Casino overview
The casino is optional. It is for fun, achievements, and leaderboards. It uses Zoo Dollars, not animals. See the Economy guide for more.
Everything is risk-based. The upside is glory, achievements, and bragging rights.
Know before you spin:
Casino results never change your catch rates. It is a separate playground.
Roulette
Choose red, black, green, or a number. Spin the wheel and win based on your bet.
Slots
Spin the reels. Three matching symbols wins. Triple 7 is the big win.
Pig
Roll a die to build a round score. Bank it any time, but rolling a 1 wipes the round.
How to start
- Run /casino to pick a game.
- Zoo Dollars are separate from animal counts.
- Wins and losses affect casino leaderboards, not your animal collection.
Roulette odds and payouts
- There are 37 outcomes (0 to 36).
- Green (0) is 1 out of 37.
- Red and black are 18 out of 37 each.
- Betting a number or green pays 36x.
- Betting red or black pays 2x.
Plain English: Red/black is safer but smaller. Green is rare but huge.
Roulette bet types
- Color bets: red or black. Most common choice.
- Green bet: bold, rare win. Best for high-risk achievements.
- Number bet: pick one number for the biggest payout.
Slots odds
- Six symbols appear on each reel.
- Any three of a kind wins.
- Triple 7 is the big win and can unlock special rewards.
- The server can set a small extra chance for triple 7 (default is about 1 in 216).
Tip: Slots are best for chasing the 777 debt clear and slot achievements.
Slots flow (what you’ll see)
- Click Spin to roll the reels.
- If the symbols match, the bot announces the win.
- Triple 7 triggers a special highlight and the Remove Debt button if you are in debt.
Pig strategy basics
- Bank early if you have a steady lead.
- High-risk pushes can win leaderboards, but bust often.
- Pig rewards the calm player, not the reckless one.
Think of Pig as “safe steps” versus “one big leap.” Both can win — your risk tolerance decides the path.
Example roulette bet
If you bet 50 on red and red wins, your payout is 100. If green wins, you lose the bet.
Example Pig round
You roll a 4 and a 5 (round total 9). You can bank 9 or keep rolling. Rolling a 1 wipes the round score back to 0.
Most players bank when they hit a comfortable number rather than chase perfection.
Where casino progress shows up
- Casino wins can unlock achievements.
- Roulette and Pig each have their own leaderboard types.
- Slots big wins tie into the debt mechanic and unlock the Remove Debt button.
Debt, explained simply
Some actions can drop an animal count below zero, which creates debt. Debt is a special state tied to slots.
- If you hit triple 7 while in debt, the bot offers a Remove Debt button.
- Clicking it clears negative animal counts back to zero.
- This also unlocks a debt-related achievement once per server.
Why it exists: it turns a bad streak into a cinematic comeback moment.
Achievement chase: roulette and pig
If you are chasing casino achievements, focus on one game at a time. The triggers are tied to single outcomes.
- Roulette Prodigy: green is the win. It is rare, so plan for patience.
- Pig milestones: a safe bank strategy will eventually unlock the high-score achievements.
- Slots achievements: total spins matter, not just wins.
Responsible play
- Casino is optional. Your zoo progress does not require it.
- Set your own limits on Zoo Dollars and stick to them.
- Chasing an achievement is fun, but it’s okay to stop when it stops feeling fun.
Casino tips
- Play for achievements, not to solve your economy.
- Stop early if you’re chasing a streak — those streaks reset fast.
- Want story hooks? Slots are tied to the debt mechanic in the Economy guide.
