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 machine]]s (except in European versions of {{v2|Platinum}}, which have [[game machine]]s instead). A [[Coin Case]] is necessary to play games. A sign outside reads:
In the European releases of {{game|Platinum}}, as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar]</ref>, the [[slot machine]]s were replaced with [[game machine]]s, including in the English version. The dialogue and other text was also altered to remove references to the slot machines and their functionality. {{TM|64|Explosion}} is instead given away at random by the Game Corner attendant.

==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 {{wp|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. He says that nothing is going his way, and asks if the player is a Trainer or has battled the Gym Leader. [[Looker]] can also be found here both before the player has obtained the {{badge|Cobble}} and after the [[Stark Mountain]] storyline.

* The woman behind the counter says that the player must have had an ''explosion'' of good luck before giving the TM64, as a pun.

* 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<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slot_machine#Japan Wikipedia - Slot machine]</ref> 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.
