It goes through my steps at gaining tokens from what you're given by Cash and Carrie, so purchasing of tokens isn't neccessary. *important* My method deals with Baccarat's Casino, but I have tips for Pickham's casino if you aren't at this point in the game. If anyone has alternate methods, or tips not found here, e-mail me, and I'll be happy to take the time to look at them. If they seem to hold up in the game, I'll add them to the guide and give proper credit. Please tell me how you would like your name to appear (if you'd like it to appear with your submissions).

This can not be avoided because the casino only contains games of chance. On a lighter note, once you accumulate a nice sum of tokens, you will not have to reset as often. As one of the NPC's mentions, Roulette is where it's at. Take your tokens and head on over to the Roulette table. Basics of Roulette *This is incase you're not familiar with the game of roulette. You can skip this if you know how this game works. The Game Roulette is a game that uses a ball which is spun around the Roulette wheel which has many divets marked with individual numbers. DQVIII uses the numbers You can place a bet of up to tokens on each spot. There are many kinds of bets that can be made on the Roulette table. Once you are done placing your bets, the ball is spun around the Roulette wheel Types of Bets Reference the Table Layout in Section if you need clarification of bets that I mention. Basically, The fewer numbers your bet covers, the higher the payout. I'll list each bet type and it's payout. a.) Single Number Bets: Betting on just one number The hardest to win, but has the highest payout. A Single Number Bet is made by placing chips directly on the number. Payout Ratio, b.) Double Number Bets: Betting on two adjoined numbers These are bets like or A Double Number Bet is made by placing chips in between the 2 numbers you are betting on. Payout Ratio, c.) Quadruple Number Bets: Betting on a 2x2 square of numbers. These are bets like A Quadruple Number Bet is made by placing chips in the corner that all four numbers have in common. Note: Placing this bet on the left side of the board changes the bet into a Triple Number Bet that has a higher ratio and is comprised of 0 with either 1&2 or 2&3. Payout Ratio, d.) Column Bets: Betting on 1x3 rows. These are bets like A Column Bet is made by placing chips on the line below the lowest number in a column. Payout Ratio, e.) Two Column Bets: Betting on 2 adjoined 1x3 Rows. These are bets like / A Two Column Bet is made by placing chips on the same line for Column Bets, in between the two columns you are betting on. Note: Placing this bet on the columns 0/ gives a higher ratio. Payout Ratio, f.) Row Bets: Betting on 1x9 rows. These bets are made on the right side of the table in the box with the arrow. A bet like this could be the the row of Payout Ratio, g.) Nonuple(nine) Number Bets: Betting on a 3x3 square of numbers. These bets are made with the arrows on the bottom of the table. These are bets like 1 through 9, 10 through 18, or 19 through Payout Ratio, h.) Even or Odd Bets: Betting on all Even or Odd numbers. These bets are made with the bottom-most boxes on the far left or right. Evens and Odds do not cover 0. Payout Ratio, i.) Red or Blue Bets: Betting on all Red or Blue numbers. These bets are made with the middle boxes in the bottom row of the Roulette table. Reds and Blues do not cover 0. Payout Ratio, First Token Winning Method ************************************************************************* !!!IMPORTANT!!! ************************************************************************* Save before you make your first bet! ************************************************************************* !!!IMPORTANT!!! ************************************************************************* The First Bet The first bets you're going to make are a Row Bet and Nonuple bet(nine squares), See Section (f & g) for explanations. You can make those bets on any of the choices for those kinds of bets because it's technically the same chance with any combination of winning. You will bet half on each of those bets( tokens each). How much you win depends on which spot wins. If the number is contained in both bets, then you'll win 1, tokens, if it is just one of the bets, you'll now have tokens. Which bet you make now depends on how much you won. (This bet could be Nonuple 1 through 9 & Row ) If you don't win on this first bet, reset and do it again until you do win. 42 The Next Bets *NOTE* I recommend saving again *NOTE* Tokens- You basically do the same bet as the first one, but the amounts are different. You can split the tokens in half for each bet again, or you can max one with Once you win this, you should have enough for 1, bets. 1, Tokens- You keep the two bets from the first bet, but you add one of the Evens/Odds, or Reds/Blues. Max all three with token bets. Repeat until you have at least 4, tokens. The Middle Bets *NOTE* You will now be maxing all bets when possible *NOTE* 4, Tokens- This uses different bets. You take all the numbers in one of the three groups of Nonuple bets, but do 9 "Single Number Bets" with them. You can max each one with tokens. 5, Tokens- This uses the same bets as 4,, but you add the "Nonuple Bet" on the group of 9 numbers you're betting on. 6, Tokens- This uses the same bets accumulated through the 5, Token Bets, but you add 2 "Two Column Bets" inside the Nonuple set you've been betting in. 44 The Higher Bets 7, Tokens- This uses all the bets made so far, and adds the 3 "Column Bets" of the Nonuple set. 9, Tokens- This uses all the bets made so far, and adds the 4 "Quadruple Bets" contained within the Nonuple set. 45 The Highest Bets 15, Tokens- This uses all the bets made so far, and adds the 6 horizontal "Double Number Bets" & 6 vertical "Double Number Bets" of the Nonuple set. The payout for this bet can be 50, tokens! *Optional* 16,/16, Tokens- *Optional* This uses all the bets made so far, and adds Even/Odd and/or Red/Blue bets. This is optional because it doesn't really help earn much, if any, more because of the 50/50 chance of them helping. 21, Tokens- You probably won't be making any higher bets. My explanation of why it isn't as useful will be at the bottom. It is possible to make higher bets though. So you will be adding all bets that cover any one of the numbers in the middle third of the board. Bets added: Double Number Bets: , , , , , Quadruple Number Bets: , , , Two Column Bets: 0/, / The only reason you would use this bet is if you save after every win. Using the 21, Token Bet you can win, on average, 4, tokens more with a win. But if you continually bet whether you win or lose, then you will be losing 6, tokens more with every loss, and you will probably be losing more spins than winning. 00 Baccarat's Casino - Alternate Methods _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Explanation Alternate Methods will be labeled with the games they use as follows. R-Roulette SM *number*- Slot Machine with bet minimum B - Bingo Submitted Methods Starting with Single Bets (R/SM ) This method uses the Token reward. Place 6 Single Number bets. Once you get a winner, you'll have 2, tokens. Save, then use the Token Slot Machine. Max Bet each spin. If you run out of tokens, just reset. Once you have gained 10, or more, save again. You'll be able to leave it with a turbo controller after that. Submitted By: DarrcEnigma Starting with Low Slots (SM 10/SM ) This method uses the Token reward. Head to the Token Slot Machine blocked by a man. Talk to him and pay him to move. The payout for this machine seems to be higher than normal. Max Bet each spin. Once you have gained 10, or more, save again. Then head over to the Token Slot Machine. Max Bet each spin here as well. Submitted By: [email protected] Guaranteed No Reset Roulette (R) This method starts after you've earned or bought 2, Tokens. You will be Max Betting 5 "Two Column" Bets. The Bets will be of the columns "0/1,2,3" & "4,5,6/7,8,9" & "10,11,12/13,14,15" & "16,17,18/ 19,20,21" & "22,23,24/25,26,27" Refer to Section e for help in placing "Two Column" Bets. (Comments: You can use this method to gain enough Tokens to play the Slot Machines, or make bigger bets.) Submitted By: Nigganez A Different Way To Get To The Top (R) This method starts after you've obtained at least 2, tokens. You first place "Two-Column Bets" that will cover two consecutive Nonuple sets. This could be placing the "Two-Column Bets" / / & / Together, those three bets will cover two sets of nonuples. And to help the payout, you place the two "Nonuple Number Bets" that cover the same numbers. This bet has some good odds, so you should win pretty often, but the payout won't be as great. You will roughly double your bet, so you can use this to get to the Higher Bets. Submitted By: Hug Daddy Reds/Odds (R) This method has you place max bets on Reds & Odds, then all the Single Number Bets that are Red and Odd. Submitted By: Spiderbushi Alternate "The Next Bets" (R) This method is used in place of the & 1, Token bets. You can continue on to "The Middle Bets" once you've earned 4, Tokens. You pick any of the 3 Nonuples, and spread all your tokens evenly on the numbers within that set for 9 Single Number Bets. So, if you have Tokens, you would place Token bets on all 9 numbers. After each win, split up your total tokens for the 9 bets again.

