I had this idea a couple weeks back..gambling with ISK$$ or AUR$$ in stations or regions/nations where allowed.
Ideas for the types of card game could be maybe...Gallente Hold'em (Texas Hold'em), Minmatar Jack (BlackJack) and so on...i thought this would be an awesome way to keep players occupied while they're doing things like PI or messing with their POSs' and so on.
Regards to GM Tiny for pointing out where i should inquire about this idea.

Have you heard of EOH (Eve Online Hold'em) or such sites? They already let you gamble with ISK.

Yea i have, but actually shoving it into EVE online would be cooler because they could restrict it in certain areas, make better cash for the people who get slaughtered nd loose all their money cus they have to buy a plex (which is making CCP awesome face-stuffings of cash).Plus if you're one of the pirate types you could find them after the game and blast them....either way CCP gets a cut of the money minus the cost of programming it into the game.
Better for In-Game mechanics i think too.

I think this was one of the intended features for WiS too, one of the only ones I ever really had an interest in. If you go to your wallet and open the "ref. type" drop down box they even added mini game payouts and buy-ins to the wallet.

I'm not sure what the fate of it is going to be since they axed most of the WiS staff though. Plus knowing Eve I imagine most of the time you'd just be playing poker against one guy and his seven alts, lol.

But yeah, EOH is awesome, link is here if you're interested gray.
