Gambling is one of the ways to make money in the game. There are three places at which the player can gamble: Gambleville, the Casino and the Benjamin Club. Since the Benjamin Club is a rich establishment, the maximum bets there are many times higher than the other two establishments. There are four games which one can play: Blackjack, Roulette, Slots, and Unicorn Racing. Due to the save mechanic in the game, if the player loses too much money in a single sitting, the game can be reset to regain the money lost. Therefore, if one has enough patience, the player can potentially make a lot of money by gambling. The Hustler achievement is gained by earning $50,000 gambling.
