First:
Conversion rates are hard to make different things have different values to different people. Rather, have different lotteries. Iron, gold, lapis, diamond, redstone, TNT, all sorts of random stuff.

As mentioned, enchantments are hard to regulate and value.

Second:
I hate you.
Now I want to redstone this.
And I have already figured out a relatively nice way to do it, just as I typed up this message.

The way I have seen most casinos have a reliable player betting is minecarts. Easily countable, hard to counterfeit. Minecarts are hard to use except for rails, however.
That could even be turned into a 1 player lottery, which would be boring.

A way for variable items is a seperate room for each player, with a water stream past a pressure plate in main control room. It can count how much people put in, then once it figures out who won sends them all off to the winner. Needs a way to make sure people put in good items though.
Maybe just a mono-minecart lottery?

And I think I might have just thought up of a possible stacked RNG for this.
Roulette table style, minecart goes in a circle, then randomly starts slowing down to a stop. You win if the cart stops in front of you. The more you bet, the longer the track is on your side, so the higher odds it stops on your side. Detector might be tricky with so many curved rails, but it makes it much easier for an outside party running it to keep track of everything.

Second and a half:
Or, just roulette style. Cart goes in circle, stops at a spot. Players place bets on blocks. that might win.

Third:
Saw an interesting Idea somewhere about extreme grass growing. Players place bets on which grass block would be last to grow grass. Different shapes possible, and possibly the epic factor of a wandering sheep to eat up grass.

ya i got a blaze egg.   me vs you... see who takes the jackpot

Take that up with Jousis, he was trying to make all sorts of ideas, but Kaya and I will run this regular lottery I made up. (Time for you guys to make a casino. Maybe at it's own independent location near a city? Like south of NN for example)

Ah pre 1.8 when we tried, but then it updated before we finished, how sad. Lamps, wool, glow stone, glass, are a go gummy. We aim for NN soon. Lol.
