The Ho-Oh casino in Kabuki belongs to the Tyger Claws. Its ground floor is open to visitors: the cashier, three roulette tables and a bar. The casino has its own icon on the map and its own “Casinos” category in the phone's GPS. A green zone of 10 m surrounds the cashier and each table: weapons can't be drawn there.
#The wheel of fortune
Walk up to the cashier and press E: “Casino: the cashier”. The casino's window has three tabs: “Wheel of fortune”, “Roulette” and “Rules and limits”.
- The wheel is free: one spin every 6 hours for an account, shared by all your characters. The 6 hours count from the account's last spin, whichever character made it. The window says so: “A free spin every 6 hours”, “One for the account: your characters share it”.
- The “Spin for free” button starts the wheel at once, with no confirmation. While no spin is due, the button counts down: “Next spin in 5 h 59 min”.
- Every spin wins one of the prizes in the tables below. It comes when the wheel stops: “You won: ...”.
- The wheel isn't part of the limits: no money is staked on it, so neither the loss limit nor the pause after a big loss closes it. But a new character gets the wheel only after 3 hours in the city, and if you closed the games to yourself, the wheel is closed too.
#Prizes and chances
The chances are the same for everyone and never change: the casino's window shows the same chances.
| Prize | Chance |
|---|---|
| 1,000 €$ | 44.4% |
| 2,500 €$ | 25% |
| 5,000 €$ | 15% |
| 7,500 €$ | 5% |
| 10,000 €$ | 3% (1 in 33) |
| 10 NEO | 3% (1 in 33) |
| 25 NEO | 1% (1 in 100) |
| Premium for 1 day | 1.5% (1 in 67) |
The prizes with a chance under 1% share one gold sector on the wheel: “The gold sector: one of the rare prizes”. It comes up with a chance of 2.1% (1 in 48), and then the rare prizes light up in the table one after another until they stop on the one you won.
| Gold sector prize | Chance |
|---|---|
| 50 NEO | 0.3% (1 in 333) |
| 100 NEO | 0.1% (1 in 1,000) |

- Money goes into your bank account, NEO and premium onto your account.
- A car you win goes straight into your garage with its own plate. If you have no free garage place, it waits in the casino's window (“Your prize is waiting”): “Into the garage” once a place is free, or “Money instead”: 60% of its dealership price, as much as a scrapyard pays.
#Roulette
A croupier stands at each of the three tables. Walk up to a table and press E: “Play roulette”.
- European roulette, with one zero: the numbers 0 to 36.
- A bet is 100 to 1,000,000 €$: from your account first, the rest in cash. Winnings go into your account.
- You bet on a number (the zero too), on red or black, even or odd, 1-18 or 19-36, a dozen (1-12, 13-24, 25-36) or a column.
- A number pays 35 to 1, a dozen or a column 2 to 1, the other bets 1 to 1. If the zero comes up, only a bet on zero wins.
- On any bet the house has a 2.7% edge.
- You confirm a bet in the “Place the bet?” window, and once placed it can't be taken back. The ball runs for 7 seconds, and the last numbers show in the roulette's window.
#Dice
Every 24/7 store and kiosk sells a pair of dice for 80 €$, in the “Games” group. Dice never get used up: you can play as often as you like. It's player against player, and the winner takes both stakes: the casino takes nothing from dice.
- Walk up to a player, within 4 m. In your inventory pick “Play dice” on the dice, or open the G menu on the player and pick “Dice game”.
- Name a stake from 100 to 25,000,000 €$ and confirm the offer.
- The other player sees a card at the top, “... offers you a game of dice”, with the stake, and has 45 seconds to answer. G opens it: “Accept and play for ...” or “Turn down”.
- Once the game is accepted, both stakes are taken (from the account first, the rest in cash) and the dice are thrown at once. Each throws two dice: the higher sum takes both stakes, and a tie gives each their own back (“A tie: the stakes are back”). Winnings go into the bank account.
- An accepted game can't be undone. You can take your offer back until it's accepted (“Take it back” in the G menu), and it's off by itself if you walk more than 8 m apart.
- After a no, the same player can offer again only 10 seconds later.
- You can't play against another character of your own account.
- The stake has to fit both players' limits. If your opponent can't play now, you only see “... can't play now”, never why.
- Dice are allowed in a green zone: it stops fights, not games.
#Limits
The limits count the roulette, the dice and the buy-ins of street races together, and the free wheel of fortune isn't part of them. The “Rules and limits” tab shows them: what you lost and won in 24 hours, your limit and what's left today.
- The loss limit for 24 hours: half your money (cash and account, with what you already lost in these 24 hours added back), never under 20,000 €$ or over 50,000,000 €$. It counts the net loss: what you lost minus what you won. A stake over what's left today isn't taken: “Over today's limit: at most ... may be staked now”.
- A pause after a big loss: if half the daily limit is lost within an hour, every game closes for 30 minutes.
- New characters can play after 3 hours in the city: “New in the city: the games open in ... of play”.
- Only money is staked: never a home, a business or a car.
#Close the games to yourself
The “Rules and limits” tab has a “Close my access to the casino for 7 days” button. It closes the wheel of fortune, the roulette, the dice and races with a buy-in to every character of your account, and it can't be undone early. If you need longer, write a report (F3): the administration will close the games to you for a longer time.
