== | === Debt === | ||
=== | When the player runs out of money as a result of gambling by having $0, the player can "borrow" money from the casino when playing at a casino table (an amount of borrowed money corresponds with the player's wager on the table), leading to a negative money value. The amount allowed to borrow is based in how high the gambling skill is; the higher the skill the more is allowed to borrow. Borrowing money puts the player in "debt", resulting in the player receiving phone calls from the loaner about returning their money once the player leaves a casino. | ||
If the player fails to repay their debt after a significant amount of time, the player will be persistently attacked by four [[Pump Action Shotgun|shotgun]]s and [[M16|M4]]s-armed gunmen in a [[Sentinel]] whenever they are in Las Venturas, until they repay their debt. | |||
