Addon - https://www.gmodstore.com/market/view/23
Why I think this should be in the game
I've played on multiple servers that have had this addon and It has been a lot of fun in the past. Not only is it an additional way to gamble and wager money (which our community loves doing). Its a game of skill to earn your money that can't be played unfairly.
Also this addon was released in 2014 and its still getting updates.
