The game assigns a lucky ID when you first enter the building, which ranges from 0 to 31, however there are 35 machines. Of all of the slot machines, the best is the machine in the bottom right with the ID “1”. When you first walk in you’ll note thirty slot machines, with eight of them being in use, one where someone left their keys, one labelled “out of order” and one labelled “reserved”. All the slot machines had their odds randomly generated each play, with no single slot machine being good for every player all the time. Officially speaking, in the first generation games, there was no advantage regardless of which machine you used. You see, there was a neat trick to get huge rewards in the Celadon Game Corner.
Well, that’s if you didn’t know what you were doing. After buying some Pokeballs and Potions, it was onto the Celadon Game Corner to spend some money on the slot machines, long before I found online slots. Sure, there was also the headquarters of Celadon Condominiums, the Celadon Hotel, and the city’s Gym Leader, Erika, but all we wanted to do back in the day was spend our coins and move on. Aside from its perceived size, Celadon City was special for two reasons: the Celadon Department Store and the Celadon Game Corner.
