Ah, [[The Casino]]... a chance to triple your money, and have fun while doing it. Or go home completely broke, and have fun while doing it.
 
If the characters visit [[Viva Las Vegas|Vegas]], there will definitely be at least ONE''one'' of these, and someone will probably go home broke, either due to strange [[House Rules]] or legitimate bad luck. And every [[Vegas Montage]] will show a half-dozen or more.
 
In video games, this is ''sometimes'' a [[Minigame Zone]], but not always. Only if you can play it's a [[Minigame Zone]]. It ''could'' be both, if you can play the games there, but have to bring down [[The Mafia]] too.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In the episode of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' where Spike meets Faye, a casino chip with a microchip in it is to be exchanged in one of these. For added fun, it takes place in a casino/space station shaped like a roulette wheel.
Line 39:
* In ''[[Action Doom 2 Urban Brawl]]'', as you're riding an elevator upwards through the corporation building and punching out everyone you meet along the way, one of the floors you come upon is a casino, complete with snazzy casino music and mini-games to play.
* ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'''s third stage is casino themed, but the focus is on pinball, with Sonic as the ball. The main wagering you do is hoping to collect 100 rings in a game to avoid being dumped into the sewer, and one pinball game has a slot bonus, where one set of symbols (Dr. Eggman's face) will steal all of your rings.
* St. Martial in the now-defunct ''[[City of Villains]]'' was a mid-Atlantic equivalent to Vegas, and while it has dozens of neon-lit casinos lining its streets, the only one player characters could walk into at will was The Giza, a humongous golden pyramid (of course) which was the most prominent landmark in the zone.
** Smaller casinos of varying size and legality could be encountered in the course of different door missions.
