Casino Tycoon (video game)

Casino Tycoon is a business simulation video game genre that tasks the player with designing, building, and managing a successful casino. Typical gameplay involves acquiring land, designing the layout of the casino floor with various gambling games and amenities, hiring staff, attracting customers, managing finances, and competing against rival casinos. The player must balance customer satisfaction, operational costs, and security to maximize profits and maintain a positive reputation.

Success in Casino Tycoon games often relies on understanding different casino games, managing odds, and strategically placing attractions to encourage higher spending. Later installments in the series, or similar titles, may also incorporate elements like dealing with high rollers, preventing cheating, managing events and promotions, and navigating complex regulations or organized crime elements. The game's appeal lies in its combination of creative design elements with strategic business management within the colorful and potentially volatile environment of a casino.
