Add claw machines/gachapons as a functional plugin around.

What's the title of your suggestion?: Add claw machines/gachapons as a functional plugin around.

What's your suggestion?:
Walking around the map, I noticed there is a relatively low amount of possible interactions whilst exploring (other than the vending machines and those side quests). . So, why not institute a bit of a charm to places such as the arcade or shopping district? Claw machines and gachapons are pretty popular in many places across Japan and, because of this, I think that it would add to immersion whilst also giving players a bit more to do during downtimes.

How will this benefit the server and community?:
Along with giving players a reason to explore and spend their yen, these machines can also give a bit more interaction with the community, prizes being rotated every week or two can build a sense of excitement for collectors and people who come across it from time to time. They can also be used to generate income for stores that wish to place them, and attraction.

As someone who works as a gachapon store IRL(Bandai Nameco), I would LOVE TO SEE THIS IN SRP!! But, there is a part of me that doesnt want srp to get in trouble with. Which is the Gambling part of the game.

For those who do not know what Gachapon is, there are a set amount of items in a machine that you have a CHANCE to get. Like if there was 2 items, it would be 50/% or 3 items, 33% and so on. So, this would technally trigger the 'no gambling' part of the Minecraft ToS for servers.

I would honestly would love to work with SRP and tell them on how the machines function on a physical matter and stuff to see on how we might be able to add this onto the server, and maybe have an entire shop just dedicated for this!

My main concern is this ^

Given how strict Mojang's EULA is regarding gambling, SRP would need to use some workaround methods to implement this idea. As far as I remember, shops and businesses aren't allowed to offer services where players pay for a chance at a reward. If these machines were to be added, it would probably have to be skill-based rather than luck-based to comply with Mojang's guidelines.

Maybe something that is like the fishing mi****me? and maybe the longer you play at a machine the more like duplicates of an item you'll get as to be more motive to check out other machines or way x amount of time before going back to that machine

I feel like a easy work-around for SRP to do this is to always guarantee some sort of prize at the end of playing, so you're not leaving empty-handed. Plus it wouldn't count as 'gambling' if you do win atleast something correct?
