Valheim Casino

Build casino tables in your hall and gamble your coins with friends. Every game is played with Valheim's own Coins; the tables and decor cost wood and coins, and the hall buildings wood and stone.

Games

Open the Hammer, go to Furniture, and place one of these. Every table and slot machine comes with its own seats.

Piece	Cost	How it plays
Coin Flip Table	10 Wood, 100 Coins	Everyone at the table bets Heads or Tails on one shared coin.
Blackjack Table	10 Wood, 200 Coins	Everyone plays the same dealer hand at once. Hit or stand.
Slot Machine	10 Wood, 150 Coins	One player at a time. Three reels, five symbols, and a shared progressive jackpot.
Ride the Bus Table	10 Wood, 200 Coins	Everyone rides together through four card rounds. Cash out any time from round two.
Craps Table	15 Wood, 200 Coins	One shooter throws the dice for the whole table. Bet the Pass Line and take it from there.
Video Poker	on the Mead Bar	Two machines at one end of the bar, one player each. Jacks or Better: hold the cards you want and draw once.

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, a Ride the Bus longship, and a long craps tub with real thrown dice. Lanterns light the tables at night, and the build menu icons are drawn from the actual models.

• Cards on the felt. Blackjack and Ride the Bus deal real cards onto the table. The dealer's second card lies face down until the hand ends.
• Stakes on the felt. Each bet is a pile of coins in front of your chair. It grows when you win and slides to the house when you lose.
• Hugin at your table. When you join a hand of blackjack or Ride the Bus, the raven from the tutorial lands on the far rail of the table, facing you, and stays until you leave. Only you see your own raven.
• Seats that belong to the table. Carved chairs at the tables and a high-backed throne at each slot machine. Remove the table and its seats go with it.

Video Poker

Two Jacks or Better machines stand at one end of the Mead Bar, each with its own throne. The machine holds the cards worth keeping for you; change them if you like, then draw. The screens light up at night.

The slot jackpot

Every spin adds a coin to a progressive jackpot, and three Odins wins it on top of the usual prize. The sign over each machine shows what three Odins pays at that machine's largest bet; a smaller bet wins the same fraction of it.

• Machines playing with infinite coins share one jackpot across the whole world, so every base feeds the same pot.
• Machines playing against a House Bank share that bank's own jackpot.

Run your own casino: the House Bank

By default the house has infinite coins. Build a House Bank (10 Wood, 50 Coins) and you can be the house instead.

• Look at a table or slot machine you built and press H to switch it between infinite coins and your bank. It uses your nearest bank within 20 metres and keeps to that bank; if you remove it, the table goes back to infinite coins until you pick again.
• Stakes are paid into the bank and winnings are paid out of it. A bet is only accepted if the bank can cover it.
• E deposits and Shift + E withdraws. Only the bank's builder (or a server admin) can see the balance, open it or remove it, and it can't be damaged.

Hall decor

Nine pieces for dressing the room, also under Furniture:

Piece	Cost	What it is
Casino Sign	15 Wood, 50 Coins	A carved board on a post with Fehu, the rune of wealth, in gold. Lit by its own lantern.
Hall Lantern	5 Wood, 30 Coins	A tall iron stand with two hanging lanterns.
Velvet Rope	4 Wood, 20 Coins	Two gold posts and a red rope. Place them end to end.
Hall Runner	2 Wood, 20 Coins	A long red carpet with a gold border.
Hall Chandelier	6 Wood, 60 Coins	An iron ring of six lanterns. Fix it to a beam or ceiling and it hangs below.
Cashier's Cage	30 Wood, 100 Coins	A teller's booth behind iron bars, with two windows and a CASHIER sign. Collect your held winnings here; walk in at the back, where a House Bank fits.
Mead Bar	30 Wood, 60 Coins	A long counter with tankards and a mead horn, a rack of barrels and drinks behind under a woven night mural, and two video poker machines at one end.
High Rollers' Board	20 Wood, 100 Coins	A notice board that names the five biggest wins in your world, each player's best. Look at it for the full names and the game.
Cigar Lounge	30 Wood, 100 Coins	A big round leather couch for six, with a table of cigars in the middle, one still smoking.

