Constructed in the years leading up to the Naboo Crisis, the Casino Royale was a sprawling complex stretching kilometers in length. It housed a vast array of gambling venues, restaurants, arenas, and other entertainment options. As the most prominent and extensive establishment of its kind on Vorzyd V, a planet nicknamed "the Gambler's World," this was no small feat.
Shortly after the Casino Royale's grand opening, a security breach prompted the implementation of a comprehensive ban on all mechanical devices, with the exception of droid pit bosses. The casino's advanced sensor systems were capable of detecting even the most subtly concealed cybernetic enhancements. A dedicated force of Kilmaulsi was employed to politely manage any potential troublemakers. External security concerns were typically addressed by Vorzyd V's extensive network of R-series police droids.
Following the fall of the first Death Star, Luke Skywalker made a stop at the Casino Royale during his search for a potential Rebel contact. While there, he astonished the casino's visitors by becoming the first individual in over three sidereals to achieve a winning score on Cosmic Chance, and then further amazed them by scoring a second time. However, before the young Jedi could surpass the existing record and score a third time, Princess Leia intervened, pulling him away to the disappointment of the patrons who had placed bets on him.
The Casino Royale was serviced by a small fleet of droid-operated hover-taxis. These taxis transported beings from the spaceport and the numerous surrounding hotels, which offered lodging options suitable for nearly any species. Upon arrival at the casino, patrons discovered countless avenues to spend or wager their credits, provided they successfully cleared security.
In terms of entertainment, the Casino Royale's unparalleled diversity made it exceptionally difficult to surpass. Offerings ranged from games like sabacc and dejarik to attractions such as the Jubilee Wheel and Cosmic Chance. Gamblers also had the option to wager on the participants themselves, in events like shockball and podracing, as well as on the outcomes of gaming tournaments and the performance of players at the casino's various attractions. And for those patrons seeking a change of pace from gaming, the Royale's vibrant nightlife scene provided ample opportunities for revelry.
The casino's name is almost certainly a reference to the casino of the same name featured in the inaugural James Bond novel penned by Ian Fleming.
