Is it poker? Baccarat? Roulette? Slots?

As a Swimsuit Swordmaster casino, surely it must have some form of gambling.
I happily pay out as much QP as anyone could want once they exchange it for tokens.

With my casino, what you see is what you get: traditional orthodox slot machines.

You should enjoy yourself too now that you've made it out here to Vegas, [%1].

Just make sure you bring plenty of war chests to spare. Things move much more quickly at Suiten Palace than they do at other casinos, you see.

If you want to play more than a single game, you'll have to break out the big QP.
