Gambling limit in Act 2

Version: 0.1.0

Platform: Steam

Observed Behavior: In Act 2, when attempting to gamble, I am able to pick up items from the vendor's inventory but when I click to drop them in my inventory they simply disappear. Gold is not removed from my inventory, but I am also not able to purchase items from the gambling vendor. It appears to be the case that I can buy one item each time I log in, but from that point on the vendor is broken. Leaving town or gaining a level do not seem to allow buying items again, but needs more testing.

Expected Behavior: Should be able to buy from the vendor as many times as you want.

Repro Steps: Needs testing.

Found this exact issue in Act 1 at Finn just today. This was working just fine this morning for me, then noticed the isssue later on in my session and found reports for it hapening in Act 2 that lead me here.
I was able to gamble purchase about 3 tabs of gear before being locked out by Risu in act 2. I am able to purchase 1 item post quest. No more.

This just happened to me in act 2. I gambled two energy shield gloves & then I wasn't able to buy anything at all.

edit 2: This just happened to me again in act 3. I logged on & immediately tried to gamble, it still won't let me at the same person. I went to act 2 & was able to gamble 1 piece of gear but then it stopped working at that person as well..

about 2 hours later I was able to buy 1 item, but no more than that so far.

a few hours after that I was able to buy 4 items, but it eveytually stops me from buying anything no matter the amount of gold I have.

24 hours later & I still can't gamble items in act 3, despite having 48k gold.

edit3:

as the next post mentions it does seem to restock when you kill a unique monster, i killed the same unique monster twice & gained 2 restocks. I can't be sure that anything I said above is valid now because I wasn't keeping track of that until now.

The system seems working fine in Act 1. The gambler vendor in Act 1 will "restocking" its inventory (indicated by the x/100 mark on the right bottom of its inventory) after player kills some unique bosses (the lv difference plays no role here since I tasted with lv 34 witch on lv 2 map unique boss).

However in Act 2 this seems no longer working. No matter how many unique bosses I killed or the lv differnce between the boss and my character, the vendor inventory seems only reset partially after certain times and completely unaffected by the bosses I slay.
Today i run into same Issue in Act2. Cant buy anymore from gambling vendor. And i play SSF. This was the last chance to get any gear, because enemies drops nothing, because you have no bonus, when playing SSF. And i found no way to buy again from the gambling vendor. I dont know. Is this a bug or is a secret number behind a wall that allowed only limited gambling, because maybe player abuses it, because they maybe purchase RMT Gold and then click the f out of the vendor. But please….SSF Player…we are not trading. If there is a secret number, then display it on the gamble vendor, before we run out of trys.

The gamble has a counter that is replenished by killing unique monsters. It seems that the counter is not displayed on gamepad.
