Casino

How to Play

• Bet 1-99 coins. L sets the bet to 99 coins, and R sets it to 1 coin.
• The 5×5 card has 25 numbers, and 13 balls are drawn only from the numbers on the card (no misses)
• A line is complete when all 5 squares of any of the 12 rows, columns, or diagonals are filled
• The 24 squares other than the center are split into 4 groups of 6 squares
• While a ball is falling, you can rotate the group with that number like a ring using the Control Pad
• After the 13 balls, if any line is 1 square from complete, you can choose whether to try for 1 ball of Chence
• If the ball of Chence completes another line, the payout becomes 5x, and if not, you lose everything, including lines already completed
• Gold balls sometimes appear, and completing a line containing a gold mark raises the payout
• The ball of Chence is equally likely to land on any of the 12 unmarked squares, so the hit rate is "empty squares 1 away from completing a line ÷ 12"
• 1 ball takes about 6 seconds, but holding A cuts it to about 1 second. The ball of Chence cannot be sped up.

Payout

• Payout is coins bet × 2 to the power of completed lines × multiplier
• The multiplier is +2 for every 1 gold mark on a completed line (1 if there is no gold)
• When the ball of Chence completes another line, the multiplier is a further 5x
• The maximum is 640x, from using the ball of Chence to complete 4 lines (2 diagonals plus 1 each of row and column) with 2 gold marks on the intersections
• A payout of 42,768 coins or more becomes 0 coins, so the most you can receive on a bet of 99 coins is 31,680 coins (320x)

Recommended Play

• Bet 99 coins
• While a ball is falling, rotate its group to the orientation that gives the most, in this order of priority
• 1. Completed lines, 2. Lines with 4 marks, 3. Lines with 3 marks, 4. Lines with 2 marks.
• If every orientation is the same, do not rotate
• Try for the ball of Chence when there are 2 or more empty squares 1 away from completing a line, or when 1 empty square would complete 2 or more lines
• Even when 1 empty square completes only 1 line, try for it if that line has a gold mark
• To avoid losses, do not try for the ball of Chence

To Earn Even More

• Choose the orientation with the highest board score (do not rotate on a tie)
• The board score is the total across all 12 lines, with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 marks in a line worth 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 points
• A line with a gold mark scores 2x its points
• When at least 1 line is complete, add 4 points for each empty square in lines 1 away from complete
• Try for the ball of Chence the same way as in Recommended Play
• It takes effort, since you count the score of all 6 orientations for each ball

Expected Value

• A losing round costs all the coins you bet
• Trying for the ball of Chence loses 60-70% of rounds, so while your stake is small, skipping it makes you less likely to hit 0 coins

How to Play

• The machine art reads "Adventure 7"
• There are 3 types of machine (1-coin, 10-coin, and 100-coin slots), and you bet the machine's coin amount on each line
• Press Up on the Control Pad to add lines, and the reels spin automatically once you reach 5 lines
• Holding Up on the Control Pad keeps the reels spinning automatically
• There is no button to stop the reels, and where they stop is decided purely by luck
• The order of reel symbols differs between the 1-coin slot and the 10-coin and 100-coin slots
• Payouts are the same on all types of machine

Payout

Expected Value

• The payout rate is 171% for the 1-coin slot and 124% for the 10-coin and 100-coin slots, regardless of the number of lines
• The 1-coin slot has the higher payout rate, but the 10-coin and 100-coin slots gain more coins per spin
• 1 spin takes about 5.6 seconds, for about 630 spins per hour

• Values for holding Up and spinning continuously on 5 lines
• Even on the 100-coin slot, split into 1-hour blocks, you lose coins in about 8% of them
• If you start the 100-coin slot with a stake of 20,000 coins, about 10% of runs drop below 500 coins early and stop

How to Play

• Bet 1-99 coins
• First, pick 1 of 3 face-up cards, and the rest go to the 2 other customers
• Press A to draw 1 card and B to stand. The hand ends at 5 cards or when you go over 21.
• There is no double, split, surrender, or insurance
• The dealer skips cards that would go over 21 instead of drawing them, so the dealer almost never goes over 21
• A tie with the dealer counts as a loss

