Casinos make for some of my favorite settings in video games, the lights, the colors, the excitement! Post some casino level love, or even gambling mini games if you want.

Calypso Casino (Rainbow Six Vegas)

Holy shit, what a map. It has everything, gaming tables to take cover behind, slots to shoot, giant ass fish tanks, a keno room, the vault down below, great ambient casino noise, and it's fantastic map to boot. It's really well balanced, spacious, open ended, and a ton of fun to play. It's easily in my top five FPS maps of all time.

Boneyard Casino (Sly Cooper and Thevius Racoonus)

One image hardly does this map justice, but it's just as much fun to notice all the little details as it is to play. The platforming and stealth are pure bliss throughout the whole game, but it feels especially great to pull off a heist in a big ass casino like this. I love the level's boss too, he's basically Biff from Back to the Future 2 if Biff were a swole-ass bulldog with the two biggest revolvers you've ever seen!

I had a weak spot for the Vegas mission in Hitman Blood Money. The Sonic stages based on casinos are pretty rad, too.

 

[Pikma]

F-Zero GX

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're done

 

[revolverjgw]

Hitman Blood Money- House of Cards

 

[BinaryPork2737]

F-Zero GX

It's so good, especially the music.

 

[JordanN]

Super Mario Sunshine

 

[Dusk Golem]

I think SEGA are the kings in this area, Sonic Casino stages and the casino level in F-Zero GX are definitely what's instantly striking my mind.

 

[Exalted Terraforce]

Damnit! Was about to post that!

But yeah, I remember wasting time on the roulette for dem ringz. Lovely little touch

 

[sector4]

Great topic, mine is the Graveyard Casino in Ni No Kuni!

 

[NewGame]

Three... two... one.... GO!

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

there's a casino level in Sunshine???

I never finished the game so does that come in the later stages or what? Maybe i should replay it for that hmm...

 

[Beaniedude]

Special mention goes to Professor Layton where you build a machine gun out of slot machines.

 

[Papercuts]

A House of Cards from Hitman: Blood Money

Multiple floors of rooms you can screw around with, setting up a perfect sniping spot, the sheer amount of chaos you can bring, all combine to make it one of the most memorable levels in the game.

All to this badass song, too.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Casinopolis in Sonic Adventure 1. Mainly because of Nights Pinball which I put way to many hours into just because I loved the music. And Nights was such a transfixing character. Ever since I was a kid I never had the chance to play Nights into Dreams but it always looked mesmerizing. I always assumed it was a chick too (until the Wii version came out and I read it was a male). So since I never had a Sega CD, then this was as close as I got to expierience Nights.

It's the 5th (of 8) stages in the game, and one of my personal favorites. It's not 100% casino, it's split into four areas really. First is a beach at dusk, second is a haunted hotel, third is the mentioned casino, and finally is a vast ventilation system.

Spent more time playing poker and trying to get cherries in the casino in Test Drive Unlimited 2 than in the actual game

 

[CaptainSlow]

Fallout: New Vegas. The different casinos in the areas were fantastic.

 

[Vampirolol]

F-Zero GX

Came to post this.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Does Golden Saucer from FFVII count?

 

[Cody_D165]

Sonic Adventure's casino level is pretty awesome because it's not really a casino, it's pinball in disguise as a casino.

NiGHTS-themed pinball, too.

Also, the bathrooms have showers. why

It's really well balanced, spacious, open ended, and a ton of fun to play. It's easily in my top five FPS maps of all time.

Please God have this map in Rainbow 6 Siege somehow.

Ape Escape 2 - Casino City

 

[licktheenvelope]

Hitman Blood Money- House of Cards

Love that game.

 

[nintendork666]

The dialogue in this part from Dragon Warrior Monsters was especially funny.

Good times.

 

[JordanN]

Technically, that's a Pachinko parlor. Gambling is actually banned in Japan.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Does this count?

 

[Toxi]

Sonic 2's Casino Night is still loads of fun. Not the best level in the game, but it's close. I love how everything affects your trajectory and speed.

Sonic Heroes' Bingo Highway is easily the worst. Bottomless pits as far as the eye can see.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Sonic Adventure and Rainbow Six: Vegas are in here, so I'm tapped out.

 

[kess]

James Bond 007 on Game Boy had blackjack.

 

[Ochi]

If it counts, I'll submit the team rocket casino in celadon city in Pokemon red and blue

So so many spin pads...

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

This was my response as well.

 

[Revson]

Spent more time playing poker and trying to get cherries in the casino in Test Drive Unlimited 2 than in the actual game

Yep, same here.

 

[petghost]

the ultra luxe in new vegas was my favorite part of that game just because the quest involving the white glove society was amazing and very macabre. one of the most memorable parts of any game for me.

 

[Odrion]

There can only be one. And it's this.

 

[MrJustinius]

The grandfather of Ubisoft downgrades, still hurts.

First post nails it as usual though, music was so smooth.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Casino Night Zone had neat music.

 

[inner-G]

I like the Casinos in the Dragon Quest games - you can really gamble!

 

[JediLink]

All the obvious ones have already been posted. The only other thing I can think of is the casino in 999.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Calypso Casino was the only level in Rainbow Six: Vegas if I remember correctly.

 

[andymcc]

Casino Night Zone had neat music.

That's pretty much all it had going for it.

I think Spring Yard Zone and Collision Chaos Zone are both sort of casino-esque and way better.

Super Mario Sunshine

this whole portion of the game was so bad dude

 

[Camwi]

Any of the Dead Rising casino segments.

 

[The Albatross]

Casino Night Zone, there is no other that really comes to mind, although the Casino heist in GTA:SA is pretty memorable. THe one where you break in, sneak up stairs, take photos of the layout to the casino, and then have to fight your way out guns blazing.

 

[The Albatross]

Fallout: New Vegas. The different casinos in the areas were fantastic.

Yeah... I loved how bustling and lively they looked:

 

[Kup]

Does this count?

It is the ultimate casino level...

 

[thelatestmodel]

Does Golden Saucer from FFVII count?

Does this count?

Sure, why not.

I like Dragon Quest casinos.

 

[JulianImp]

My cousin and I used to play Casino Night's slots over and over until we timed out a few times without even trying to finish the level, so I'm inclined to say this is one of the best ones out there.

 

[Zimmy68]

2 that I like that probably don't count.

RE: Revelations - a nice fight with some heavy enemies but it is basically a small room, on a boat.

Splinter Cell Double Agent - also on a boat. But I think you could fritz a slot machine to lure the bad guy over.
