Alright so I need help getting deeper into Voodoo, the farthest I think I've got is researching liber occultus and researching vampirism,  I'm at a dead end research wise having researched all the repeatables and all other things available,  so far in weapons tech I can produce light plasma weapons and use subrifle plasma guns, and my armour standard is Guardian. I know I should have delved deeper into Voodoo by now.

Hit "Q" on geoscape, write "VooDoo", then click on it, then you will know what to do next.

There is an item in the Black Market titled 'The World is yours'. What is that? It costs a lot of money.

Well, if you can afford it, it means that you can afford everything in this world, it's yours.
Bragging rights and some infamy bonus for researching it.

not a question per se, but since the main thread is flooded by content-hungry squabbies, i'll post it here instead:
pic related, this is imo plain wrong. dynamite and grenade fishing is a thing.

What is this STR_CASINO research item? It's a dead end.

Nobody fishes with dynamite and grenades in depths of an ocean. Also "resilliant" doesn't mean "immune". If something can survive pressure somewhere deep, then it's less likely to die from pure explosion.

Also good look to prime dynamite underwater.
If we can't cook underwater I doubt we can go fishing with explosives.

...If something can survive pressure somewhere deep, then

it's adapted to a certain pressure at a certain depth. that's why some inhabitants of the deep sea literally explode when brought on board at atmospheric pressure.

I doubt we can go fishing with explosives.

it's frowned upon, ie highly illegal, but it happens irl.

anyway it was just athought - i won't lead a crusade for stat-changing of the deep ones ;D

but since the Deeps have their homes in the ocean and at the same time can terrorize my pirate fiefs on land, they sureley have a very adaptive air bladder.

so i'm sorry for my stupid post  :P

Not a problem, it was a good question. And the answer is correct. :)

Is it worth it to gamble away your chips?  ;D In my current game I just unlocked gambling and rewards for reclaiming coupons are ... mediocre. I read somewhere that you can double your money by gambling. Do you just sell casino coupons?

Gambling is totally worth it. In short: reclaim the coupons that you can, sell the ones you can't reclaim.

How useful the things are that you get depends on your tech level. Higher coupon levels gives better things. There is a whole line of quite good weapons (golden) you can only get through gambling. It's gambling, so you will always get some junk as well.

If you gamble just to make money: I tested the copper and iron coupons, and for these reclaiming them and then selling the stuff gives you more money than just selling the coupons. This is on average, so if you reclaim just five coupons chances are it's lower. It should also be noted that gambling gives you a steady supply of apples.
Gambling is most profitable when the things you get are actually useful to you, since getting them from gambling is way cheaper then buying them. I found gambling the most useful when I need to equip troops for a newly established base.

Gambling can give you things way ahead of your techlevel or rare items you don't have yet but need for research. Here is a short list of things I find useful:

copper
- Maid outfit (research needed for Mansion mission)
- exquisite lingerie (you need a lot for seductress outfit)
- wrench
- old coins (bank bounty tokens)
- electric lasso
- boom fruit
- mine
- zombie juice
- vampire blood
- animal poison
- human space suit
- riot shield
- dart pistol, with basic or advanced ammo (basic ammo is extremly useful underwater)
- precision pistol
- combat shotgun
- crusader slave armor

iron
- all the useful things from copper
- old earth books
- Lokk'Naar scripture
- celatid essence
- Jack bounty tokens
- panzerfaust
- LASS
- knockout grenade
- all kinds of powerful explosives like, satchel charge, high explosive and barrel bombs
- aye phone (motion scanner)
- crazy Hassan flyer
- poison gas cannonballs (so useful for deep one pogroms)
- lynx smg
- painbringer smg

titanium
- boss armor
- doom slave armor
- grav harness
- vibro blade
- vibro sword
- bardiche
- super-self-charger
- demonic essence
- hypno panel
- stasis grenade
- rcf carbine electropulse ammo
- haxxor
- raygun
- omega rifle
- golden pistol
- bunch of heavy weapons like mortar, rocket launchers and grenade launchers
- and much more...
