A deck of cards against a thousand rats, a 777 on the slots, and the night paid.

Dusk, the night Rocco gets lucky

The catch

Rocco "The Bandit" won the worst casino in town in a rigged card game. Then the Rat Boss explained the rules.

Don Vermino

Winner takes the casino. Congratulations, kid.

Nice place. Shame if something happened to it.

The bill's due Friday. Every Friday.

Midnight

One night, start to dawn

Every night the Rat Mob sends its boys to wreck the place. Come Friday, the Boss wants his envelope.

The game's HUD: Rocco's hearts, the sack of gold filling as he earns, and the clock running down to dawn.

  1. 01

    Fight

    Rocco fights with a deck of cards. The Boss pays his goons in advance, so knock one out and his pockets spill.

  2. 02

    Grab the coins

    Every coin goes in the sack, and the sack is what pays the bill. Spend it on slots or the casino instead, and you'd better win it back.

  3. 03

    Pay by Friday

    Friday at dawn the Boss collects, and every week the bill is bigger. Paid: the casino is yours for another week. Short: you're run out of town.

3 AM, the floor gets loud

Bet it all

In development

Every spend is a bet. Gold that goes into slots or the casino is gold the Boss doesn't get, so it had better pay.

Slot machine

The Mob rigged these years ago. Rocco knows how to make them pay him instead.

Pull the lever. Sometimes the house pays you.

Gold in the sack: 300

Lockboxes

Stand close and it opens. No click needed. Inside: a burst of gold, or a moth.

Where the gold goes

Pull a slot. Rebuild the casino. Or keep it in the sack for Friday. The bill doesn't care which.

4 AM, everybody's here

The usual suspects

  • Rocco "The Bandit"

    Small-time thief. Too lucky to be honest.

  • The Thug

    Hired muscle in a black suit. Paid in advance.

  • Don Vermino

    A reasonable rat. Wants his envelope.

5 AM, between nights

Build the casino

In development

The casino Rocco wins is a boarded-up dump. Between nights he spends gold to rebuild it, zone by zone. The rats never renovate.
