Um, the only thing worse than a Casino with a 66.6% house advantage is
one whose odds are in the Player's favor. As soon as the Casino opened,
someone could buy several Leprechauns and squeeze them. The odds of
winning go up significantly with each Leprechaun:

Luck   Odds
----  -----
   0  50.0%
   1  52.8%
   2  58.0%
   3  65.3%
   4  73.9%
   5  83.0%
   6  91.3%
   7  96.2%
   8  98.6%
   9  99.7%
  10   100%

So as soon as the Casino opened, the Gremlin Fund would be milked for
all it's worth. The cost of Leprechauns is cheap compared to the payoff.
The only redeeming thing about this situation is that it is limited by
the Gremlin Fund, so it's not an outright win-the-game point scam like
Recycling.

-The other redeeming thing about this is that all of those Leprechauns come 
from the fine folks over at vSOI. Hey, I can buy a few Gnomes, make my 
points back, then be refunded when the Account hits 100. I like it... Maybe 
we should all vote for the "score increase < 200 per nweek" prop...-
