**The house always wins. That's the point.**

Your Coinkeep economy has quests that mint money and a market that
moves it around - Highroller is where it goes to disappear. Twenty-two
ways to bet, every one a block you place, every wager banked straight
against the Coinkeep balance. Build a corner arcade or a full casino
floor; your players will fund the carpet.

**THE FLOOR** - Standing slot cabinets, two blocks of casino and a
400x server-announced jackpot with the reels at eye height. High-low
climbs, the under/lucky/over dice table, a wheel you can read the
odds straight off, and $500 scratch cards hiding a $100,000 ticket.

**THE TABLES** - Real blackjack: 3:2, dealer stands all 17s, double
and split, a 0.57% edge if you play perfect basic strategy - the best
game in the house, in writing. Jacks-or-Better video poker on a true
52-card deck with the six standard paytables. European roulette with
timed rounds where the whole server bets the same spin. Punto banco
baccarat with the genuine third-card tableau. Casino War with the
double-tie bonus. Sic Bo on the Atlantic City paytable. A Creeper
Sweeper where every safe tile multiplies the pot until the hiss. Keno
with no pick-count trap and a 250,000x top prize.

**THE SERVER ROLLS THE DICE** - Every outcome is decided server-side.
The client only animates what it's told - the dealer's hole card
never even crosses the wire until the hand is over.

**THE BOOK** - A Server Lottery whose pot everyone can watch grow. A
Bookmaker Stand where an operator opens a market on ANYTHING by
handing it a written book - players stake, winners split the pool
parimutuel-style, and the bookie can't bet his own book. Duel Wagers
where two stakes go on the pedestal and the next death settles it.
A Race Kit - starting gates that physically hold the pigs until the
gun, a checkered finish line that pays the winning backers the moment
the first rider crosses. Bingo Night, one card each, first line takes
the pot. Plinko with three published boards up to 850x. And bolt a
Progressive Jackpot Link onto your slots: one server-wide pool, fed by
every linked spin, until triple Stars takes the LOT.

**PLAYER-VS-PLAYER MONEY IS RAKED, NEVER EDGED** - lottery, book,
duels, races and bingo take a flat configurable cut (5-10% defaults)
and the rest goes back to players. If nobody backed the winner, every
stake refunds in full.

**DRESS THE FLOOR** - neon tubes in six colours, patterned casino
carpet, card-table felts, chip stacks, velvet stanchions, brass
railing, a chasing-light marquee, a giant die, TWELVE table placards
(blackjack to hold'em - so nobody has to ask which table is which)
and eight hanging pit signs to name your zones: TABLES, SLOTS,
ARCADE, HIGH ROLLERS, RACE BOOK, CASINO, WELCOME, DUELS. Plus MARQUEE
LETTERS, A to Z in chasing bulbs - spell your casino's name in lights, exactly like the
Grand Casino spells its own. All in the Coinkeep shop. There's even
a Vending Machine that sells actual food at honest Coinkeep-catalog
prices - stock it from config, and by house charter nothing it sells
can ever touch the odds. The House Brew is delicious and will not
make you lucky.

**REAL ODDS, IN WRITING** - Every game publishes its paytable in its
own GUI, and those aren't marketing numbers: automated tests enumerate
every reel combination, every dice outcome, all 2.6 million poker
hands, all 13^6 baccarat coups, all 4096 plinko paths, and a full
blackjack strategy solver - every release, or it doesn't ship. An
undocumented edge is a scam; ours is on the sign.

**YOUR HOUSE, YOUR RULES** - Casino blocks are OWNER-LOCKED: what
you place, only you (or an op) can break - and a blueprint paste is
yours, floor to sign. Per-game switches and stake limits in
`highroller-server.toml`, plus an optional daily-loss cap for servers
that want a safety net. Crash, logout or a closed menu mid-game
escrows or banks the player's money - live hands wait in the table's
NBT for you to come back. The house edge is the only way to lose
money that isn't the game itself.

**THE FLAGSHIP: TEXAS HOLD'EM** - A real multi-seat table: 2 to 6
players, no-limit, real blinds, real betting rounds, real SIDE POTS
that survive the ugliest multi-way all-in. Table stakes: buy in from
your balance, your stack lives at the table in escrow, stand up to
bank it. Hole cards never leave the server until showdown - not even
your own client sees the others'. The action clock checks or folds
slowpokes (that's the disconnect grace too), and a server restart
mid-hand refunds every live bet. 5% rake per pot, floored - and no
flop, no drop.

**CRAPS, PROPERLY** - Pass and Don't Pass through real point rounds,
the Field on every roll, the whole rail riding one shooter on timed
communal rounds. Pass 1.41%, Don't Pass 1.36% (the 12 bars it), Field
5.56% with 2 and 12 paying double. No odds bets - an EV-zero bet is
against the house charter, and the odds page says so instead of
hiding it.

**THE HOUSE ITSELF** - A roadside Saloon and a GRAND CASINO that
spells its name in chasing marquee lights spawn naturally in the
world: C-A-S-I-N-O across the porte-cochere and down the sign
tower, corner towers on the skyline, a slots wall of standing
cabinets, a wide-aisled placarded table pit under an atrium,
lottery lobby, book corner, a brass-railed high-roller mezzanine up
double-wide grand stairs, and a race paddock out back. Or buy the
BLUEPRINT and paste either building exactly where you want it -
footprint preview, obstruction check that refuses to touch anything
player-made, foundations filled to solid ground, front door facing
you.

**THE QUEST CHAPTER** - a "High Roller" chapter ships straight into
the Coinkeep Ledger: 24 one-shot quests on real casino milestones,
$69,500 across a full clear, capped by the $25,000 High Roller
capstone. The milestones are real advancements - your players get a
whole casino tab.
