The Casino is a recurring mini-game in the Dragon Quest series. Casinos appear in all games beginning with Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. While gambling in the Dragon Quest series began in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, where merchants would give out tombola tickets for use similar to a slot machine, the full blown casino had its debut in the fourth title.

Description[edit]

.Dragon Quest IV, the first instalment in the Zenithian Trilogy, is now out on mobile devices!This epic adventure, unfolding over five unique chapters, each focusing on a different cast of. The machine that gave me 205 coins looked like most of the others. One row was initially lined up, I think all three 7's. In the casino, 8 of the machines had 1 row of 777 in the initial position, and only 2 of them were not losing machines. 4 of the machines had 2 rows of 777 initially, and only 1 was a winning machine.

One of the 'mascots'.

The Casino is a gambling hall, usually underground, where the player can use their Gold Coins to purchase casino coins, or tokens, which can then be wagered on various games of chance. The only reward for doing well in these games is more tokens, but after accruing large amounts of them, the player can cash them in for various special items, many of which cannot be obtained anywhere else and are the most powerful in the game. Simply buying enough tokens to purchase the desired items would be insanely expensive, basically necessitating high performance on the casino floor if one wishes to obtain the best prizes. Of course, all games are set in favor of the player losing, so many devise special tricks to increase their odds. Tokens cannot be exchanged for gold.

The Casino is known for its 'mascots', the energetic, bunny-eared young women who promote the location and do the more secretarial work.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies was the first main series game since Dragon Quest to not include a form of gambling.

Games[edit]

Slot machine[edit]

Are Slots Rigged

Insert 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 tokens for a chance to earn multiples of that amount with each spin. The input to return on these machines are very small in Dragon Quest IV. This game is the least likely to give the player a high return.

The Slot Machines in Dragon Warrior IVNES and Dragon Quest IVDS has 3 rows bets up to 5 coins and a small return for each win.

However in Dragon Quest V, VI, there are 5 rows which increases the chance of getting 3 or more in a row, they can choose from 3 different slot machines, place up to 9 coins, 90, coins, and 900 coins. This game can give the player a high return if they win.

Video Poker[edit]

This game is played just like video poker (Jokers Wild video poker to be exact). The player is first dealt five cards. Then the player decides which cards to hold and which to draw. After the draw (if any) the player receives a payout for the following winning hands. Unlike real-life Jokers Wild video poker, the minimum pay out is two pair or better as opposed to pair of Kings or better. Also, any kind of Royal Flush will win the jackpot; in real video poker you must have a 'natural' (no wild cards) Royal Flush for the jackpot.

Note: Because of the addition of the Joker that can become the highest card the player needs, the odds are slightly lower than in regular poker.

Double or Nothing: After winning the hand, the dealer will allow the player to go double or nothing, betting their winnings on the chance to double their winnings or lose everything. The game consist of guessing whether or not a given card is higher or lower than the face-up card. Guessing correctly will double the winnings. Guessing incorrectly ends the game and the player leaves with nothing. If the card is the same, it is a draw and the player gets another chance to guess high or low.

This game is played with a deck of 53 cards, including a Joker. The Joker is the highest and the four 2s are the lowest. Statistically, if the base card is a 2, 3, or 4, the next card will be higher. Conversely, if the base card is an Ace, King or Queen, the next card will be lower. Should the Joker appear always pick lower. If the player understands statistics and has some luck, that player can rack up thousands of tokens.

In the NES version of Dragon Warrior IV, the player can place up to 100 coins and get a high return if the player wins.

However in the Dragon Quest IV DS remake, the player can only bet up to 10 coins and it is the least likely to give the player a high return.

Monster Arena[edit]

Dragon Quest III monster arena

The Monster Arena has the player bet on one monster out of a pool of 3-5 that will then battle each other. The odds are listed before the match and affect the payout, but not necessarily its outcome. Once the match begins, the battle is actually performed as it might happen on the field, opening up the possibility of misses and other events, such as the effects of particular moves. The player is initially limited to a bet of only 50 tokens at once, but can earn up to 10,000 tokens in a single round if he continues to bet his winnings from previous rounds.

In Dragon Quest IV DS, the Monster Arena is the best way to win coins as it gives the player a high return if the player wins the bet.

Lucky Panel[edit]

Introduced in Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past, the lucky panel is a matching game that allows the player to win items along with the usual tokens. The game starts with
