Game room/game table

Fame = 39
Game room with a game table that has chairs, have a croupier. Nobody seems to be gambling though. The table is right in the middle of the room with no blockages. Nobody seems to be gambling (sandbox). Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

Do you have a staff member that runs games? I forget the name but it is the category farthest on the right.

I have almost the same problem, very rarely does someone come by. You don't get rich. Hardly covers the expenses.

The tables don't really seem to work for me either.

I have 3 tables and they are never staffed, although I have 3 guys set to only "gamble", 2 set to gamble and entertain and a few set to do everything on the list.

I've tried advertising several "times" in a row for gaming, etc.


Once in a blue moon, somebody will sit at the table, but I've never seen an employee use it.


A this point, I wont even be wasting a tiny 4x4 space, for "gaming".

The winter patch changed how gambling works completely, and didn't completely fix it either. You no longer need a croupier present for people to gamble. The croupier is simply supposed to visit the table from time to time to collect winnings.

Players will play when there are two or more players seated at a table. For this reason it is best to have a single table with max seating, rather then several tables. Unless your game room is super busy several tables will simply spread your players out. Having 3 players sitting alone at 3 tables is useless, as no one is playing.

You will need to advertise to gain players. There are simply not enough patrons who walk in the door with a gambling need to keep a gambling table all that busy. Catering to nobles or outlaws will also help, they like to gamble more then the other factions. Conversely the distressed seems to have almost no desire to gamble.

With enough time and advertising you can eventually build up enough regulars to keep several tables busy, but it wont happen automatically, it takes time and investment. Unfortunately with the winter patch the tables generate a fraction of what they used to, it is debatable if is all work the effort.

Thanks for the tip @wantoomany. It must be the advertising. In all honesty stopped playing the game because of the bugs for now.
