House Rules
Casino Verona is for the big boys & girls—18 and up. This ain’t no kiddie joint. It’s a hard R gig, and some of the action’s gonna make your mother blush. Keep your head on straight and don’t test the limits.
Respect the players, respect the House, or get your ass handed to you. Mouth off to the wrong gal or guy, and you’re not just out—you’re done.
Want a Verona Pit Boss for games such as Poker or Blackjack? Fine, call one. But when they lay down the law, that’s it—end of story.
Our crew’s dolled up; gents in slick suits, dames in glitzy getups—looking like a hundred million gil. Stare all you want, but touch ‘em or proposition ‘em, and you’ll be spitting teeth in the Kugane alley.
Keep your yap shut on the /yell and /shout lines—those are for the House only. Same goes for the Verona Card Holder joint: stay out unless your name’s on the list and the big shots say you’re in. Privacy’s gold around here, and we don’t mess with that for nobody.
We keep this place tight—safe for the high rollers, smooth for the staff. Skip out on what you owe, hassle the wrong skirt, or start a ruckus, and you’re gone—swiftly kicked to the curb and blackballed for life. We’ll report you to the boys upstairs if it comes to that. No hesitation.
Games
Honour Your Boldest Desires
Blackjack
An Eorzean classic, this refined pastime challenges patrons to draw a hand surpassing the dealer’s, yet never exceeding 21. A tie yields a gentleman’s ‘push,’ with no gain or loss, while a pristine Blackjack bestows a handsome bonus upon the fortunate victor.
Dealer will Roll /dice 13 twice for Player & once after for Dealer
1~10 is face value; 11, 12, 13 = 10; 1 counts as 1 or 11 on the first two cards, 1 or 10 on the third onwards.
You lose instantly if you hit 22 and above, resulting in a BUST.
A draw results in a PUSH, with no win or loss.
Players can stand on any value; Dealer needs a minimum of 17 to Stand.
You may HIT or STAND as many times as you desire.
SPLITS are available only if you draw two cards of the same face value (e.g., 11 and 11).
In the event of a SPLIT, you’ll double your bet (e.g., bet 1,000,000 Gil; if split, it becomes 2,000,000 Gil).
A natural Blackjack (An Ace and a 10/11/12/13) will result in a 1.5x multiplier for Players & Dealers.
DOUBLE DOWNS are available at twice your bet amount; a DD will result in a one-card draw only.
Minimum bet: 100,000 Gil; maximum bet: 3,000,000 Gil (Regulars), 5,000,000 Gil for VIPs.
State your bet in Party chat, and we will trade after every round. VIPs have the option to start a House Account (Tab).
HI-LO
Three six-sided dice are cast, yielding totals from 3 to 18. Patrons wager on the Fates, favouring the classic ‘Big’ or ‘Small’ stakes. With liberty to place multiple bids, one may tread cautiously or boldly tempt fortune in this elegant game of chance.
An exotic classic akin to the famed "Big Small" or "Sic Bo" of eastern shores.
The patrons will place their bets. The dealer shall record each wager before casting three 🎲 with /dice 6 thrice.
Each patron may place up to three unique bets (tables of fewer than four players) or two unique bets (tables of four or more).
Bet multipliers, you may refer to this image as well.
Small (3-10) or Big (11-18): 1x bet amount
Exact total predicted (3-18): 3x bet amount
Exact doubles predicted (e.g., double 3s): 5x bet amount
Exact triples predicted (e.g., triple 1s): 10x bet amount
Minimum bet: 100,000 Gil; maximum bet: 1,000,000 Gil
Patrons may cast multiple unique bets per round, capped at 2–3 wagers (e.g., 100,000 Gil on Small, 100,000 Gil on double 5s).
Bets shall be traded after each round. VIPs may opt to establish a House Account (Tab).
Love Sick
Patrons stake their fortunes on whether Montague (M) or Capulet (C) shall triumph, each rolling two ten-sided dice. Should the totals align, a ‘Lovesick (L)’ emerges—a tender stalemate. Wagers are cast on M, C, or L, a romantic duel of chance amid Verona’s gilded splendour.
The dealer shall roll /dice 9 twice—first for Montague (M), then for Capulet (C).
Patrons must place wagers on Montague (M), Capulet (C), or a tie, known as Lovesick (L), before the 🎲 are cast.
Victory is declared by the higher roll, be it Montague or Capulet, or a Lovesick draw.
Winning bets yield 1x; a Lovesick wager returns 3x.
Minimum bet: 100,000 Gil; maximum bet: 1,000,000 Gil (Regulars), 3,000,000 Gil for VIPs.
State your bet in party chat, and we shall trade after each round. VIPs may opt to establish a House Account (Tab).
Poker • Texas Hold'em
A high-stakes affair with a grand buy-in, patrons vie to claim the mightiest hand from two drawn cards and five revealed in due course. A thrilling contest of fortune, cunning persuasion, and artful deceit.
The timeless game of poker unfolds within an online browser parlour.
Players shall declare their buy-in to the dealer, who will direct you to procure your stake from a Mannequin (minimum of three players required).
Upon securing your buy-in, the dealer shall usher you into the poker salon via an invitation link.
Enter your IGN to commence the gaieties.
Should any player choose to retire, the dealer shall halt the game and distribute the rightful payouts.
A 10% Service Fee shall be claimed by the dealer upon cashout.
Buy-ins stand at 1,000,000 Gil for low-stakes tables (100 chips) and 5,000,000 Gil for high-stakes tables (500 chips), each chip valued at 10,000 Gil.
Small Blinds are set at 1 and 5, Big Blinds at 2 and 10, for low and high stakes, respectively.
Should demand merge low and high stakes, the blinds shall rise to the high-stakes standard.
Roulette
One of the casino’s most storied treasures, this game invites patrons to wager on the tiles and their fabled properties where a white ball shall rest after the wheel’s grand spin.
Patrons shall declare their number of rolls (maximum 10 per round) and wager per roll.
Players must tender their bets to the dealer and await the signal to commence the whirl.
The dealer shall cast a 🎲 in party chat for each roll.
Winning multipliers: 590–949 yields x2, 950–998 yields x3, and 999 yields x5.
Should any roll land within these fabled ranges, you claim the multiplier tied to that roll.
Minimum bet: 100,000 Gil; maximum bet: 500,000 Gil (Regulars), 1,000,000 Gil for VIPs. Bets are per roll.
State your wager in party chat, and we shall trade after each round.

