A news report reveals that a being called “Omega” has established a new Casino in the United States to help find his next test subject(s) for a torture simulations. Here’s how it works:
The Casino has a large number of Roulette Wheels, and a large amount a standard 2-star hotel amenities, such as Food, Rooms, etc.
Humans can either agree to play as the “Casino”, or as the “Player”, in a series of Martingale bets. For the purposes of these bets:
Humans must agree to use a Martingale Betting system, but they can stop at any time.
Humans can only play against other Humans. If no Human is willing to act as the “Casino” or the “Player” for you at your betting level, you can’t make bets.
Omega is supplying effectively infinite lines of non transferable credit which can be used in the Casino for Martingale Bets, for amenities, and for teleportation directly to the casino.
Omega remembers your betting level as a Player or as a Casino, also. You can’t choose make an official Omega infinite credit line bet at a different level, although you may side bet however you want with whoever you want, and you may switch between being a Player or a Casino whenever you want. (Both betting levels are tracked seperately.)
Anyone who attempts to leave the Casino while in debt to Omega, to attack the Casino/it’s patrons/steal either of their money for any reason, or to physically block(arguing someone into not going is fine.) people from entering the casino, or to force people to enter the casino, will seamlessly uploaded and be subjected to a torture simulation where they are stuck in a prison with no human contact until they die, then they are revived again, with memories of the previous death, to starve to death again, until Omega determines they have “Gone sufficiently insane.” They will then be redownloaded into their body.
From an outside perspective this effect is unnoticeable, the person just goes insane. This has already happened to 10 people: 9 have gone full on catatonic, one of those continuously mumbling “It’s not real.” The tenth person yelled “I’m not starving again, never again!” and commited suicide by gun.
Hundreds of people have already made millions of dollars in gold coins.
Hundred of other people are trapped inside the Casino with large debts, some of more than 10 million dollars, refusing to leave or play other people (or other people are refusing to play them) and slowly increasing their debt by using amenities. Not all of these people are unhappy. One person outright says “I was starving anyway. It’s better than being homeless!”
And more people are currently still deciding every day to visit the casino and try their luck, both as “Casino” and “Player” bettors. (You can teleport in from anywhere on the planet, after all. Some people are paying Omega just for the Novelty of teleporting to Vegas.)
Any time the Casino fills up, Omega takes a minute to add another floor. Omega is currently at a 14 floor casino. Omega has also already promised and shown his ability to change his payment method from Gold coins to another system if Gold Coins stops being convenient. At least one person is already attempting to win enough money to find out what that alternate payment method is.
What do you do?
For instance, people might try to convince two trapped people that if they play for a while, one of them can leave.
Or they might decide to play themselves.
Or they might try to convince people to stop going.
Or they might try to figure out how to make money by exploiting the ability that anyone can make one way teleports to (not from) Vegas at approximately 100 dollars a pop.
I’ve come up with a possible concept:
