EDIT 06/20/2023

As of the same date of this edit, Roblox has officially moved to ban simulated gambling by September 18th, 2023 (in 3 months), which means that all forms of gambling are no longer allowed on the platform. This contrasts the prior stance to which, as long as there was no Robux involved, it could be passable.

The advice in this post is no longer accurate. Please avoid sharing this as an answer. For more information, please see Updating our policy on simulated gambling in the thread Create Experiences for People 17 and Older on Roblox.

I feel this would do justice as a separate post rather than in my feedback post, so here’s another post that’s more directed at this topic. Hopefully I can clear some things up here.

This isn’t completely on topic, just a note, but I want to clear some misconceptions about casinos and gambling before any more speculative posts are brought up that further derail the thread. Hopefully we can get back on track after this.

First off: casinos. If you want these in your game, then Robux cannot be involved at any point. Gambling is permitted only under the condition that Robux is not tied to your machines in any way and there are no exceptions to this. I’ve previously responded to a topic regarding gambling, you can find some discussion as well as the circumstances around gambling here:

Does ROBLOX permit in-game gambling?

(I see someone has already quoted this post above.)

On the topic of chance: you are only required to provide disclosure about the chances of items if you are doing a loot box/gacha/random draw/whatever system and it’s possible to use Robux to pay for them. The difference here is that you’re guaranteed an item, so knowing what the chances are for winning something must be visibly present before the user can buy the item. Another response of mine:

Does ROBLOX permit in-game gambling?

You aren’t able to lose currency from unboxing loot: you are always guaranteed an item. Roblox treats this as a separate case to gambling and has guidelines in place for this as well. In the case of crates, if Robux is involved at any step of the process, you are required to add full percentage disclosure about the rarities or chances of getting items in each box. Akin to gambling as well, there must be no algorithm which skews chance, hence full disclosure. I’ve also made a response to a to…

tl;dr

• Gambling is permitted, but Robux cannot be directly or indirectly involved. You cannot allow Robux purchases for casino machines, nor for game currency to be used on said machines.

• Loot boxes require full chance disclosure if they can be directly or indirectly bought with Robux. This includes purchasing game currency to be able to buy loot boxes.

• If the currency you use for either system can only be earned by playing the game and not bought with Robux, you are in the clear to allow gambling or void chance disclosure.

• Game passes that affect your ability to earn currency by playing the game rather than a direct purchase (eg double coins), to my knowledge, is permitted. At the end of the day, with those, you never purchased currency, only the ability to earn more by completing in game tasks.

With that out of the way, let’s try and discuss less about if this is allowed or not, and more about what the original post is asking for help on.

~I guess the most simple solution is make it so your games are free to play. I.e it costs nothing to spin the reels on a slot machine, it just costs your time. Also saves on coding XD… and if you want some risks involved… do it Like the slot machines in sonic 2’s casino night zone, you either win coins or if you get 3 eggman symbols you get rings stolen and surely this is not gambling under roblox tos as there was no stakes or wager?

Hello again, thanks for all feedback. We’ve decided to make a new currency “tokens” that can ONLY be aquired by winning (playing the game). And those tokens can only be used for all the minigames inside the “casino”. The reward will be the normal currency “coins”. Thanks

I guess if we could go back to the main topic. If you guys have any ideas for casino minigames. Would be appreciated

Here are a few I found online:

1. Slots(quite common and popular)
2. Roulette(quite common and popular)
   3.Blackjack(has to be multiplayer)

However, you have to be careful as gambling is against Roblox’s TOS, so make sure to ask someone trusted before releasing the game.
