Gold coins are different from credits. They are used to add hours to your own casino.

To buy, make sure the proper tab is selected as below, and click one of the purchases.

Hours are used to activate the host casino. Gold coins can be converted into hours inside the host's "my casino" menu setting under "add hours". Every gold coin gives 12 hours.

In the host "my casino" menu, click "add hours". A popup allows you to convert gold coins into hours. Each gold coin gives 12 hours. Once the hours are added, the host casino is automatically activated.

To figure out how long the casino will be activated for, just divide the hours available, by the current number of machines in the casino. If there are 60 hours available and 8 machines, take 60÷8 = 7.5 The casino will last for 7 hours before it expires with leftover hours remaining. It lasts for the "whole number" of hours.

Each gold coin adds 12 hours.

Each hour activates 1 machine for 1 hour. If there is 1 machine in the casino, 2 gold coins will activate it for 24 hours (1 day) . Two gold coins to activate 1 machine for 24 hours.

When the hours left in the casino are less than the amount of machines currently in the casino, the casino expires. The host needs to add more hours so that the hours are equal to or more than the current number of machines.

When there are machines in the host casino and the hours remaining are more than the number of machines, the timer automatically starts.

The timer will continue to countdown until there are no hours left, there are less hours than the number of machines, or there are no more machines in the casino.

Yes, it starts counting down when there are more hours than machines and continues until there are no hours left, there are less hours than the number of machines, or until there are no more machines in the casino.

Countdown stops when hours are 0, when hours are less than machines, or when there are no machines in the casino. You can reduce the number of machines to slow it down or even delete all machines to stop the countdown.

Unlike universal casinos that are run and managed by Casinolava, hosted casinos do not have that "globe" icon, they are managed solely by the hosts of those casinos. The host username is shown when you click "MORE CREDITS" in the hosted casino. Casinolava is not responsible for any interaction between the hosts and their users. Users should contact the host for any issues related to the hosted casinos.

Host cannot change the amount of credits the user has but can increase or reduce the cap of the user. Default cap is set to "0" inside the host's my casino menu.

Users with total winnings as high as this net limit are not allowed to play anymore. There is a default net limit (set at 0) in the main menu of the "my casino" for the host.
