To comment on the Casino idea, casinos have the potential to make a massive amount of money. Having worked in a bookies and seen the amount of money that goes into Fixed Odds Betting terminals (they host games like roulette, black jack and slot machines) people can shovel in thousands of pounds each day and make a loss.

Roulette is naturally made to be against the user, and is therefore regulated by the gambling commission in the UK (I'm sure other regulator bodies exist in other countries). My point being that if you want to regulate the economy, you need to regulate potential large money making enterprises such as casinos.

You can spin 50K on red and make 50K profit in one spin, however you can loose 50K in one spin. Like Falc and Ghost killer said you need to regulate this, one such being can be a system like the high street bookies use where players have a rating which changes from green, amber to red. Green customers are all set to this by default and have a max bet of say £2500. Customers who make profit on the table are then make either amber or red and monitored. So every bet they make is entered into a database and amber customers have a smaller max limit to bet for example amber could be £1000. But red customers would always be on a bet by bet basis which is authorised by the betting control.

Just a thought that if you want to regulate betting then this may be a good framework to implement. If need be I can go further into the process if it's complicated or I've messed up explaining.
