🎲 Casino Venue

Make sure you have the up to date version of the Universal Venue List, you can download it from this post.

Change the Lot Type of any venue in your game to the Casino Venue. Make sure to add all the required objects to the venue in order for it to function.

Once you have sorted out your venue you can visit it with any player and try your luck in the various games on site.

💰 Chips Converter Machine

The first thing you want to do before playing Black Jack, Roulette or Slots is to convert some Simoleons to Chips. To do that, click on the Chips Converter Machine and select Trade Chips.

Acquiring 100 Chips will cost you 1000 Simoleons.

When you are in the middle of a gambling session you can click on the Chips Converter Machine and select Check Chips Count to see how many chips your Sim has left.

Whenever you are done playing and you want to cash out, click on the Chips Converter Machine again and select Withdraw Simoleons.

🃏 Black Jack

Go to buy mode and search for Black Jack Table - place it in your casino venue.

Black Jack Rules
Before the dealing begins, each player places a bet in chips.

Card Values/Scoring:
An ace can be worth 1 or 11, this will always be in favor of the player. Face cards are worth 10 and any other card is its pip value.

The Game:
The player(s) attempts to beat the dealer by getting a count as close to 21 as possible, without going over 21.

You can also click the Black Jack Table and select Rules to read up on the rules in-game.

How To Use the Table
Make sure there is a dealer behind the table first and foremost. If there is not a dealer present you can click on the table and select Hire Dealer.

Once the dealer is in place, click on the table and select Play Blackjack.

You will get several prompts in terms of betting, staying or trying your luck with more cards. At the end of the round you will either win back double of what you bet or lose your bet depending on the outcome of the round.

🍀 Roulette

Go to buy mode and search for Roulette Table - place it in your casino venue.

Roulette Rules
First you choose the amount of chips you want to bet. Then you choose whether or not you want to place your bet on a number or a color.

Color:
You can choose to place your bet on red or black. If the ball lands on the color you placed your bet on you will get a payout that is double your bet.

Number:
You can choose to place your bet on a number between 1 and 37. If the ball lands on the number you placed your bet on you will get a payout that is your 37x your bet.

You can also click the Roulette Table and select Rules to read up on the rules in-game.

How To Use the Table
Make sure there is a dealer behind the table first and foremost. If there is not a dealer present you can click on the table and select Hire Dealer.

Once the dealer is in place, click on the table and select Play Roulette.

You will get several prompts in terms of betting, what to bet on, etc. At the end of the round you will either win or lose chips depending on your bet and the outcome of the round.

🎰 Slots Machine

Go to buy mode and search for Slots Machine - place it in your casino venue.

You can click the Slots Machine and select Rules to read up on the rules in-game.

How To Use the Slots Machine
First you choose the amount of chips you want to feed into the machine. Each time you roll the wheels it costs 5 chips, which equals 50 Simoleons.

Each time you win the Chips you win will go straight to your Sim, while the Chips you fed into the Machine will stay in the machine until you are either all out of Chips or you stop playing.

Once you stop playing, the remaining chips in the machine will go straight to your Sim.

💊 Basemental Drugs Integration

Gambling Addiction
As long as you have an up-to-date version of Basemental Drugs installed, this feature will function immediately.

Any Sim can get addicted to gambling. They will first get a pre-addiction buff that lets you know that they are really into gambling. If they stop gambling and wait until that buff runs out they won't get addicted.

If they keep on playing they will eventually get addicted to gambling, though. I am sure you are all familiar with how addiction works with Basemental Drugs, and this is based on that same system so I am not gonna go too in-depth on that here.

Gambling Addicts Support Group
This works more or less like the Addicts Anonymous feature in Basemental Drugs, but it is not a skill. Think of it more as a tool to get your Sims get rid of their addiction faster.

You can find the Gambling Support Group under the Travel tab on your Sims phone.

There are no Sponsees that will call your Sim up, but your Sim can attend meetings to help them through their gambling craving.

Compatibility to Come
The next release of Basemental Drugs will include a functionality for legalizing gambling on a region by region basis, very much the same way you can legalize Cannabis now.

🔪 Basemental Gangs Integration

Integration to Come
The main reason I started working on this mod was because of Basemental Gangs, as I really want to have illegal gambling as a potential racket for gangs.

Once the next release of Basemental Drugs is out with the legalizing and criminalizing gambling on a region by region basis, I can properly start working on this with Basemental Gangs.

I am sure it will bring a new level of depth to running gangs, along with the other things I have in store for that mod.

Venue List

To make sure this mod works you need to download the updated Basemental Universal Venue list provided in this post. I recommend installing this venue list in a separate folder directly in your Mods folder called: Basemental Venue List. I also recommend updating it whenever there is a new mod version out as I constantly add in new custom venue compatibility from other mod authors.
