until they are back.
• A round is played out: a machine cannot be broken in the middle of a round, so a bet that is about to lose cannot be saved by taking the machine down.
• Everything in 3D: every machine is a model of small voxels with its own animation: drums, levers, lamps, counters in voxel digits, tumbling dice, chips that jump out on a win.
• Advancements: eight of them, from the first chip to three sevens.
• Languages: 21 of them.
