POINTS OF INTEREST
1. MAINTENANCE ROOM 28
Have a look at the poster map and you’ll notice that Americana Casino is home to the 28th maintenance room.
Combine the lizard mask and fountain frework you discover inside the room to form the fountain lizard combo weapon, and merge the battery with the wheelchair that’s right outside the room to build the electric chair.
2. SWORD FIGHT
Sure, you noticed all of those electric guitars on americana Casino’s walls, but did you spot the broadswords? three of them adorn the walls: one is near the small north security office, and another is on the opposite wall, just to the south.
The third wall-mounted broadsword is found near the door to platinum Strip. Broadswords are awesome, but don’t take our word for it—grab one and slay for yourself.
3. UP IN ARMS
Swords are great, but you might prefer a bit more range. Find two handguns in Americana Casino’s small, north security room — these are always accessible.
After you complete Case 3-1, you’ll also gain access to the northwest cashier/vault area; here you can always find a rapid-fire assault rifle.
4. WILD WEST POKER DRAW!
Inspect Americana Casino’s east wall to discover a special video poker minigame. Pay the game’s low buy-in to draw your hand of fve cards, which light up on the wall.
After drawing your hand, choose which cards you wish to keep by standing in front of them and pressing the interact button when the “hold” command appears. Hit the draw button on the far left a second time to swap out any cards you didn’t hold onto for new ones.
The goal is to make your best five-card poker hand.
The higher the hand you make after your second draw, the more cash you’ll win. If you’re not familiar with poker, here are the best possible hands, from 1(most rare) to 10 (most common).
Keep in mind that the highest hands are extremely difficult to make — keep it simple and try for pairs for the best odds of making money.

5. CASH ME IF YOU CAN
Just north of the casino’s central bar, Shots & Awe, stands a special minigame booth. Pay $100 to hop inside, then mash the indicated button as fast as you can to grab all the cash you can carry.
The faster you hit that button, the more moola you’ll pocket.

Ready for more minigames? Mosey just west of Cash me if you Can to locate Thunder, the mechanical bull. Hop on and hold on tight as you press the onscreen buttons before they vanish.
Taming this raging bull isn’t easy but doing so earns you signifcant PP — and the more times you win, the more PP you can earn.
7. PREMIUM BLEND
The casino’s central bar, Shots & Awe, sports a very special object: a Blender. Chuck can throw any two food or drink items into blenders To create powerful mixed drinks that bestow special benefits!
With unlimited amounts of wine and vodka at the Shots & Awe bar, it’s easy to mix together two wine bottles to form quick steps that increase Chuck’s speed, or two vodkas that create pain killers, which reduce the damage chuck suffers from attacks.
8. HACK UP THE SHACK
Bennie Jack’s BBQ Shack holds plenty of delicious foodstuffs that are certain to keep chuck in good health. But check its kitchen to discover (gasp!)—A chain saw!
Rip that ignition cord and start carving out your own sides of undead beef.
While slaughtering the BBQ Shack’s undead patrons, search around to find a driving magazine sitting on a table. When carried, this mag greatly increases the durability of all four-wheeled vehicles, such as 4x4s and cars.
Make sure to check out the Shack’s second storey, where you’ll discover a spear and handgun. If you’re feeling adventurous, hop onto the counter to the left of the fire pit, then make a daring leap onto the casino’s hanging light fixtures!
Leap along the lights to locate a very special ledge. another magazine awaits up here, Bargaining, which reduces the cost of items at pawnshops by 10 percent.
You’ll also find a broadsword, handgun, lots of cash, and—best of all—a dose of that most rare miracle medicine, Zombrex. As you can see, it pays to explore everything that Fortune City has to offer—so keep reading!
