To Andy:
If the outcome is decided before you "play" that is a textbook definition of rigged.
The INTENT is obvious since the player has NO CHOICE in the tavern.
Three Card Monty is a rigged game. The slight of hand by the dealer is intended to defraud.
You don't see the Tavern as rigged because you can't detect the slight of hand. Or refuse to.
You have previously admitted that it is "weighted" towards certain outcomes. THAT MEANS IT'S RIGGED.
Yes, I know that other games do the same thing. So what?
Why not have the Tavern be TRULY our choice? Why would that be a bad thing?
The intent of the devs is to get people to spend more cash/gems to get a better outcome. Do you deny that too?
But what if the Tavern WAS our choice? Would more people stay and eventually pay?
We don't know do we? Why not find out? Why don't you ask the devs to make the Tavern a REAL game? Not a rigged one.

Urban dictionary


1. The word rigged is used to describe situations where unfair advantages are given to one side of a conflict.


From Dictionary.com


rig [rig] Show IPA
verb (used with object), rigged, rig·ging.
4.
to manipulate fraudulently: to rig prices.

Deciding the result ahead of time does not give an unfair advantage as long as the same rules are used for every one, and that is the way it is in the game. It also does not involve fraudulent manipulation (like in the Three Card MontY) because there is now fraud involved when the game is working as designed.

Just because players think the because they get to pick a card means that they have a way to influence the outcome when it does not, does not mean it is fraudulent or it give and unfair advantage to anyone. Therefore it does not meet the definition of rigged as stated above. What it does means is that the player does not understand how the game works.
