The Veilstone Game Corner (Japanese: トバリゲームコーナー Tobari Game Corner) is one of the six Game Corners. It is located in Veilstone City, Sinnoh.
This game corner houses sixteen slot machines (except in European versions of Platinum, which have game machines instead). A Coin Case is necessary to play games. A sign outside reads:
In European releases of Platinum, the sign reads:

Slot Machines
There are sixteen slot machines in the Game Corner, with four of them having people already seated at them.
Each spin of the machine takes 3 coins, which are inserted by pressing the X button. Reels will start spinning either when the D-pad is pressed down or the X button is pressed again. Y stops the left reel, B stops the middle, and A stops the right.
Payouts
- 7 7 7 - 100 coins
- Three Team Galactic symbols - 100 coins
- Three Poké Balls - 2 coins
- Three Moon Stones - 15 coins
- Three Pikachu - 10 coins
- Three Replays - Replay or 15 coins (in Bonus Round)
Bonus Round
As the game is played, occasionally a Poké Ball will roll up on the Touch Screen. They make the reels "sticky" and almost guarantee a win. The type of win depends on the Ball:
- Poké Ball : Three Poké Balls
- Premier Ball: Three of something Random
- Great Ball: Three Replays
- Ultra Ball: Three Pikachu
- Safari Ball: Three Moon Stones
Randomly, a Clefairy will pop out of the Poké Ball on the touch screen, and can be either a normal one, a Template:Shiny2 one, or one that appears to be a Transformed Ditto. Once the Clefairy appears, players must continue spinning the reels until they get a 100-coin bonus. The odds of getting the bonus seem to improve if the slots are activated to the beat of Clefairy's clapping.
At this point the bonus round will begin. It only costs one coin to spin the reels while in the bonus round; after the reels begin spinning, the Clefairy will indicate which reel to stop first; left is Y, up is B, and right is A. Each time this is done correctly, three replays will be made possible, at fifteen coins apiece. If the player does not follow Clefairy's instructions, but gets three of one image (including replays) coins will not be given. Each bonus round has 15 spins, meaning that a perfect one yields 210 coins.
After 15 spins, the Clefairy will either stay for another bonus round or it will return to its Poké Ball and the bonus will end. This seems to be random. If ten or more bonus rounds are played in a row, talking to the woman behind the counter will yield players TM64 (Explosion). In order to obtain the TM, the player must lose a bonus round sometime after their tenth consecutive round, pressing Start to end the "Slot Session" will not count as having played 10 games in a row and will, in turn, not yield TM64.
Occasionally, the moon on the touch screen will glow red during a spin, and according to an NPC in the game corner, getting a replay when the moon is red "makes Clefairy tired." Because of this, following Clefairy's instructions during a red moon could cause the bonus round to end.
However, the moon may also occasionally glow bright white, and following Clefairy's instructions will almost always guarantee that Clefairy will stay for another bonus round.
Trivia
- The music in the Game Corner is a techno remix of the Rocket Game Corner in Kanto. It is also similar to the music played in real-life pachinko parlors.
- The music during the Clefairy Bonus Round is a remix of the Mt. Moon Square theme from Generation II.
- Maylene's father can be met here. Looker also comes here both before obtaining the Cobble Badge and after the Stark Mountain storyline.
- Due to the removal of slot machines in European versions of Platinum in favor of game machines, dialog and other text inside the Game Corner has been altered to remove references to the slot machines and their gameplay. The only person whose dialog wasn't changed is the coin salesman. TM64 is given away at random by the Game Corner attendant.
- This is the first generation in which the large bonus for the slot machines was only 100 instead of 300, and a bonus round was activated after the bonus where the reward is 15 coins per spin. This may be due to the Japanese slot machine laws[1] that limit the maximum payout for a single spin to 15. Many real-life slot machines in Japan do this as well, giving a bonus round after the large bonus has been activated. As well, none of the payouts besides the big bonuses are larger than 15. The slot machines also follow with the custom of playing energizing music and special scenes on the LCD, payout after payout.
