Gambling kit

Gambling kits are highly scripted containers that come with a variety of unlock options, some of which are not necessarily linear in nature. The gambling kit originated with the merchant Gostahl who owned the Albatross gambling boat. Locked gambling kits are still sold on the boat in the Albatross Gift Shop for silvers while gambling kit with varying unlocks are sold at Duskruin in Gamac's Goods. Gambling kits at their core have a total of three tiers, starting at Tier 0, corresponding to Locked, Partially Unlocked, and Fully Unlocked according to their analyze information. Beyond that, "special features" references a variety of gambling games that can be played with a gambling kit, and is essentially a Tier 3 unlock. In addition, some gambling kits can hold varying amounts of coins inside them weightlessly. Prior to their availability at Duskruin, both "special features" and weightless coin storage were considered "auction" unlocks, however both are now substantially more accessible. Fully unlocked "auction level" kits have been released that hold 50,000 silvers with two games, and other kits exist that hold various silver quantities in between, some have even been released as spell knowledge items with various spells. Some of the games that might be installed on a gambling kit include Roulette and Adventure Wheel. Tier 2 Gambling kits can unfold into a table that can be placed on the ground. This table can be customized by a merchant. Tier 0/Locked Off the shelf verbs include CLOSE and OPEN. The kit cannot be placed on the ground nor changed into a table. In its current state, it can not hold any silvers, and does not have any games. It has special messaging for placing certain types of items inside or retrieving them.
