Blackjack Dealer

Description
After thinking about ways to motivate me to visit stations more, I came up with the idea for this new npc minigame. I got the idea from seeing how Ubisoft often adds stuff like poker and chess to fill their open world games. However, I couldn't think of a way to make a game that advanced, so I settled for a simplified version of blackjack, similar to the one from Super Mario RPG.

The blackjack dealer npc always spawns on one of the bar / entertainment docks of every station. I limited interaction for the npc so you can only speak with them in person. (I don't think gambling over video conference would make sense.) When you speak to the npc there will be a option to "Play Blackjack" with a random minimum bet of 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 credits. Selecting this option will open the money transfer menu where you can bet any amount as long as it's higher than the minimum.

Most of regular blackjack's rules apply in this version, but the only choices you have are to "Hit / Draw" or "Stand / Stay". The objective is the same in that you want to have the highest value hand without exceeding 21. Dealer wins if both hands end with the same value. The dealer and player can win on the first turn if either have "Blackjack", but the dealer wins if they both have it.

Going to give it a try. I've always just sat near the music players to entertain myself while hanging about in stations, this should be able to replace that, and provide entertainment at the same time.

Just wish they had Capital ships where you could gamble on, like Casino Ships.
Playing a few Card Games, slot machines and stuff like that would be fun.

I think integrating retro games into X Rebirth would be one hell of an advanced modding job. I really don't think it's possible for the game engine to emulate a console. It would be really cool to play a Mario 3 ROM in X Rebirth but that's one I can guarantee won't ever happen, haha.

That would be cool, but it's beyond my capability.

Now there was an opportunity to play in the arcade at the slot machines , which stand at the stations . integrate , for example emulator Sega Mega Drive and insert a couple of games ... Streets of Rage or Sonic the Hedgehog)))

Ok, I'll add a limit to the dealer.

hey this is great idea for a mod ... but can i make a suggestion to make it more lore friendly and less cheat when faild to winn - because for now players can just save before every bet and if loss just reupload.
but if you limit the mount of cash that every black jack deales have on every station like 100.000 or what ever.any way good mod keep up and tnx :)
