In many regions cultures have certain actions deemed taboo or disreputable. In others, they are considered nothing of notice. Gambling is one of those actions, and in some areas it is perfectly legal regardless of what type it is, in others it is strictly regulated and in some it is completely illegal. In areas that gambling is regulated or illegal, there are those that still gamble in secret with types that are illegal, but opening admitting to gambling is seen as confessing to the crime that it is. Let's look at gambling closer and the laws some areas may have regarding it:
Gambling Type (Legality in Area) (Fees and Punishment) (Ratio of Payout) (Minimum Buy-In) (Skill or Chance): Description.
The Legality in Area will be Legal, Regulated, and Illegal. If a Gambling Type is Legal, then there is no fee or punishment for using that action. If Regulated, it is only legal if the establishment advertises it near the entrance, or if it is done in a government building. If Illegal, that Gambling Type will be something the local law enforcement is looking for, and being caught doing it will result in a fee and other penalties potentially. The Fees and Punishment lists the standard legal ramifications of using that Gambling Type, and will specify if even if they are legal or regulated the ramifications of playing where it is not being regulated legally, or the cost of cheating. The Ratio of Payout refers to how much that the Gambling Type returns to those that win within it, having a range of minimum and maximum possible payouts, or list that it is a Pot Payout if it is too difficult to know. The Minimum Buy-In refers to how much one has to spend to start that Gambling Type, and Skill or Chance refers to whether it is a skill that can be leveled in order to get better at it, or if it is chance and only by cheating can one get better results. Cheating is frowned upon in most areas, so even if the Gambling Type is legal, getting caught cheating would have its own fees and punishments.
