Oddworld: Casino Magog
INTRODUCTION
TIME SETTING: 8 YEARS BEFORE THE EVENTS OF ABE'S ODDYSEE
Nolybab may be the biggest diamond in the rough, but there are some diamonds which come very close. The city of Airyssa is one of them. Recently, however, the mayor of Airyssa has observed an economic decline, due to the establishment of several new cities on the shores of other continents, which have sucked many Airyssa executives and bigwigs away on their holidays. However, one of the biggest of bigwigs, one of the richest Inhabitants on Oddworld and Sultan of Bruneiesque rival of Molluck, Yaj Ranrs, has offered his multimillionaire, metaphorical hand to the mayor to agree to donate 150 million Moolah to the city in exchange for being able to construct a 15 kilometre square casino-hotel complex near the southern entrance to the metropolis that will both ensure that Yaj will solidly outperform his rival for the next decade and put him as the joint crown prince of Mudos, equalling the power of the Oddfather.
The casino’s name was suggested during a dinner time conversation between Yaj and his primary investors, the Bernie and Yeesul Vykkers couple. They stirred their 300 dollar martinis and contemplated it, eventually coming up with a simultaneous expletive;
“Ranrs Francium Palace”, a combination of the name of it’s founder and CEO, the rarest element on Oddworld, and the common postfix of many a Nolybab casino.

LOCATION INFO
The facility is a 16 kilometre square walled complex containing the casino itself, a hotel, a circus, and various municipal buildings.
On the first level of the casino, over 500 slot machines and 200 gambling tables litter the area, along with 3 separate bathroom areas and a karaoke bar. On it’s second floor, in addition the same compliment of slot machines and gambling tables as on the first floor, there are 2 private theatres with access to all sorts of obscure and blockbuster films and a spa area constantly pumped with steam made from water imported straight from the springs of the nearby metropolis of Airemus. On the third level lies the exclusive tournament rooms (which can host up to 4 regular tournaments at once and one Glockstar-class tournament) and the auction house.
In the hotel, arrangements are simpler. There are 20 rooms on the first floor, in addition to a restaurant/café and vendor area. There are 30 rooms on the second floor, lying uninterrupted. On the third floor, there are 5 Presidential suites and 10 regular rooms, with the edges of the halls having a nice view of the Airyssa skyline.
The circus is not strictly speaking a building, but merely a large, painted steel tent area capable of holding up to 1000 spectators and many different types of performances. It is annexed next to a 30 capacity animal pen, sealed via electric fence.
In the municipal areas, there is a 50 capacity Slig sleeping house arrayed openly like a Slog hut, a tower in the centre of the complex containing 3 stories of executive offices and employee lounges near it’s top, 2 stories of security centres and armouries in the middle, 2 stories of financial planning offices, and a GROUND LOBBY FOR NEW EMPLOYEES TO APPLY VIA ITS AUTOFONES. Lastly, there is the maintenance building, an unassuming structure containing some broom closets and an authorized Detention Centre.
The facility itself is linked by four massive gates on it’s right wall leading to the nearby highway.
