Valheim Casino

Build casino tables in your hall and gamble your coins with friends. Everything is paid in Valheim's own Coins.

Games

Open the Hammer, go to Furniture, and place one of these. Chairs spawn around the table automatically.

Look and feel

Every table has its own Norse-themed model: a longhouse slot machine, a felted D-shaped blackjack table, a fur-rimmed coin flip table with a real thrown coin, and a Ride the Bus longship. Lanterns light the tables at night, and the build menu icons are drawn from the actual models.

Controls

Sit in a chair, aim at the table, and use the prompt that appears.

• Coin Flip: E bets Heads, Shift + E bets Tails. The flip happens after a short lobby countdown so others can join.
• Blackjack: E sits in, then E hits and Shift + E stands once cards are dealt. A turn timer forces a stand if you wait.
• Slots: E spins, Shift + E changes your bet.
• Ride the Bus: E sits in. Each round, Shift + E cycles the highlighted option and E locks it in. From round two the last option is Cash out. Anyone who doesn't pick in time cashes out.

Payouts

• Coin Flip: A win returns 1.9x your bet.
• Blackjack: A win pays 1:1, a natural blackjack pays 3:2, a push returns your bet. Dealer stands on all 17s. No double down, split or insurance yet.
• Slots: Weighted reels like a real machine, returning about 97% over time with a win on roughly 3 spins in 10. Three of a kind pays your bet times 4 (Stag), 6 (Raven), 15 (Axe), 25 (Rune) or 250 (Odin). Any two Stags pay 2x.
• Ride the Bus: Four rounds: red or black, higher or lower, inside or outside, then the suit. Ace is high and ties lose. Clearing 1, 2, 3 and 4 rounds returns 2x, 2.5x, 3.5x and 12x your bet, fixed whatever you picked, so smart picks and good cash-out timing pay off. A wrong guess loses the stake. Everyone at the table sees what each rider is doing.

Configuration

A config file is created in BepInEx/config/com.blueshiftsoftware.valheimcasino.cfg the first time you run the game. You can change lobby time, bet sizes, payouts, turn timers, the chair and slot machine seat prefabs, how far the slots hover text drops (HoverTextDrop), and the build menu icons (RenderIcons, IconSize, IconRotation). Bet sizes are set when a table is built, so changes apply to new tables.

Multiplayer

Every player on the server needs this mod installed. The player who owns a table in the world acts as the dealer. If they disconnect mid-hand, that hand's stakes are lost.

Known limitations

• Coins are added and removed on each player's own client, so a modified client could cheat.
• Removing a table leaves its chairs behind.
