How to win at the Casino in Schedule 1

Money is at the heart of Schedule 1, but while moving product is the best way to watch your balance grow, you can also hit the Casino to make some easy cash.

If you’ve ever watched Breaking Bad and wanted to try your hand at building your own underground drug empire, then you’ll feel right at home in Schedule 1. The surprise hit, which has blown up on Steam since launching on March 24, puts you in control of a new dealer hoping to grow their operation from a dingy motel to a flashy lab.

To expand your setup you’ll need plenty of money, and while selling the fruits of your labors is the most effective way to earn, the Casino is easily more fun. So, here’s a full Schedule 1 Casino guide breaking down how to win each game.

Casino location

You can find the Casino by the water in Hyland City, close to the middle of the map next the garage and supermarket. However, it’s only open between 4 PM and 5 AM every day, so make sure you only visit during these hours otherwise you won’t be allowed inside.

This falls squarely within the police curfew, so try to avoid any officers you bump into along the way. If caught, you will be arrested on the spot, and all of your current inventory will be confiscated, costing you valuable time and money.

The good news is that you can outrun them pretty easily, and once you make it to the Casino you’ll no longer be wanted.

Schedule 1 Casino guide: How to win every game

Blackjack

TVGS

Found opposite the Casino reception, Blackjack lets you bet anywhere between $10 and $100 and you win double whatever you put down. As you’d expect, you need a little luck, but there’s also plenty of strategy involved.

You’re dealt two cards and the aim is to get closer to 21 than your opponent, but if either of you goes over, you bust and lose. Once you have your two cards, you can either ‘stand’ to settle for what you’ve got or ‘hit’ to receive another card, and so on.

The most important tip is not to get greedy. If you get dealt two kings right off the bat (which makes 20), then you’re better off sticking as it’s extremely unlikely that you’ll get the ace needed for 21 and it puts plenty of pressure on the opponent.

Oh, and if you get a jack of spades or clubs (i.e, a black jack), you win the hand immediately with no more cards required.

Although there are other games with higher stakes, blackjack is arguably the safest bet, as you have a little control over the outcome.

Slot machines

TVGS

Slot machines are entirely random in Schedule 1, but the high risk is matched by high reward. You can bet anywhere from $5 to $100, but the potential returns are very high if your luck happens to be in.

To win you must match three symbols and each symbol will multiply your initial bet by a certain amount. Here’s a breakdown of the prizes:

• Any three fruits: x2
• Match three of the same fruit: x10
• Three bells: x25
• Three sevens: x100

So, a $100 could return a maximum of $10,000. However, this is very unlikely, so we recommend betting low so that you can easily recoup any sunk costs with just a single big win.

Ride the Bus

Ride the Bus is easily the most fun of all the Casino games, as unlike the slot machines, it puts the ball in your court. Bet between $10 and $500 to kick the game off, consisting of four different minigames that all require you to give an answer within the time limit.

If you guess wrong or fail to give an answer before the time runs out, you lose all of your winnings so far.

Round 1: Guess the suit

The first round is fairly simple, a card is drawn face down and you must guess if it’s red (hearts/diamonds) or black (spades/clubs). Get it right and your initial bet will be doubled on the spot; get it wrong and leave with nothing.

Round 2: Higher or lower

In the next game, all you have to do is guess whether the next card drawn out of the deck is higher or lower than the first (which will be the card drawn in the first round). This can be tricky if you get a number somewhere in the middle, but keep the odds in mind to give yourself the best shot.

For example, if you get five, although this may seem like it’s right in the middle, remember that there are 12 face cards that are also worth 10. So, there’s actually a greater chance of the next card being higher than lower.

If you guess right your prize will increase to triple your bet.

Round 3: Inside or Outside

In the third round, another card is drawn face down and you have to guess if it will be in between the two numbers you saw previously or not. For example, if you got two and four in the previous rounds, a two, three, or four would be inside.

Make the right call and you’ll be awarded four times your initial bet.

Round 4: Guess the suit

In the fourth and final round, one last card is drawn face down and you have to decide which suit it belongs too. It’s easily the toughest of the minigames, but keep an eye on which suits have come before, as this will tell you how many are left in the deck.

If you pick the right one, you’ll win a staggering 20 times what you initially put down, so $500 would make $10,000.

But remember, at any point, you can choose to walk away and take your winnings so far with you, making this the best way to make money in the Casino.
