Games
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
- 7 7 7 - 100 coins
- Three Team Galactic symbols - 100 coins
- Three Poké Balls - 2 coins
- Three Moon Stones - 15 coins
- Three Pikachu - 10 coins
- Three Replays - Replay or 15 coins (in Bonus Round)
Bonus Round
As the game is played, occasionally a Poké Ball will roll up on the Touch Screen. They make the reels "sticky" and almost guarantee a win. 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 Template:Shiny2 one, or one that appears to be a Transformed Ditto. Once the Clefairy appears, 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 fifteen 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 with 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, talking to the woman behind the counter will yield players TM64 (Explosion). 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.
Occasionally, the moon on the touch screen will glow red during a spin, and according to an NPC in the game corner, getting a replay when the moon is red "makes Clefairy tired." Because of this, following Clefairy's instructions during a red moon could cause the bonus round to end.
However, the moon may also occasionally glow bright white, and following Clefairy's instructions will almost always guarantee that Clefairy will stay for another bonus round.
Trivia
- The music in the Game Corner is a techno remix of the Rocket Game Corner in Kanto. It is also similar to the music played in real-life pachinko parlors.
- The music during the Clefairy Bonus Round is a remix of the Mt. Moon Square theme from Gold and Silver.
- Maylene's father can be met here. After the Stark Mountain storyline, Looker also comes here.
- Due to the removal of slot machines in European versions of Platinum in favor of game machines, dialog and other text inside the Game Corner has been altered to remove references to the slot machines and their gameplay. The only person whose dialog wasn't changed is the coin salesman. TM64 is given away at random by the Game Corner attendant.
