Pokemon Platinum Slot Machine

Odds in the slot machines are a thing. You can put your emulator in slow motion and see that sometimes a machine is impossible because it will keep going after you press the button, or with a good odds machine you can click wrong and it will keep scrolling until it hits. The odds of the machines are randomized each time you enter the room though.

• Unable to find the encounter slots online for the Pokemon games and after listening to the concerns of other players, I decided to take the initiative and host them myself. Of course I take no credit for determining the slots in the game-huge thanks to all the developers and data miners for that! I'm just trying to make the encounter slots a.
• Celadon City Slot Tip All of the slot machines have different odds, which change every time. To win big, play each machine 4 times, and if it hits 2 or more, then stick with that one, because it's.

The Veilstone Game Corner (Japanese: トバリゲームコーナーTobari Game Corner) is a Game Corner located in Veilstone City, Sinnoh.

In the games

In Korean versions of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, due to the illegality of gambling in South Korea and the classifications standards of the Game Rating Board, the slot machines were replaced with game machines. The dialogue and other text was also altered to remove references to the slot machines and their functionality. TM64 (Explosion) is instead given away at random by the Game Corner attendant as part of a TM promotion.

These changes were later also made in European releases of Pokémon Platinum, as a result of changes in the classification standards at PEGI^[1], including in the United Kingdom English version.

The music played here is similar to the one heard in real-life pachinko parlors.

Slot machines

There are sixteen slot machines in the Game Corner, with four of them having people already seated at them.

Each spin of the machine takes 3 coins, which are inserted by pressing the X button. Reels will start spinning either when the D-pad is pressed down or the X button is pressed again. Y stops the left reel, B stops the middle, and A stops the right.

Payouts

Bonus Round

As the game is played, occasionally a Poké Ball will roll up on the Touch Screen. They make the reels 'sticky' and guarantee a win, whereas a win is normally impossible if a Ball does not appear. The type of win depends on the Ball:

• Poké Ball : Three Poké Balls
• Premier Ball: Three of something Random
• Great Ball: Three Replays
• Ultra Ball: Three Pikachu
• Safari Ball: Three Moon Stones

Randomly, a Clefairy will pop out of the Poké Ball on the touch screen, and can be either a normal one, a Shiny one, or one that appears to be a transformedDitto. Which kind of Clefairy appears indicates how likely the Bonus Round is to repeat; a transformed Ditto indicates a lower chance to repeat, a Clefairy indicates a moderate chance, and a Shiny Clefairy indicates a high chance. If Pikachu appears after the round is complete, it will be more likely to repeat (it will be less likely to repeat if Clefairy appears again). Players must continue spinning the reels until they get a 100-coin bonus. The odds of getting the bonus seem to improve if the slots are activated to the beat of Clefairy's clapping.

At this point the bonus round will begin. It only costs one coin to spin the reels while in the bonus round; after the reels begin spinning, the Clefairy will indicate which reel to stop first; left is Y, up is B, and right is A. Each time this is done correctly, three replays will be made possible, at 15 coins apiece. If the player does not follow Clefairy's instructions, but gets three of one image (including replays) coins will not be given. Each bonus round has 15 spins, meaning that a perfect one yields 210 coins.

After 15 spins, the Clefairy will either stay for another bonus round or it will return to its Poké Ball and the bonus will end. This seems to be random. If ten or more bonus rounds are played in a row, the woman behind the counter will give TM64 (Explosion) as a prize after the first time this has been achieved. In order to obtain the TM, the player must lose a bonus round sometime after their tenth consecutive round; pressing Start to end the 'Slot Session' will not count as having played 10 games in a row and will, in turn, not yield TM64. The TM is only given out once.

Occasionally, the moon on the touch screen will glow red during a spin. Getting a replay when the moon is red makes Clefairy tired, so following Clefairy's instructions during a red moon makes the Bonus Round less likely to repeat.

On the other hand, the moon may also occasionally glow bright white. Following Clefairy's instructions will guarantee that Clefairy will stay for another bonus round.

Service counter

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

The Veilstone Game Corner first appeared in Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I. Platinum wandered into it by accident, mistaking it for a hotel. In no time, she was sucked into the gaming, having to be forcibly dragged away by Pearl when he and Diamond came looking for her. Diamond proceeded to exchange the coins Platinum had won for a Zoom Lens. The next day, Maylene's father tried to talk Platinum, who was passing by, into trying the slot machines, but she refused. This is also the location where Diamond first encountered Team Galactic in Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank I while recovering the Pokédex Platinum had accidentally left behind.

