Gamba

Gamba is a standalone World of Warcraft addon for running shared gambling roll games during raids, dungeons, guild events, or casual guild downtime.

Players can start a game with a custom gold amount, join through the addon or chat, roll through the UI, and let Gamba track the full result automatically. The addon records winners, losers, ties, rerolls, unpaid debts, paid sessions, win/loss history, and net gold balance.

Gamba works on its own and also communicates with the full iddqd addon, so players using standalone Gamba and players using iddqd can join the same games together.

Mini Window

Gamba includes a compact mini window for players who want a smaller interface during raids or dungeons.

The mini window includes:

Gold amount input
Start / Cancel button
Join / Leave button
Lock In button
Call / Roll prompt button
Dice roll button
Player and roll list
Scroll support when many players join
Button to return to the full window

Open the mini window with:

/gambamini

How It Works

A player starts a Gamba session by choosing a gold amount and pressing Start.

Other players can join through the addon UI or by typing:

1

Players can leave before the game is locked by typing:

-1

When the host presses Lock In!, joined players roll from 1 to the selected gold amount. Gamba tracks the rolls, determines the highest and lowest rollers, and calculates the debt.

The highest roller wins.

The lowest roller owes the gold amount.

If multiple players tie for highest or lowest roll, Gamba handles the reroll process until there is a clean result.

Commands

Open the full Gamba window:

/gamba

Alternative command:

Debt and History Tracking

Gamba keeps a local ledger of your gambling activity, including:

Gold won
Gold lost
Net balance
Open debts
Paid debts
Recent games
Session history
Player totals

Repeated games between the same players are netted together, so instead of showing multiple separate debts, Gamba keeps a single running balance until players settle through trade.

Trade Window Reminder

When you trade another player, Gamba can show a small debt reminder above the trade window.

It displays whether:

You owe that player gold
That player owes you gold
The current trade amount appears to settle the debt

Gamba does not move gold automatically. It only helps track what should be paid.

Standalone and iddqd Compatibility

Gamba can be used as a standalone addon or together with the full iddqd addon.

Players do not all need the same addon package installed. A player using standalone Gamba can play with another player using the full iddqd addon, as long as both have compatible Gamba support.

Optional Settings

Gamba includes several optional settings:

Default gold amount
Preferred channel: Auto, Guild, Raid, Party, or Addon
Addon-only notices
Auto-join
Auto-roll
Account-wide stats
Lobby timeout
Window scale
Sound alerts for new games, wins, and losses

Sound alerts are disabled by default.

Notes

Gamba is intended for guilds and raid communities that enjoy simple roll-based gambling games in World of Warcraft.

The addon does not automate gold trading and does not move gold for players. It tracks games, rolls, results, debts, and payments so players can settle manually in-game.
