No, I simply have had a rough month. I feel silly and embarrassed really. Though thank you for the explanation.

@Darth Sonic  
I read your post. I responded to the last sentence of it. You have issues.

I get a “Vegas Vacation” vibe from them…

@WingbeatPony  
Huh, never thought of that! Although… the machine seems to be paying out tickets to the outside..? XD
 
Any idea what her cutie mark is?

@Qev  
If I had to take a crack at it, I’d say it was one of those ticket blower things, chuck. e cheese style…

@Ponylooker  
I… I just suggested an alternative to seeing an actual casino for that very reason that doesn’t involve using Dave and Busters as a stand-in for one. Focus on the showbiz. Did you even read my post?

What IS the “bubble-pony” thing about, anyway? Is she the prize or something? :D

@Darth Sonic  
Sometimes you just have to man up and admit to yourself that you really are watching a show for little girls, and that because of that there are some things that just aren’t going to happen.

@Masem  
But I’m saying that they shouldn’t have stuck to half-measures. Show us slots, or just focus on the hotel and showbiz aspect of Las Vegas, and let us imagine that a high-stakes card game going down in the next room over.
 
Now, obviously, there are arcades in Las Vegas. But this arcade seems to be a stand-in for the casino, so it makes it seem like this is what Ponies do in place of gambling because they’re innocent cinnamon buns. I’ve never cared for the infantilization of the Pony race.

@Darth Sonic  
Actually, there actually might be laws against that. This whole thing with the CounterStrike skin gambling including accusations of encouraging underage gambling. As this is primarily a kids show, showing unfiltered gambling (compared to the silly bets like in SSCS6K) may be seen as encouraging that.
 
Making the place more like a Dave and Busters makes the connection obviously without tripping any filters.

It just feels ungenuine, though. We’re supposed to be in Las Pegasus. Show us slots, or don’t. Don’t try to find a middle ground.

I see a fighting game in the upper right corner.

Step right up and don’t be shy,  
because you will not believe your eyes.  
She’s right here behind the glass  
and you’re gonna like her,  
‘cause she’s got class.
 
You can look inside another world.  
You get to talk to a pretty girl.  
She’s everything you dream about…  
but don’t fall in love…

I’m certain the slightly elderly couple in the bottom middle are a reference/ponification of two from a movie, but I cannot for the life of me pin them down….

@tigerrobocop Indeed.

@Background Pony #54D5  
eh they are here for fun. gambling is not ufn XP

Typical Vegas crowd.

 
It’s that.

So seriously is there a real game this is based on because I don’t remember one like it as a kid. Or is it a take off of those playscape tube things you used to see in every McDonalds and such?

Free her

We’ve come a long way from the same 3 background ponies with hourglass marks.

I loved the pony in the bubble.