Payout

• When the dealer has a special hand, only a higher special hand can win

Recommended Play

• For the first card, take the highest available in this order: A of spades → J of spades → A → 2 → 3 → 4 → 10/J/Q/K → 5 → 7 → 6 → 9 → 8
• With 2 cards, stand on 21, on A and 9, or on 18 or more without using an A. Otherwise draw.
• With 3 cards, stand if all 3 are the same number, or on 18 or more without using an A. Otherwise draw.
• With 4 cards, stand on 20 or 21 without using an A. Otherwise draw.
• Bet about 1/10 of your coins
• The dealer almost always stops at 17-21, so aim for 5 cards totaling 21 or less (8x) and a 2-card 21 (4x)

Expected Value

• With Recommended Play, the payout rate is 164% and the win rate is 36%
• Standing on 17 or more as in regular blackjack gives a payout rate of 87%, a net loss

How to Play

• Five Card Stud against 3 opponents, with no card exchange
• The ante is 10 coins per round, and bets are 10 coins per point
• After the first 2 cards, you bet 3 times, with 1 more card dealt each time, then the 5th card is dealt for the showdown
• You can raise up to 99 points in each betting round, and opponents act first
• The winner takes the entire pot
• If the best hand has no ranking or there is a tie, the pot carries over to the next round
• Hand rankings are the same as in regular poker, and remaining cards are not compared between equal hands

Recommended Play

• Every betting round, after the opponents bet, raise until that round's bet reaches 99 points
• However, if you have no pair and an opponent still in the round shows a pair in their face-up cards, just call without raising
• Do not fold even with a weak hand
• Opponents tend to fold to big raises, and you collect the bets of those who fold
• 1 round uses up to 2,980 coins, so start when you have 2,980 coins or more

Expected Value

• With Recommended Play, the payout rate is 126%, with an average of +700 coins per round
• Simply always raising to 99 points gives a payout rate of 121%
• The win rate is 47% (28% from all opponents folding)
• A losing round costs up to 2,980 coins, so even a stake of 20,000 coins runs out within 100 rounds about 16% of the time

How to Play

• 1 credit is 10 coins, and you bet 1-3 credits per game
• Press Up on the Control Pad to bet and A to pull the lever
• Stop the reels with Y for left, X for middle, and A for right
• There are BIG and REG bonuses, and a JAC game that returns 15 credits for 1 credit
• Remaining credits turn back into coins when you leave the machine
• When no bonus has been drawn, the reels slide to avoid lining up
• While a bonus is pending, the reels slide up to 4 symbols to pull the symbols into line, so you can line them up by timing your presses
• When you sit down at a machine, about 40% of the time it starts with a BIG or REG already drawn
• 1 game takes about 3 seconds

Hidden Commands

• Before betting, open another screen with SELECT, press START, enter the buttons, and return with B
• A sound effect plays on success
• Entering a command erases any carried-over bonus
• The normal odds are about 1/128 for both BIG and REG, and all odds below assume a bet of 3 credits

How to Guarantee a BIG

• Each time you sit down at a machine, about 20% of the time it starts with a BIG already drawn
• After sitting down, enter the command that shows the draw data on screen (L R L R X Y X Y A B)
• This command does not erase a drawn bonus
• Bet 1 credit and pull the lever, and the ones digit of the on-screen number shows the draw (1 is BIG, 2 is REG)
• If it is not BIG, leave the machine, sit back down, and re-enter the command
• If it is BIG, keep playing without entering any other command or leaving the machine
• Stopping the reels left → middle → right means a REG almost never lines up first and erases the BIG
• Doing this guarantees a BIG will start eventually
• Coins lost before the BIG starts average about 170, and about 1,700 at most

Recommended Play

• After sitting down at a machine, enter the command that makes BIG most likely (R A Y L ← ↑ → ↓ SELECT SELECT B)
• Re-enter the command each time a BIG or REG ends
• Bet 3 credits every game
• Stop the reels right → left → middle. You do not need to time your presses.

Expected Value

• With Recommended Play, the payout rate is 350%, with an average of +55 coins per game
• Without commands, the payout rate is 229%
• The first BIG gains about 4,000 coins, and if you do not hit 0 coins before then, your coins rarely drop afterward
• With a stake of 1,000 coins, the chance of hitting 0 coins is under 1%
• You can play about 1,200 games per hour, gaining about 50,000-60,000 coins with hidden commands and about 30,000-40,000 coins without