It is still technically possible to win tokens here though. It's a pretty simple process, but can take a lot of your time. Buy a few coins, maybe Save your game, and come back to the casino. I would recommend betting low enough so that you can get 5 to 10 games out of them so you aren't resetting right away. Submitted Methods From Slots to Bingo It is suggested you buy enough tokens to play enough so you don't have to reset too frequently, possibly As suggested in the Tips & Hints section, use the left-hand slot machine. Once you have accumulated tokens, you can proceed to the bingo table. Don't forget to save. You can make five token bets which has a decent chance of gaining tokens without reseting. Once you have , you can save again and start betting on each bet. Then you just stay on large bets at the bingo table to accrue your fortune of tokens early on in the game.

They have a low sell price, but it's tied for best sell ratio per token with the Prayer Rings. *update* It seems selling Prayer Rings in mass amounts doesn't lower their selling price. Again, if this needs correcting, I would very much appreciate an e-mail. * Having a controller with turbo can let you stay on a slot machine with a heavy object holding the up button, and you will keep max betting over and over. You can leave the game for school, dinner, or sleeping. *update* You can also do this with the Bingo table while keeping the "x" button held down. * Hold down Circle when placing the largest bets on the Roulette table. When you push the directional buttons, it'll continue maxing bets at each spot it comes to so you can get through placing the bets a little faster. * Take note of any numbers that you see come up a lot on Roulette. I placed seperate Single Number Bets while I was playing on 12, 16, 21, & 25 because they seemed to show up an unusual number of times for me. Quite often when I lost a spin I hit one of those numbers and only ended up losing a couple thousand tokens. If you do find your own numbers that show up often, then this can help make more tokens, and cut down on the number of times you have to reset. *_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* Casino Prizes _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Baccarat's Prizes Prize Name Price Sell Price a.)
