Cheapt Entertainment

A scam.

This building is heaving with wealthy captives just landed on a sucessful cruise.  Im building other entertainment building more suited to snobs but for the moment im full up with these ransom earners.

If you mark this building for demolishion and run the game for a split second all the workers and captives will vacate the building.  If you then cancel the demolish order and ensure a worker or three take up posts then the Dive will fill up again with new fee paying captives.  

Often those captives who we just thrown out by the demolish order will be the first to arrive..and they dont have to come far.  Fast track to fee earning.

Main downside is the hauler. If any goods in transit they will be lost when you mark building for demolishion.

This screenshot is the ideal candidate for this scam. Those wealthy snobs are real high in satisfaction already and have deep pockets so can afford to pay again.

 Shocked Shocked Shocked
Putting wealthy captives in WHAT  Shocked Is that a Smuggler's Dive? A Smuggler's Dive?! Actually a Smuggler's Dive! Dear me. Grin

Those fellows deserve the most expensive places (which, coincidently, also charge the highest fees!) to relieve their bottomless purses in. Cool

As far as the actual strategy is concerned, it's interesting, but, like you pointed out, it's a cheat.

I don't see how taking advantage of features you discover about a game can be a cheat. How do you know the designers didn't intend for these features to be used? So far as I'm concerned only cheat codes and reloading are cheating.

My first casino for months.  Just what the Privateer thought these wealthy captives deserved.  $$$$  $$$$ by the cart load but not helping me empty treasury.  

Providing none of the WC's get killed by irrate pirates then its as good as money in the bank for the plundering.

One of them has since gone home providing me enough cash to pay for an Inn construction.  The 4 compatriots captured from the same prize will go next in order to pay for some cutlasses....or is it a third captain....or another casino....or....

Main thing Im cursing about this Casino.  I've built it the wrong way around.  Its pointing into the island away from the docks.  Most customers therefore have longer walks.
