In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is closed down, and the owner gives the player three dolls. The closure is likely due to {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}'s current classification standards.
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Game Corner is closed permanently. Three [[Pokémon doll]]s can be obtained from the owner.

The roulette wheel has twelve spaces. Each space has one of three colors and one of four Pokémon: yellow, green, and purple; {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Skitty}}, and {{p|Wynaut}}. By betting where a ball will land, players can win [[Coin]]s.
The roulette wheels have twelve slots. Each slot has a different combination of one of three colors (yellow, green, and purple) and one of four Pokémon ({{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Skitty}}, and {{p|Wynaut}}). By betting which slot a ball will land in, the player can win [[Coin]]s.


Bets can be placed in three different ways: by single space, by color, or by Pokémon. Winning a bet by space returns twelve times as much as was originally bet, by Pokémon yields four times the amount bet, and winning by color gives three times as much. Each ball remains on the wheel until the wheel is reset, once six balls have been put into play. This changes the odds for future bets, as only one ball can fit into each space.
Bets can be placed in three different ways: on a specific slot, on a color, or on a Pokémon. Once a bet is placed, a ball will be spun around the wheel until it lands in one of the twelve slots. Winning a bet on a specific slot returns twelve times as much as was originally bet, winning by Pokémon yields four times the amount bet, and winning by color gives three times as much. Each ball remains on the wheel after being placed. Once six balls have been played, the wheel is reset.


A bet on a Pokémon or color increases its payout when some of the possibilities are taken off the board. The multiplier of the payout is always equal to 12 divided by the number of empty spaces in the bet type. For example, if a bet has already landed on a Wynaut, that row will have a ×6 multiplier instead of the usual ×4 multiplier.
As only one ball can fit into each slot, bets on a Pokémon or color can change their odds and increase their payouts when some of the possibilities are taken off the board. The multiplier of a payout is always equal to 12 divided by the number of empty slots of the bet type; for example, if a ball has already landed on a Wynaut, that row will have a ×6 multiplier (12/2) instead of the usual ×4 multiplier (12/3), as now there are only two Wynaut slots left on the wheel instead of three.


There are two roulette wheels, with one having a wager of 1 coin, and the other having a wager of 3 coins. On the Game Corner's Service Day, the 3-coin table has a special rate of a 6 coin wager instead.

Sometimes the ball may get stuck between two balls which have already settled. When this happens, either a {{p|Shroomish}} will drop down, causing the ball to fly up into the air and land in another spot, or a {{p|Taillow}} will pick it up and, after hovering with it for a bit, drop it into another spot.

====Strategy and probabilities====
==Items==
Because the payouts are calculated based on an empty board, the odds favor the player as the more balls fill the roulette wheel. For example, on an empty board, the payout of a single space (×12) matches its probability (1/12).  After five spins, the payout remains the same, but the probability of a win increases to 1/7, giving the player a 71% edge on the final spin.  This advantage (30.64% on average) in odds favors the player in the long run, but the small bet amounts inhibit winning fortunes quickly.

*The closure of the Game Corner in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} is likely due to {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}'s current classification standards, for which simulated depictions of gambling must have at least a "12" rating.
