You don’t want to accidentally start an addiction.
Well, you can just make up some sort of name of your own custom-made cash, and then use it for your game
As someone who personally grew up with a slot machine in my house hold but doesn’t have a gambling addiction, it’s probably safe and really up to the user how they feel about gambling in the end.
I’ve played many games with “gambling” such as My Restaurant’s slot machine, and like @chadnome77 said games with cases. They’ve never given me an addiction or anyone I know an addiction.

I believe gambling is allowed as long as you tell the percentage of the chance you get an item. For example, all pet games, when you open a box/chest/creat, may say 50% common 20% uncommon 5% godly.
However, as stated recently, you cannot gamble ROBUX or real-life money.
EDIT: Actually, I’ve seen some games that gamble without telling you a precentage. Maybe you can gambl, just as long as you do not use real-life money. I’d have to look at the ToS.
Alrighty. I looked it up. You cannot have ROBUX LINKED to the in-game money spend gambling. So if players can buy coins then you are NOT allowed to use those coins to gamble. However, if you can ONLY EARN These coins then yes, you can gamble them without telling the percentage of winning.

Gambling isn’t allowed? 
What’s that my restaurant?
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.
Sigh. I knew there would be misinformation and logical fallacies on a gambling thread.
Gambling is allowed if Robux isn’t involved. Case systems and pet givers are a different topic altogether which adhere to a different policy, the virtual random items policy. Don’t blur the two policies together, because you’re going to be in trouble with moderation if you don’t adhere to the proper policies.
Please do your research before you make untrue assertions about the nature of this activity on Roblox. That goes for OP as well - loot boxes are not under the same restrictions as outright gambling.
Let’s get back on track now with addressing the actual thread rather than debating whether it is or isn’t allowed. Given you follow the expectations set out, the activity is not outlawed.

Gambling is allowed with robux such as crates etc if the odds of winning are clearly stated before purchasing it.
Please read posts above your own before replying. I just said not to blur the two policies. Gambling and loot crates adhere to two different policies. They aren’t interchangeable and they set different standards for each mechanic that need to be followed.
Gambling is NOT allowed if you have Robux attached to it in any way. Lootboxes ARE allowed, however if there is Robux involved you must disclose percentage chances of winning items.

that is misinformation, in pure ToS terms, you are allowed to have gambling, as long as said gambling does not involve robux or real money in any way shape or form
Stop. Please read the posts above.

I’d say that even if you don’t use robux or even if you use in game cash I don’t think you should do it, kids will think It’s fine gambling in real life because they did it in Roblox. Promoting casinos and all of that isn’t really the best thing to do on a game mostly full of kids.

I think OP pointed this out earlier, that’s like saying kids will play jailbreak and think stealing is fine in real life. Jailbreak is technically promoting robbing.
If i have an ingame currency that you can buy for ROBUX/earn by playing, and you use that currency to buy casino tickets, Am i allowed to add gambling, The tickets can easily be bought by just playing.
They’re more comparable to trading card booster packs, because you always get something of value.
I apologise I thought they were classed as the same thing. Sorry again
No, because this is an indirect purchase of the casino tickets with Robux. The game currency cannot be at all purchasable directly or indirectly with Robux, otherwise you risk the chance of following into disallowed regions of the gambling policy.
If you have game currency that can purchase casino tickets, it cannot be purchased by another currency which can also be purchased with Robux: it must be earnable through playing the game only.
