Casino Wars
Casino Wars was a game made by Joshua Story. You could join one of two teams (Pink and Blue) and then you would try to gain more money than the other team. The results were counted at the end of each month. Sadly, Casino Wars is no longer available to play since the game was hosted by NSA's FirstClass server. Nonetheless, it will remain in the memory of many NSAers. Here is a description of the game and its updates written by its creator, Joshua Story, and Chandler Nelson.
V 1.0[edit | edit source]
There are 4 original games you can play.
- Slots- You email the folder. If you win, you gain 5 dollars. Probability: 1/3 of the time you get $5, the rest you get $0.
- Roulette- You email the folder with the subject a number. If you win, you gain 300 dollars. Probability: 1/18 of the time you get $300, the rest you get $0.
- Jackpot- You email the folder. If you win, you gain 2,500 dollars. Probability: ???, however, like slots, you either win $2,500, or gain $0
- Dollarama- You email the folder. If you win, you gain 1 dollars. However, there is a twist. If you are very lucky, your team gains $10,000 Probability: 999/1000 of the time you get $1, the rest you get $10,000. ( This was updated. It used to be a chance to get a 1,000 dollar penalty)
V. 1.2[edit | edit source]
A fifth game has been added: Canasta. It is similar to roulette. You must pick a suit and a value of a card (A, 2,3, 4). You must then type in the subject bar the first letter of the suit and the value. (e.g. Heart of 4's is H4, Ace of Clubs is CA) You get 100 bucks if you guess right, otherwise you gain nothing. Probability: 1/16 to get $100, otherwise $0.
Now, there are upgrades. And a new game called blackjack. You need to use gems to buy them. You get gems every 10,000 dollars your team earns
Blackjack: 4 cards are randomly chosen. You chose one card at a time. The game ends when you stop or you go over. 16-20 wins the game, while you bust over 21. There is a planned update for a 21 to be a bonus, instead of the average $50.
Odds: I will just trust Josh on this one. Right now, about 1/8 to get 50 bucks, rest is nothing.
Version 1.3 added Gold Rush to the store. Gold Rush is the same as Jackpot, except with a $10,000 dollar prize. Odds are 1/300 to win $1,000, the rest of the time is $0.
I am too lazy to post upgrades. So, here is a link to the upgrades.

There are other things to mention:
Remember to play in your team's folder. You play in your opponent's, and you win, Guess What? They get the money on their team.
There is a MVP per team. This should be right next to the money.
There is a tally. It states the number of dollars earned by each team. The color of the folder shows who is winning.
