Episode 225: The House Always Wins (International Casinos Day)

It’s time to deal with today’s celebration of International Casinos Day, held on May 15th, which happens to be the founding day of Las Vegas. Created by an online site, the day was intended honor the casinos and gambling halls of the world but not just for the slot machines and card tables; it was also to honor those behind the scenes that keep the buildings in order and the bets flowing across the table: the hosts, the dealers, security, housekeeping, maintenance, etc. It was mean to allow people to share their experiences within the casinos, at least in a positive way. This week, we’re playing tracks from video game that feature casinos in some fashion: a blue hedgehog running through the neon lights, a wasteland made bearable with several casinos, and two gang members caught in a conflict. There’s also covers and remixes with these original tracks. Now let’s step up to the table, check your chips and cards, and place your bets…   “International Casinos Day” Casino Night Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2) Fallout New Vegas: Casinos Yakuza 0: Gambling Games     Track Listing “Casino Night Zone (2P)” – [Sonic the Hedgehog 2] – composed by Masato Nakamura “Casino Night Zone (2 Player) – Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (New Jack Swing Remix)” – remixed by S.A Music “Main Theme” – [Fallout New Vegas] – composed by Inon Zur “Fallout New Vegas – Main Theme (Metal Remix)” – remixed by Slipshod “As You Like” – [Yakuza 0] – composed by Saori Yoshida, vocals by Mio Kouchi “As You Like – Yakuza 0 (piano cover)” – covered by purplechala   YouTube playlist Discord channel     Source
