Core Mechanics

Players start out with a very small set of rooms, only initially being able to offer three games; slot machines, blackjack, and roulette. Over time, players will gain access to more interesting, lucrative, and risky types of games. As their variety of entertainment in the rooms expands, players also have a larger variety of other entertainment to provide. Bars, theatres, lounges, hotel rooms, and many more diversions can be added around the casino, to entice more guests. Players do all of this through a typical strategy game interface; they can construct rooms similar to The Sims, and then place objects in each room as appropriate. Players can choose from a wide variety of casinos on the strip itself to own, and are also able to create and modify their own. Players are able to fill their casinos with a variety of gambling devices in order to maximise all of their potential profits. In order to attract customers, each device targets a particular type of patron. Large amounts of slot machines will attract cheaper patrons and generate bulk cash, but they take up a large amount of room.

The House

Usually, the house always wins. Unfortunately, players will find their fair share of players who win. As they develop more competitive and strategic games available, more skilled gamblers will arrive. Games like baccarat will attract expert card players; people who may take the casino for all it's worth. To deal with this, the player has a number of strategies , including simply paying out (most expensive), banning them (may cause issues with publicity), beating them(again, issues) and framing them (not as expensive but riskier). Options like these enable the player to operate the kind of casino they want to operate. The casino can actually go into debt as a result of paying so much to top-tier card players or extremely lucky patrons.

Players construct and design their casino in a similar way to the Sims build mode.
