I am building a gambling machine on a Bukkit server with the Vault plugin, and I would like to do an error check. When the player wants to play the game, they need to have X dollars in their bank account. If they have less than the amount they want to bet, they should not be able to place a bet.
Is there any way to get a Redstone flag to be true if the player has enough money in their account to place the bet they want to place (or false if they don't)?
Here's a working concept of what you're probably looking for:
The trick is to split the output with varying delays, then each of them take their turn keeping the gate lifted up. The more rows of repeaters you have (with increasing length), the longer the button's signal.
There are a number of methods for extending a redstone signal:
Just plonk down repeaters. Each one gives you another 15 blocks, however, there is a 1-tick delay in the signal for each repeater you use, which can slow down large circuits.
This allows for instantaneous redstone transmission over long distances. There's a wiki page for it! It's a little complex, so here's video:
Should the video go down, a search for Instant Wire will turn up many more.
MineFactory Reloaded has redstone wiring that can extend for supposedly unlimited distance, preserving signal strength, using a network system.

You sound like you're making a whole new mini-game for a minecraft bukkit server, with a vault compatible economy plugin. For something like this, I'd recommend using http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/variabletriggers/ to make scripts to complete your desired action.
