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.

"It's so exciting for us to finally reveal our first game! As game devs, it's incredibly interesting to try and bring something new to an iconic genre that we've been growing up with as players. Classic Tycoons all have magic in them, and we want to respect that formula, but Blooming Business: Casino will add some emphasis on the drama. It's a game in which people will come to create their own casino and they will hopefully stay for what happens in it, we have interesting characters, meaningful narrative events, players will have to make choices, some tougher than others." said David Rabineau, Founder & CEO of Homo Ludens.
