Blooming Business: Casino is a casino-themed sim-management game that sees retro Las Vegas-inspired aesthetics and cute animal inhabitants combine for a satirical take on the tycoon formula.
Blooming Business: Casino is inspired by the rise of Las Vegas in the 1950s but is set in a fictional universe where animals can rake in gambling fortunes, manage the house, and even control the shady criminal underworld.
The large cast of cute and lovingly animated animal characters who take the roles of customers, casino employees and of course VIPs. They infuse the game with life as players interact, connect and also learn more about the VIPs backstories, fears and desires over time.
In Blooming Business: Casino players will build and run their own casino from the ground up. That means designing the layout and decorations, the commercial strategy and even setting the games and rules to make sure to maximize the profits. They will also have to deal with maintenance issues, remove pesky customers from the premises, keep clients entertained and excited, and even create moments of joy and exhilaration as wins for clients accumulate.
Despite the cute appearance, players will navigate a complex network of factions, allegiances and reputation management, whilst keeping satisfaction levels high amongst staff and customers. Successful casino operators will learn how to manage relationships with the mob as well as the police, while keeping the other key players happy.
Paul Blachere, Creative Director and Co-Founder at Homo Ludens commented, “We are very eager to put our game into the hands of as many people as possible at Gamescom. We’ve been working for almost two years on Blooming Business: Casino, going from 4 people in 2021 to 18! We wanted to make a tycoon that looked like no other and with a hefty amount of drama and we’re really happy with the demo and encourage everyone that can to try it !
