The Albatross Casino and Hotel is the first casino ever built in Bluff City and the setting of the movie Hard Luck. It was initially funded by the Nebraska Family, although it is unknown who holds majority ownership in current-day Bluff City. The staff uniforms for the casino include a red vest.
The casino has a fancy-nautical theme, with chrome escalators, and payphones in the lobby. There is also a payphone behind loading bay (removed shortly after the casino’s opening as the loading dock has its own phone).
Security in the casino is maintained by a system of ID cards with magnetic strips for staff. These cards are scanned by a device that “makes a weird noise like it’s printing something when you swipe but nothing is printed out that you can see” and shows your signature on a small black and green LED screen.
