The Celadon Game Corner is a casino located in the southeastern part of Celadon City, whose catchphrase is "The Playground for Everybody". It's one of the six Game Corners in the Pokémon world. It contains several games inside depending on the Generation, including slot machines, Card Flip, and Voltorb Flip, though the player needs a Coin Case to participate in any. Winning at these will award the player with coins he or she can exchange for prizes at the Prize Corner next door, including rare Pokémon such as Dratini and Porygon, as well as rare TMs and hold items. While it seems to be a popular spot for travelers and tourists, the citizens take pride in the city's beauty and think the casino is bad for its image.
In the games of Generation I and their remakes, this Game Corner is run by Team Rocket, called Rocket Game Corner and with the catchphrase "The Playground for Grown-ups". Under the casino is the Kanto region's Rocket Hideout, with a staircase leading to it hidden in the upper-right corner. The player must gain access to the hideout in order to defeat Team Rocket and obtain the Silph Scope, by defeating a Rocket Grunt and pressing a hidden switch underneath the poster he was guarding. In the games of Generation II and their remakes, the casino is no longer run by Team Rocket and their hideout is inaccesible, but several characters make references to its existence three years prior.
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions, there is a machine in the corner of the building which takes a photo of the player's current Pokémon party to put on the back of the Trainer card.
In non-Japanese versions of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Celadon Game Corner is owned by Mr. Game, who runs the Voltorb Flip game.

One to three coins can be put in the slot machine each play. One coin will only count the center row across, two coins will count all three rows across, and three coins will count all three rows across as well as both diagonals. The reels stop spinning when the A button is pressed.
In the second generation games, several Golem will drop when two 7's are lined up. This improves the chances of lining up three 7's.

Payouts
Card flip
The card flip game is exclusive to Generation II. Players can pick either a card or a group of cards, similar in nature to Roulette, which was included in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. In playing card flip, players place bets on cards that may be flipped over. The deck used contains 24 cards: each one has both a number (between one and six) and a picture of a Pokémon (either Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Oddish, or Poliwag). Once twelve cards have been drawn, the deck will be reshuffled. Bets can be placed on a single card, on a single column, on a single row, on a pair of columns, or on a pair of rows.
Voltorb Flip
Much like the Goldenrod Game Corner, the Slot machines in the Celadon Game Corner have also been replaced by the Voltorb Flip for all versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver released outside of Japan. Voltorb Flip was described in a pre-release review as "a cross between Picross and Minesweeper". It features a five-by-five grid of tiles, underneath of which are hidden numbers (which multiply the player's score if located) and Voltorb (which Selfdestruct and cause the player to lose all points gained in that round). The player can easily figure out where the Voltorb are located by using the clues provided: the number of Voltorb in each line and column are noted at the side of the screen.
