Lore:
Mann Co. Beto Co. has settled in a City dedicated purely to the Casino business. Hoping to earn more cash to save the company, the mercs try their luck on the games. Unfortunately, the robots have arrived and they are here to destroy all your hard-earned chips. Stop them! It's High Stakes mode! You will lose all chips and prizes if the bomb hatch is destroyed, so spend wisely!

My Review:
At first glance I disliked this map until I realized what the creator was aiming for and also because I played the older version of it. The ammo packs and health packs are easily defined. Most sections and escape routes of Casino City provide beautiful shortcuts, escape routes, and most of all entertaining games. The tanks with their sentries on top are a new, welcoming enemy to enjoy. For new players, it can easily be confusing, but they will always find themselves wanting to return to this place. I find it entertaining that you can entertain yourself with games after the first wave while your allies can easily go AFK to take a piss, eat, grab water and even take a shit if they want to.

The only complaint that I could have is the Helicopter's poor functionality, the fact that the left ramp exit from the spawn is basically overlooked and useless (If only this ramp lead to a casino game of some sorts I'd like it more or even better... It was actually another shortcut that helped you getting to enemy robots faster!). This map is a revolutionary, a whole new way of viewing Mann Versus Machine and therefore I give it a 5/5 as you can easily overlook what is negative about it in a heartbeat. The players enjoyed it so much and so did I. It connects community and that is the heart of this map.

*All buttons are melee only to prevent accidental pressing.*

------------------------------------------------CHIPS------------------------------------------------
"Chips" (or previously known as Tickets), are the secondary currency used in the map. They are independent from MvM money packs currency.

To earn chips, collect dropped Chips Cases from "chips carriers" (A bot carrying a Tickets Case [custom content pending]). The Chips Case Bot will spawn at times defined in the popfile. Even though the Chip Case Bot is treated like a Bomb Bot, it is prevented from capping the hatch. Instead, the bot will deduct 3 Chips from your pot if it reaches the hatch.

Warning: If the bomb hatch is destroyed, all chips and prizes will be lost.

------------------------------------------------SHOP------------------------------------------------
Spend Chips at the Shop in the main spawn. Prices are in white numbers. The Chips booth in the center will display your current chips balance.

------------------------------------------------GAMES------------------------------------------------
Games are located around the middle section of the map where the subway is. The entrances are black voids that teleport you to the game area.

To play the game, first purchase a credit by buying one from the purchase button to the left side (price is the white number).

After purchasing a game credit, the play button(s) to the right will unlock. For roulette, the buttons will lock while the wheel stops spinning, but your credit is still saved and the buttons will unlock again.

------------------------------------------------Prizes------------------------------------------------
Speed: Grants a boost effect and is penalized with marked for death.​

Power: Grants mini crits and is penalized with marked for death.​

Nuke: When pressed, the button will destroy everything Blu, including all bots and all tanks. There is a damage cap of 20k.​

EMP: When pressed, the button will disable all bots for 20 seconds. The bots get the "gate bot disabled" effect as seen in Mannhattan.

Shield: Grants a hatch shield that will damage any bot or tank that enters its area. The shield acts similar to medic's projectile shield, except that the shield will break at a damage cap of 3k damage.

Heli: A drivable, weaponized helicopter! If the pilot ejects, the heli comes crashing down in a huge explosion. Controls at the bottom.

Hydrogen Bomb: [CLASSIFIED] [REDACTED]

Special: Purchase with 999 chips for something special.
