17.32 Gladiators

From time to time the gladiator pits in the Coliseum will be open for betting on some bloodthirsty battles.

In order to bet on a battle, you will need to get a betting ticket, a voucher, or gold. With any of these items, you can wager on one of the gladiators in the arena. You can begin betting on gladiators at 10 and 40 minutes past the hour (real life time). There are two fights every hour. The fights begin at the top of every hour and at the 30-minute mark.

Tickets will return a credit reward. Vouchers are worth a 1000 gold bet each. 

You can find the pits with the command PATH FIND GLADIATORS.
