New Venue and Premium Content: The Lucky Simoleon Casino!

[xFezIsAFreakx]

Oh yes, a new world!! Hmm.. *counts number of worlds* All the current EA ones plus UC and the Curtis Paradis one coming in December.. Then this.. Boom, all ten worlds that the Dreamers shall visit.

This aquarium/whatever had better not be a rabbit hole! How awesome would it be if we actually got to see the animals with the sims. Ooh this has made me realise TS3 doesn't have a zoo yet! Totally should have came with Pets.

It's not a real stretch to see this as a casino really. Theres plenty of underwater themed casinos out there (some give out lots of money!)

On the Launcher there's a feature on it now, it's called The Lucky Simoleon so I think it's a casino.

The set is 1900 Simpoints normally but right now it's on sale for 1600 until June 14th.  Premium items not available for individual purchase yet.  The store is having trouble right now probably because of everyone trying to view it before it's properly linked in the store.

Oooh, I stand corrected! I'm not sure, it looks cool, but I'm not overly excited for it. Not really something I'll be rushing to buy. But it does look super awesome, it kind of reminds me of Lunar Lakes in the way it's been designed on the outside.

Hmm, not that bothered by it. To be honest it seems lacking to me. I'm a bit confused by that rumour that EA put out about the new Premium Content being related to the "Sun, Surf and Sand" set. Unless the link is that it's the lifestyle of the rich and famous or something.

In my teenage days I was a casino game addict who would plan my eventual vacation to Las Vegas to lose everything at the blackjack table so this set excites me a lot.

I find it hilarious to see now it is a casino and then the first post of Fez is where she is guessing it may be Sea World.

I wasn't the only one who thought it was an aquarium!

I am downloading this now, it looks awesome! The last few sets from the Store haven't interested me much at all, but this makes up for that. I'm actually quite excited to have this in my game

EA has been releasing monthly sets twice a month now.  So this doesn't mean that the next half of this month won't go along with the Sun, Surf and Sand set.   Or it was just rumors because it was on sale as soon as it started getting warm outdoors in the US.

I think this is going to be the perfect way for Artie to spend his money.

[Pam]

No question for me!  I love casinos, so I'm downloading this now.

SimsVIP has found that there is additional functionality with this set.   Apparently there is going to be a wishing well coming to the Sims 3 Store.

Here is the picture that you can find on SimsVIP:

After playing with the Casino for an hour or so, I am extremely happy.

The actual gambling is done via two Premium Content items, the slot machine and the automatic Blackjack table. My sim made about 20,000 in one day from alternating between the two!   There are some adorable animations, and some new moodlets as well.

Gambling counts as a new skill, and shows up in the journal so you can keep track of how much your sim has won or lost. It works pretty much the same as any other skill, with 10 levels. There are no skill challenges for gambling though.

The only downside is that the lot is 60x60, so may be a bit tricky to fit into your town.

It shows up in the skill journal, too? Oh, and 20,000? Woot! I was actually going to wait a little while before getting it, but I seriously can't wait to try the new items! I am so getting this casino thing!