Pokemon Gold Slot Machine

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl! Adventure manga

The Veilstone Game Corner appeared in Deoxys, The Phantom Pokémon! (Part 2). At the beginning of the chapter, Hareta and Mitsumi were seen playing the slots. Hareta was winning trays full of Coins while Mitsumi couldn't win at all--a possible reference to the actual differences in luck between the slot machines in the games. At the end of the chapter, Hareta returned to the Game Corner, only to find out that Mitsumi still hadn't won once, and was determined not to leave until she finally did.

Trivia

• The background music for the Veilstone Game Corner remixes part of the theme for the Rocket Game Corner.
• The background music that plays when Clefairy appears is a sped-up remix of the Mt. Moon Square background theme. The bonus round music further speeds it up.
• Maylene's father can be met here. He says that nothing is going his way, and asks if the player is a Trainer or has battled the Gym Leader. Looker can also be found here both before the player has obtained the Cobble Badge and after the Stark Mountain storyline.
• The sign outside the Game Corner says to 'Aim for an Explosion of Luck', as a pun on the TM64 prize; the woman behind the counter makes the same pun before giving the TM.
  • After giving the TM, the woman says to keep playing for 'another explosion of good luck'. Despite this, she only gives TM64 once per save file.

The Game Corner has been a staple of every Pokemon game up to Generation IV. Here you can buy coins, test your luck, and win fabulous prizes, including new Pokemon and TMs you won't get anywhere else.

The Basics

You'll need a Coin Case, to be found in the restauraunt from the guy with the glasses along the main strip of buildings below where the Rocket Game Corner is. At the main desk in Game Corner (in the top left corner) you can buy 50 coins for 1000P. Unlike more recent titles, there is no 500 coins for 10000P option: you're stuck mashing the A-button unless you decide to play a few games. Make sure you look around everywhere on the ground in the Game Corner: there are plenty of free coins other people have dropped, to be found as you would with any other hidden item. Your Itemfinder won't pick them up, though.

Slots and Games

The only game in the casino is a slot machine-style game. Insert however many coins you want (1, 2 or 3, which add more rows on the slots where you can win prizes) and try and line up the same picture. A triple 7 yields 300 coins, three BAR yield 100 coins, three Poliwag, Diglett, or Jigglypuff win 15 coins, and three cherries earn 8 coins. Go hog wild.

Prizes

TMs

TM23 Dragon Rage: 3300 Coins A decent move and the only Dragon-type one in the game. Will always deal 40HP damage to anything regardless of type, stats, or weakness. Can be learned by the Dragons and dragonesque Pokemon including Charizard and Aerodactyl. You can probably figure out better options for these Pokemon later in the game but if you have some money to blow after the fourth badge it can be helpful to have a set damage attack.

TM15 Hyper Beam: 5500 Coins A very powerful Normal-type move. 150 Base Power, but forces you to recharge after using if you don't faint the enemy. Attach it to a strong and fast Pokemon with great Attack power (like Gyarados) and go hog wild.

TM50 Substitute: 7700 Coins A support move which creates a miniature doll of your Pokemon using a bit of its health to absorb stat-drops, conditions, and damage until its threshold is reached and it breaks. Not as useful as in later generations but can still be used for a good strategy or two.

Pokemon#030 Nidorina/ #033 Nidorino: 1200 Coins If you didn't catch one of the Poison-type Nidorans earlier in the game you can get their evolved forms here. Both save you a bit of time training and are pretty good when you evolve them. If you forgot to get a Moon Stone, there's one in the Rocket Hideout in the basement or one at Cinnabar Island.

#035 Clefairy: 500 Coins (Red) 750 Coins (Blue) Again, this can make up for not getting one of these rare little buggers in Mt. Moon. It too evolves with a Moon Stone and learns a few good Special moves. Normal-type.

#063 Abra: 120 Coins (Blue) 180 Coins (Red) Makes catching this little Psychic-type a heck of a lot easier now that he can't escape with Teleport. Evolves into a Pokemon with one of the best Special stats in the game (albeit reaching his last form via trade).

#123 Scyther: 5500 Coins (Red) A formidable Bug/Flying-type Pokemon with great Speed and Attack. Only found in the Red Version and in the Safari Zone, he's much easier to get with slots than randomly tossing balls at him and hoping for the best.

#127 Pinsir: 2500 Coins (Blue) Another Bug-type Pokemon with a killer stat set version exclusive, this time Pokemon Blue. Again, only found in the Safari Zone for the rest of the game.

#139 Porygon: 6500 Coins (Blue) 9999 Coins (Red) Exclusive to the slots, Porygon is very expensive in both versions. If you're looking for a strong battler, it's not going to be Porygon, though it has a fun novelty to it you could try and make work with its strong movepool. Normal-type.

#147 Dratini: 2800 Coins (Red) 4600 Coins (Blue) The only Dragon-type family in the game is found in its genesis only here and at the Safari Zone. Extremely rare and learns a myriad of great attacks, Dratini would make a smooth addition to any team.
