Gambling to Become a Neopian Millionaire!

     ** Keep in mind, these items and games are a GAMBLE. You are not guaranteed anything and will most likely not make a profit.**

      Scratchcards

     Scratchcards can be one of the most inexpensive ways to gamble! Depending on where you choose to buy them from, you can purchase a new card every 2, 4, or 6 hours. Up on Terror Mountain, you will find the Terror Mountain Kiosk! While the items you may win are not necessarily lucrative, you have a chance at the jackpot! If you are wandering in The Lost Desert, you could stumble upon the Lost Desert Scratchcard Kiosk! Here you have a chance at some desert items, the jackpot, and even a Lost Desert Paint Brush! My personal favourite is located deep in the Haunted Woods. Through the woods and into the Deserted Fairground, you'll find the Deserted Fairground Kiosk! The Fairground is infamous for its rigged, I mean difficult, games. But Sidney won't steer you wrong! Here you have the possibility to win the jackpot or some very nice Spooky weapons!

     Openables

     Openables are gambling items such as Trick or Treat bags, Goodie Bags, and Discovered Treasure Chests. Each item has its own prize pool, with items ranging from 1 NP to a couple million! Some even give items worth well over 10 million! But remember, they are worth so much because they are so rare! Don't buy 5 Trick or Treat bags and expect to win the biggest item every time!

     Every Halloween Trick or Treat bags are given to every Neopian that can find them across the site! There are some Trick or Treat bags and Goodie Bags that are stock in Neopian shops, otherwise you can buy them from other players! New bags come out every year, and older bags retire respectively.

     A lot of the Openables contain stamps or other exclusive items that can fetch a pretty Neopoint!

     Nerkmids

     One of the most favourite ways to gamble by Neopians is to use Nerkmids at the Alien Aisha Vending Machine! Nerkmids can award paint brushes! That right, any Paint Brush r150 and lower is a winnable item! From Brown Petpet Paint Brush to Maraquan Paint Brush, there are so many possibilities! Other prizes include Gross Foods, Fading Bottled Faeries, and other Nerkmids!

     Nerkmids are great because with one good Paint Brush win, you can earn a profit!

     You can find Nerkmids all across Neopia! A lucky spin on the Wheel of Extravagance, a Random Event, and battling in the Cosmic Dome can win you a Nerkmid to gamble with!

     *Cosmic Dome is available to Premium members only!

     Neocola Token

     Neocola Tokens are similar to Nerkmids, but a much cheaper option to buy! By putting a Neocola Token into the Neocola Machine, you have a chance to win prizes exclusive to the machine, a Robot Petpet or a Transmogrification Potion! Transmogrification Potions are 1 of the three ways to change your pet into a Mutant! Therefore they are fairly sought after!

     Be careful gambling here! You don't want Dr. Sloth to think you're joining his ranks!

     The Coincidence

     The Coincidence is one of the newer ways to gamble and a personal favourite! Unlike the other gambling options, you can only do one quest for Dr. Landelbrot a day. He will ask for items that you can sometimes get from your dailies! However, he may ask for two or three of 1 item, and you might have to buy the extras from a fellow Neopian. If you're lucky, it should cost you under 20,000 Neopoints per quest, but as with anything, it depends on what he asks for. If you do complete his quest, you have the chance to win a Robot Petpet, TCG, or a Petpetpet! Petpetpets can only be found from The Coincidence, which makes them highly sought after items! A lot of the time, you will end up with a random event that doesn't give you anything, so take that into consideration when you accept his daily quest!

     Stock Market

     The Stock Market is a gamble in a special way. You don't have the instant gratification of winning a Paint Brush or finding a Petpetpet. Instead, you are able to buy 1000 stocks a day. By buying them at the lowest possible value (15NPs), you can ensure profit when you decide to sell. However, the Stock Market is a fickle place. You may buy your stocks at 10 AM, and they may drop below 10 NPs by dinner time! Gambling in the Stock Market is a waiting game. It could be months or even years before you can sell them for a profit. But I highly recommend them for long term profits and a little more of a 'stable' gamble, if you will.

     Food Club

     I would say the most popular gamble across all of Neopia is Food Club! Food Club can be intimidating, and maybe I'll write a guide for that another day. However, by placing your ten bets every day, over time, you have the opportunity to earn millions! Food Club is similar to the Stock Market in that it can take time to bring in a large amount of profits. But Food Club also gives you instant gratification because the results come in every day!

     The Neopoint amount you can bet every day is 50 + 2 for every day you have been playing Neopets! As you can imagine, older accounts have a great advantage to place higher Neopoint bets if they choose and therefore earn a larger payout. I would recommend Food Club for everyone, but especially Neopians that have been playing for a few years!

     I hope this guide has helped you decide how to gamble your hard-earned Neopoints! Don't forget, while gambling can be fun, it's never a sure thing! ;)
