I had this problem in Archeage too. The best way I had of overcoming it was putting the rules clearly on the walls of the casino and using a public dice roll for the result. Business was slow at first, and met with a tonne of skepticism, but after awhile my reputation grew and people focused more on the gambling and less on the scamming. I think the machines may be hard to prove transparent without showing the code (and even then I could use a different code in game). But if someone realises you're scamming the show is over. You got a nice sum but it will be harder to get more. If you have a good reputation and provide a fair gambling arena, people will come. Of course gambling is profitable for the house so I don't see any reason to scam anyone for a short term buck.

My dream is to run a massive casino in a popular safe zone, somewhere like near the Arkship, Initially I'll have to find a way to get currency to fund the casino but after that it's all Neo Vegas

I looked up a LUA tutorial and there is definitely random functionality which is amazing. Even if it can't accept and dispense currency that will give dealers a job!

I'd love if I could create some gambling machines, whether it's a simple "pick a number" game or a roulette wheel or even blackjack. Not only have them function by producing a random number and matching win conditions but also being able to handle accepting and paying out currency.
