    I would enjoy blackjack as one of the tavern table games. Perhaps the 'house tavern' would have some slight variability of options on the house rules, such as blackjack paying 2:1 or 3:2 to make the game different in different taverns and encourage travel.

    I would also like slot machines. Again, allowing the 'house tavern' to vary the payout, perhaps setting the payout average anywhere from 75% - 95% of the amount bet over time.

    In Commercial Nodes you might allow the 'house tavern' to be even more greedy, to mimic places like Vegas.

    Since I have some experience in this field, I'd like to share a few recommendations on how to succeed at gambling, but first, let me recommend a gambling site. If you want to try gambling for bitcoins, check it out: http://lambo2btc.com/stellarcasino.
    Now, as you know an excellent gambling site, make sure you follow these rules:
    - you shouldn't consider gambling as a business; it is just a game.
    - choose the gambling site where you can get free sign-up bonuses.
    - if you don't enjoy the process, then you should give up gambling.

    This is the number 1 reason to separate tavern games in ashes from irl gambling as much as possible. Not only would it be less immersive, there are a number of ways it can negatively effect users with vulnerable psycology. That isn't really the problem either though. This person leading them elsewhere is.

    Its an easily mitigated problem if you just make giving websites in game difficult (probably already planned) and make the tavern games as Verra feeling as possible to lower the chances of it 'building confidence in gambling ability' or triggering the addictive psychology modern faces are designed to amplify and exploit. This obviously doesn't solve or make the situation impossible. The point is they would be good faith measures to detter most situations from developing into a real problem down the road.

    All mildly irrelevant of course as I am pretty sure Stephen is too much of a nerd to not want his own fantasy tavern games being the star of the show tavern game wise given the recent q&a.

    This post kind of reads like an add for the linked website.

    Poker and Blackjack are fun games. There should be a way to protect yourself legally while having these card games in the video game, like Red Dead Redemption 2, which has multiplayer poker with other people in an online game world. As long as it's fake money that you cannot purchase with real money in the game, give a warning about gambling addiction and the harmful effects, and it should be fine. Personal request here, but i would like to see a gambling table immersive in the game's world, and make sure that the kiddies who will inevitability play this game, understand what they are about to partake in when joining it.