Build a casino hall

Four larger pieces, also under Furniture, that fit together. They are built from wood and stone.

Piece	Cost	What it is
Gaming Pavilion	60 Wood, 30 Stone	A cloth canopy on six carved posts over a carpeted floor, big enough for two tables and all their chairs. Works indoors or out.
Casino Doors	30 Wood, 12 Stone	A pair of tall doors glazed with amber glass behind a gold lattice. They swing away from whoever opens them.
Glazed Wall	24 Wood, 12 Stone	The same glass and lattice as the doors, as a fixed wall.
Tapestry Wall	24 Wood, 12 Stone	A solid wall hung on both sides with a night tapestry of a wolf, a longship and the World Serpent.

• Doors and walls are 6 metres wide and 4 tall, exactly one bay of a pavilion, and snap in between its posts. They also fit a wall opening three panels wide and two high.
• Pavilions snap to each other side by side or end to end. Where two meet, the edge trim between them is left off so they read as one canopy.
• On uneven ground the posts, floor edge and door frames carry down to the ground wherever it falls away.

Sounds

Every game has sound: coins going down, cards being dealt, the coin landing, the dice hitting the table, the slot lever and reels, and wins and losses, mostly using Valheim's own sound effects. Idle slot machines also play short casino jingles every few seconds, so a row of machines sounds like a casino floor.

Controls

Sit in a seat, 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. On your first two cards, K doubles down and, with a pair, L splits; each takes a second stake. 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.
• Craps: Shift + E moves through what you can do and E does it. Each press on a bet adds one chip. The shooter chooses "Throw the dice" when ready; there is no clock.
• Video Poker: E deals and Shift + E changes your bet. Once dealt, Shift + E moves along the cards and the draw button and E holds or lets go of a card, or draws. Pressing E twice plays the machine's suggestion.
• Your own tables: H switches the house between infinite coins and your House Bank.
• Big wins: coins that don't fit in your pack are held for you. Collect them once you have room at the Cashier's Cage (E), or by looking at any casino table and pressing J.

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. Double down on any first two cards (one more card, then you stand). Split a pair once; split aces get one card each, and 21 on a split hand pays 1:1. No insurance.
• 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. Three Odins also wins the progressive jackpot.
• 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.
• Craps: Nobody can throw until the shooter has bet the Pass Line or Don't Pass, and the dice pass on a seven-out. Pass Line and Don't Pass pay 1:1 (12 is barred on Don't Pass). Odds behind a line bet, up to three times it, pay the true odds. The Field pays 1:1 for one roll and double on 2 and 12. Place bets on 6 and 8 pay 7:6 on every hit until a seven. Winnings are rounded down to whole coins.
• Video Poker: Jacks or Better, paid as a multiple of your bet with the stake included: Royal Flush 250, Straight Flush 50, Four of a Kind 25, Full House 9, Flush 6, Straight 4, Three of a Kind 3, Two Pair 2, a pair of Jacks or better 1 (your stake back). About 98% comes back with perfect play, a little less playing the machine's suggestions. A hand left alone for a while is drawn for you.

Configuration

A config file is created in BepInEx/config/com.blueshiftsoftware.valheimcasino.cfg the first time you run the game.

• Set by the server: lobby time, turn timers, bet sizes, payouts, maximum players, whether you must be seated, how many coins each spin adds to the jackpot (JackpotPerSpin), the craps chip size and chip limit, the video poker bets, paytable and idle time, and how close a House Bank must be (Radius). On a server these come from the server and only admins can change them.
• Your own: the H, J, K and L keys, whether the raven visits you (Raven), seat distances, how far the slot and video poker hover text drops (HoverTextDrop), the build menu icons (RenderIcons, IconSize, IconRotation), and the sounds (the Sounds section: on or off, overall volume, slot machine volume, dice volume, how often and how loudly the slot jingles play, and which Valheim sound each event uses).

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, at the same version. 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.
• Tables built with an earlier version lose their old loose chairs the first time they load, in favour of the new built-in seats.
• A Mead Bar or Cashier's Cage built with an earlier version takes on its new, larger size, so check it still fits your hall.
• The pavilion's carpet is flat: on a slope it stands proud on the low side, and grass can show through it where the ground is close underneath.
