It exists for entertainment, variance, and gold sink pressure. Players come here to gamble gold, open chests, and use Daily Cards. ### What Pirate Camp is for Pirate Camp is a safe-zone activity. It does not replace gathering, crafting, or combat. It gives players another way to spend gold between farming runs. Core rules: * all games are **player versus system** * casino bets use **gold only** * bets use **whole numbers only** ### What you can do at Pirate Camp Pirate Camp is home to three high-variance systems: * **Casino**: play Roulette, Blackjack, and Dice * **Chests**: spend gold on reward boxes with rare drop upside * **Daily Cards**: claim one free pick each day or buy extra picks Use Pirate Camp when you want faster variance instead of steady farming. ### Chests Chests let players trade gold for resources, consumables, cosmetics, and rare jackpots. There are three chest tiers: * **Bronze Chest** * **Epic Chest** * **Dragon Chest** Chests are a gold sink with upside. They feel rewarding, but they do not replace normal progression. For drop details, costs, and reward tiers, see [Chests](/cave/chests.md). ### Daily Cards Daily Cards add a small daily reward loop inside Pirate Camp. Each board contains **12 cards**. That means **4 random reward types** with **3 copies each**. Players get **1 free pick every 24 hours**. Players can also buy **extra picks** for **$3 each**. Daily Cards can also award fragments and direct Module Cores. For full rules and reward behavior, see [Daily Cards](/cave/daily-cards.md). For the broader balance role, see [Economy](/cave/economy.md). ### Casino games Pirate Camp includes three games: * **Roulette**: low house edge and simple bets * **Blackjack**: strong RTP with skill-based decisions * **Dice**: highest variance and the worst long-term odds ### RTP and house edge | Game | RTP | House edge | Notes | | --------- | ------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------- | | Roulette | 97.30% | 2.70% | European wheel with a single zero | | Blackjack | 99.5% | 0.5% | Best odds with strong decision-making | | Dice | Varies | Varies | Depends on bet type | RTP means long-term average return. An RTP of 97.3% means players get back about 97.3 gold per 100 gold wagered over time. ### Roulette Roulette uses a European wheel with 37 pockets: * numbers **1 to 36** * one **0** pocket That single zero creates the house edge. #### Roulette bets | Bet type | Payout | RTP | | --------------- | ------ | ------ | | Straight number | 35:1 | 97.30% | | Red or black | 1:1 | 97.30% | | High or low | 1:1 | 97.30% | | Dozen | 2:1 | 97.30% | | Column | 2:1 | 97.30% | Roulette is easy to understand. It is the cleanest option for players who want low-friction gambling with solid odds. ### Blackjack Blackjack offers strong RTP in the casino. It rewards player decisions more than pure luck. #### Blackjack rules | Feature | Rule | | ----------------- | ------------ | | Natural blackjack | 3:2 payout | | Dealer | Hits soft 17 | | Deck model | 1 deck | RTP is **99.5%**. Blackjack remains one of the most skill-driven casino games. ### Dice Dice uses the sum of two six-sided dice. Possible totals range from **2** to **12**. `7` is neither high nor low. High and Low bets lose on `7`. RTP depends on the selected bet. #### Dice distribution | Total | Ways | | ------- | ---- | | 2 or 12 | 1 | | 3 or 11 | 2 | | 4 or 10 | 3 | | 5 or 9 | 4 | | 6 or 8 | 5 | | 7 | 6 | #### Dice bets | Bet | Payout | RTP | House edge | | ------------- | ------ | ------ | ---------- | | High (8–12) | 1:1 | 83.33% | 16.67% | | Low (2–6) | 1:1 | 83.33% | 16.67% | | Exact 2 or 12 | 5:1 | 16.67% | 83.33% | | Exact 3 or 11 | 2:1 | 16.67% | 83.33% | | Exact 4 or 10 | 3:2 | 20.83% | 79.17% | | Exact 5 or 9 | 3:2 | 27.78% | 72.22% | | Exact 6 or 8 | 6:5 | 30.56% | 69.44% | | Exact 7 | 5:6 | 30.56% | 69.44% | ### How Pirate Camp fits the economy Pirate Camp is an intentional gold sink. It removes part of the gold won elsewhere in the game. That helps keep the economy healthier over time. Casino gold usually comes from: * farming and dailies * chest gold drops * player trading profits Casino losses reduce excess gold without blocking progression systems. For the bigger picture, see [Economy](/cave/economy.md). ### When players use it Most players visit Pirate Camp for one of three reasons: * to spend surplus gold * to chase short-term wins * to take a break from farming loops It is optional content. Progression does not depend on casino play. For world placement, see [World](/cave/world.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
