I honestly think this is a huge risk factor for the site.

In a casino, you have two categories of players. Skill based (poker Players and Blackjack Players) vs Luck /casual Roulette/Slots players.

Roulette / slots players don't give two craps about their edge or anything and are generally casual players.

Blackjack Players and Poker players may or may not ACTUALLY have an edge. But, if they think they do, they will keep coming back, and will also mix with the non-skill players, and occasionally go "tilt" on the luck games.

It's having both under the same roof that "brings the action". The fact that 90% of players don't know about, understand, or care about their house edge does not mean you are doing them any disservice by keeping it as is. This is why  "slots only" casinos feel dead compared to one that has a Pit and Poker room, with lots of different types of players.

Also, the big winners (using "skill", usually) attract more "luck" players.

I think splitting the PVP players from the main game would be a huge negative for bustabit. Hopefully it doesnt happen.

Caveat, i would love to play the new PVP version, I just hope the original version isn't changed, as the rules are perfectly elegant as is - they are what have made Bustabit great.