Chocobo Racing
Four fellas from Verona race their chocobos inside a ward or designated area, with three "flags" marking first, second, and third place. The first racer to nab their flag takes the medal. Patrons wager 10 tickets on the racer they reckon will come out on top.
When the chocobo races are trumpeted, a keeper rolls out the bets and odds for each racer. If it’s their first go, the racer’s odds are reckoned as one share of all the contenders in the running.
Patrons lay their wagers on the racers they fancy will take the prize, staking up to 10 tickets per racer, each ticket pegged at 250,000 Gil.
The chocobo racers gear up and tear down the track, with patrons free to gawk from the stands.
Any wise guy in the crowd trying to meddle with the race gets the expulsion from the joint, and in hotter water, a permanent blacklist.
The winner’s crowned, and the haul of payouts is tallied up and doled out.
The dough raked in is a multiplier tied to the racer’s shot at glory over their rivals (say, a bird with a 25% chance to win pays out 4x).

Pixel Valiant
"I deal in luck, pleasure, and very bad ideas... which one are you here for tonight?"
Biography
Pixel arrived in Casino Verona by pure accident—a wide-eyed Elf who had never so much as rolled dice before stumbling into the casino’s luxurious halls. She took a job as a dealer to earn extra cash, but stayed because she became captivated by the thrill in high rollers’ eyes when they risked it all.To the pit bosses’ horror, she sweet-talked her way into the position despite not knowing a straight from a flush. At first, cards fumbled from her hands, chips scattered like confetti, and a few sharp-eyed gamblers “accidentally” claimed extra winnings at her table.Now, she reigns as the casino’s most mischievous host—the one High Rollers request when they want to debate whether love is a better gamble than roulette over glasses of Verona Vesper. “Risk is romance,” she’ll purr while stacking chips with deliberate imprecision.
Personality
Playfully chaotic yet deeply compassionate, Pixel thrives on the thrill of the game—but what truly captivates her are the people behind the bets. More than anything, she possesses a rare gift: the ability to listen, truly listen, to those who need it.

Here, he becomes something else—your devoted host, your midnight confidant, your lucky charm with a wicked smile.Whether his warmth is real or part of the act is a gamble all its own. But for one night? He’ll make you feel like fortune itself brought him to your table.
Personality
Merlin aims to please everyone he meets, effortlessly charming with every word. A smooth talker with a silver tongue, he knows exactly what to say, and when to say it—to leave a lasting impression.
Interests
Midnight coffee and the right company to share it with.
