Here are some gameplay tips and tricks for the Fable II Pub Games, as well as more info on debt in Fable II and the Pub Games. If you are wondering about a 'much talked about' exploit, just ignore it (and know that a patch is on the way). I've got about 800 gold now, managed to build up to 2100 but paid off some debt. Could just as well have taken it on the chin and do community service for that crime...



Some general tips:

• Better tables, better odds: While all of these games have a slight long-term advantage for the house, you might easily win money in the short term. But if you don’t, there’s no need to despair. Once you unlock the higher-limit tables, you’ll have a better chance to earn back your money in a few lucky hands. Or, if you’re a conservative player, you can earn money by playing in tournaments.
• Tournaments: Every tournament is a “rich” game, meaning that on average, players will win more gold than they put in. This is because, along with the tournament buy-ins, the house adds extra gold to the tournament prize! In addition, you can win unique items by placing “in the money” in each of the 15 tournaments: this is an even greater value in the world of Fable II.
• Tournaments: Tournaments are played against computer opponents. You can win gold in tournaments, even free tournaments, because the house always adds a little extra gold to sweeten the pot. In addition, you can also win amazing items that you can’t buy anywhere else in Albion.

Game tips that might help:

• Free Money: The house always adds money to the prize pool of a tournament, which means you have a chance to come out ahead.
• Play a Tournament: The top five finishers in any tournament get a cash prize... and a unique Fable II item!
• Borrowing Chips: You always borrow chips when you join a game. If you win, you cash out with your winnings. If you lose, you add to your debt.
• Debt: Having a large debt in the Fable® II Pub Games won’t hurt you, but owing too much money is considered a crime in Fable II. Nothing too nasty or annoying when you play the game...so don't panic!

KeyStone:

• Improve Your Odds!: The odds in Keystone are better at the high-limit tables. Unlock new tables to improve your odds.
• Odds Chart: You can see the odds of every bet on the table by holding down the left trigger.

FortuneTower:

• Improve your Odds: For better odds, look for the decks with fewer number cards; this makes the Heroes more likely to be dealt!
• Taking a Loss: As painful as it feels, sometimes cashing out with a slight loss is the best play.

SpinnerBox:

• Bonus Symbols: Some machines have bonus games: free spins, payout multipliers, or a hidden fourth switch!
• Free Spins: In a Free Spins game, you’ll win a free spin for every bonus symbol that appears. These spins are made at the same initial wager, and can even win more free spins!
• Payout Multiplier: In a multiplier game, each bonus symbol adds to a growing multiplier. This grows spin after spin until a round with no bonus symbols.
• Fourth Switch: In a Fourth Switch game, a spin with three bonus symbols opens a secret fourth switch. This single switch always pays like three of a kind!
• Improve your Odds: Higher-limit Spinnerbox games usually have better odds for the player. When you play at higher limits, you’ll win more for every gold you bet.

Oakfields - a place in Albion with a great pub!
When you do build up debt in the Fable II Pub Games and merge these characters, your debt will be outstanding with the Pub Games Masters at one of Albion's many different pubs. It won't affect the wealth of your Fable II Hero character in a negative way, but owing too much money in Albion is considered a crime, for which you will need to pay a fine - or do community service.

i bolded new important stuff

oakfields look great

I don't know yet. Sam's pretty hushed about it. He's not talking, or Lionhead. Wish we knew though.
