Clash Casino
Upon exiting the elevator you are greeted by a garish display of color and sound. The dull tones of the elevator replaced by a luxurious red carpet stretching outwards into this area. It doesn't take you long to recognize that this floor in its entirety is a casino. Just from the pillar that is the elevator of the building you can see a full third of this floor is dedicated to a single massive roulette table, covering the distance between the elevator and the center of the room. Further investigation of the giant roulette reveals it has 3 seats for dealers and another 16 for participants.
Your gaze extends to the center of the room where a massive circular pillar extends upwards, covered in an incredible number of decals featuring the faces of cards and suites as if to further declare the purpose of this floor. Roughly around eye level an opening can be seen in the pillar surrounding it in a full circle, revealing that while the pillar appears to be gigantic and solid, a hollow space large enough for someone to walk around the inner pillar exists. The opening seems to form a kind of counter to what you presume is a Casino Cage where you can go purchase chips or cash those chips out.
A walk around the edge of the room reveals that from the pillar at the center extends three walls, one running directly north from the pillar away from the elevator and two more running roughly southeast and southwest, cutting the room into thirds while still leaving a walkway to circle the entire three areas. You can access the Casino Cage counter from each of the areas and it seems the same attendant can follow you around the area whilst remaining in the cage.
As you realize the general layout of the casino you also determine the general theme of each of the other two thirds of the floor. One of the thirds, the north east third, is dedicated to slot machines of varying difficulty. They line up in several rows extending outwards from the Casino Cage pillar with the higher reward machines closest to the cage.
The last third, the north west, appears to be dedicated to various card and dice games as many able are setup here with white markings atop the table to indicate how to place cards. Atop each of these tables are two decks of cards and a handful of six sided dice.
You also notice tinted windows running along the entire edge of this floor, allowing you to look out upon the starless city as its ever present dim twilight fills the casino. Echoing from somewhere you can almost hear the sound of a piano playing some somber music, giving this twilight casino a haunted feel.
