| In each act, one NPC in town will allow you to Gamble. Once you have selected Gamble you will see an inventory of items. These items will not be identified, and they will be offered at different prices. Select an item of a type you want to buy. Buy it. The item will then be automatically identified and you will see the item's statistics. Items generated for the gamble stock are -5 through +4 levels of your character's level with a minimum item level of 5. Note, this does not apply to level requirements often seen on items also known as required level. This applies only to the item level. This item level is never seen by the player in game and is used primarily in formulae that choose what affixes an item can get. Ancient armor has a quality level of 40, which means you can see it in the gambling screen at level 35. You will see it more often in the gambling screen when you are level 44 because at this point, you will always meet the required level. Look at the bottom of this page for a list of base items and their proper quality levels. Certain items have a high quality level associated to them, when this occurs it is possible to attain higher level affixes. An example of this is the Diadem with a quality level of 85. In this case, you can receive higher level affixes even if you are at a low character level. |

The items you receive will be from most common, to most rare: Magic Items, Rare, Sets, Uniques. Set and Unique Items are extremely rare. The chance for Uniques is 1 in 2,000 (0.05%) and 1 in 1,000 (0.10%) for Sets. The chance for Rares is 1 in 10 (10%). Magic Items are 1/~1.1 (89.85%).
In fact, not only does legalization make the money stay in the United States, it also sends a big chunk of it to the states' budgets. A study conducted by the people from Oxford University a few years ago suggested that legalization of sports betting would possibly bring as much as 14 billion dollars to the GDP of the United States.
- Technology has been quietly transforming the world of sports for years, with investment in areas like esports continuing to rise, surpassing a total of $2.5 billion in VC funding in 2018 —.
- Internet gambling is a multi-billion dollar market and criminal activity may occur when using the net to gamble (keep in mind that internet gambling is illegal). Furthermore, virtually no government authority regulates online gambling. Lack of central regulation gives rise to the spread of illegal practices and an unfair use of resources.
The level of quality of the items will be from most common to, most rare: Normal, Exceptional, Elite. The chance for the other types of items is:
Exceptional:pV = max{0%, (ilvl − qlvlV) * 0.9% + 1%}Elite:pE = max{0%, (ilvl − qlvlE) * 0.33% + 1%}pE/pV = probability
ilvl = clvl (-5 to +4)
qlvl = quality-lvl of base item to be generated (i.e. 33 for Demonhide gloves)
- You will mostly get Magic items which may or may not be worth anything to you (hence Gambling).
- You can Gamble Set or Unique Items and have the chance to Gamble Exceptional and Elite items as well. Gambling Items appear as Normal Items and can only be revealed as Exceptional or Elite Items after you buy them.
- Gambling gives you a place to spend your money on the higher difficulty levels (Nightmare, Hell), and gives you a better chance at getting good Rare and if you're lucky, Set and Unique Exceptional and Elite items that you are looking for. You can also get rare rings and amulets from Gambling which can be more difficult to find from monsters.
- Buying all of the items on one screen doesn't help to improve your chances any more than buying them one at a time per screen.
- Items are created when you hit the Gamble button on the NPC menu.
- You can reset the Gambling menu by exiting the screen, then by clicking on Gamble again. You can continue to do this rapidly until you get the specific type of item you're looking for.
- Once you've unlocked all the item types at level 48, the items shown will be the same from then on. However, as you reach higher Character Levels, more Magic Prefixes and Suffixes will show up on items Gambled and you'll have a better chance to get Exceptional and Elite items.
- The price for Gambling each item goes up as your character level goes up.
- Magic Find in no way affects Gambling.
Pick up valuable items to sell to the Vendors. You may have to try out each item type to discover if it is worth something. Generally Magic Items are worth more than non-Magical Items.
You can also sell items to other players to generate money. Since the majority of people like to trade items for other items, many players have large amounts of cash (those who don't Gamble) they may be willing to use to buy your items. Sell armor for imbuing, and just about any other non Unique, non ultra important item to other players for Gambling money. Selling items to other players is even more appealing since the Vendors will only pay a maximum of 35,000 Gold for an item.
You can also kill players for money for Gambling but we won't talk about that here =)
Can I tell if an item will be Exceptional or Elite by its appearance on the Gambling screen?
In most cases no, however, you can tell with Coronet vs. Circlets.
Will Items that give a better chance of finding magic items have an effect on your chances at Gambling?
No.
Does the number of players in the game, the Act or Difficulty Level have any effect on the items you get from Gambling?
No, only level of character.

Base Item Levels
The quality level of an item comes into play in gambling. You will not see these items on the Gambling screen until your character level is +5 levels/-4 levels of the item's quality level requirement. This information is valuable to figure out when you'll be able to gamble for certain items.

How Does Technology Affect Gambling Addiction
Technological advances from just a few years ago have changed life as we knew it and things are likely to become even easier in time to come.Gone are the days when one needed to walk into a physical establishment to have a go at casino games. Amid all of the improvements technology has introduced to everyday life over a relatively short span of time, we are still on the brink of even more evolution.Online gambling has certainly benefited from the many developments taking place in the world of cyber tech. And it's astounding to even think of how far things can go from the point we are already at. One of the biggest factors that will move things along in that regard is Artificial Intelligence. AI has already reached a level that allows it to beat human beings by simply knowing the rules of whatever game they're playing and it's actually quite scary when one considers the exponential growth afoot in that particular field.Where online casinos are concerned, AI has the capacity to detect and block illegal sites, find cheaters, and customize the experience for users. Of course, players will always have a way of making it work in their favor on other fronts.Virtual Reality has also moved leaps and bounds over the last few years and what we see now could perhaps be considered primitive in the future. The advent has already seen VR casinos come to the fore, with users now able to walk around a 3-Dimensional casino and participate in games of their choice. We can expect to see entire casino resorts come to VR soon enough and the user experience doesn't have to be restricted to gambling, with concerts and other feature items also a possibility. Players will likely be able to interact with other users in the form of avatars and it would be like they're in a very real casino. Who knows? VR could become the standard for online gambling in the future. But mobile outlets aren't likely to go anywhere, we just have to wait and see.Another revolutionary turn as it pertains to the internet world is blockchain tech. The term is becoming more and more popular and, synonymous with the Bitcoin frenzy waning, people are beginning to understand just how big of a thing this could be.The development could make it so that users would never need to deposit funds at a virtual casino, and transactions could happen at the same speed of a button being pressed. This means instant payouts and games that could be verified on the spot, which is a great way of removing cheaters.Of the three technologies mentioned, blockchain is perhaps the one likely to impact online gambling the quickest. AI and VR may have years to go before their full capabilities are unleashed but blockchain is already making waves, and not just in the gambling industry.PayPal posted a job opening for its new blockchain research group earlier this month, with the online payment company apparently keen on keeping abreast.'The blockchain research group (BRG) is a newly formed group within the Strategic Technology Enablement team chartered with establishing expertise and opinions on emerging blockchain technologies and their potential uses within PayPal,' the posting reads.'As a research function, the BRG will seek to understand the current and near-future state of blockchain technologies, their relative advantages and disadvantages, and their applicability to PayPal's core and adjacent businesses. BRG team members will be expected to gain hands-on knowledge of various blockchain technologies and toolchains and to create clear, timely, and well-researched documentation that expresses a point of view or suggested course of action suitable for presentation to senior management, to board members, partners, or the public.'Technology will undoubtedly continue to have a huge impact on the industry and, could possibly assist with environmental concerns. As it stands, online gambling is already having a positive effect in that regard; technology will only help it along.
