{{main|Slot machine}}
The main feature of the Game Center is a series of six slot machines. These slot machines, unlike those found in the [[core series]], are automated and the reels are not stopped by the player. There are two different levels of play: the white slot machines require a wager of one coin while the gold machines require five.
 
The pictures on the slot reels are the six (at the time) TCG {{TCG|type}}s as well as a Rainbow type; if the reels stop on three of the Rainbow icons, a special game (with sprites of Dragonite, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and a bag full of coins) is played where the player can win 100/500 coins (depending on whether the 1/5 coin machines are being played) or a present pack containing energy cards.
 
==Coin flip==
A girl in the Game Center offers a coin-flipping minigame. The game costs one coin to play. If {{TCG GB|Mark}} or {{TCG GB|Mint}} can get three or more heads in a row, they can win more coins as prize money, and if they get ten heads in a row the girl will give them a {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mew|47}} Lv. 8. Any number of tails equals an automatic loss.
 
The prizes for winning in the game are as follows:

==Evolution machine==
There is a special machine in the Game Center that will "evolve" a Pokémon card. When one of the compatible Pokémon is selected, the player will receive the evolved form of the Pokémon in the mail. This machine requires 20 coins and a {{TCG ID|Vending|Bill's PC|S3}} card to operate.
 
The following cards can be obtained this way: {{TCG ID|Communication Evolution Campaign|Omastar|promo}}, {{TCG ID|Communication Evolution Campaign|Machamp|promo}}, {{TCG ID|Communication Evolution Campaign|Golem|promo}}, {{TCG ID|Communication Evolution Campaign|Gengar|promo}}, and {{TCG ID|Communication Evolution Campaign|Alakazam|promo}}. The five cards were distributed as physical {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards}} in a similar manner in Japan.
 
==Black box==
At the back of the Game Center, there is a large machine which the player can trade cards in. In many cases, if the player deposit five cards into the machine, a new card will be mailed to them. In the case of certain rare cards, the player would receive all of the rare cards back in addition to some random cards matching the card type; for instance, a player dropping either Mew or the Venusaur from the above games will often get that card back in addition to cards of the matching type. If multiple rare cards are returned, the type of the random cards is randomly selected. In such an exchange, the player may receive anywhere from 1-5 random cards in addition to the cards returned.<!--This has been tested and confirmed.--> A set of five cards that are capable of evolving will be kept by the machine and an evolution card, which is believed to be a random evolution card of that species and can include the Dark evolution type in the case of the first card in a pair of Dark evolutions, is sent to the player.
 
==Card Dungeon==
In the Card Dungeon, the player can play a series of card [[duel (TCG GB)|duels]] against the five [[Dungeon Master]]s. After each duel, if the player wins, there is also a wager of tokens. If the player wins this wager, the prize is double the chips wagered. A loss forfeits wagered chips. No packs are awarded in these battles; the only purpose of these battles is to build a player's coin bank.
 
There are five opponents in the dungeon who must be battled in order and with increasing amounts of wagers, ending with a possible 100 coin wager on Queen. The prize cards per battle also increase towards the end of the dungeon.
