Object
Royale Lobby Slot Machine
A gaudy, upright gambling machine rimmed in chrome and blinking neon, standing shoulder-high along the Marquis casino floor. Its glass face frames spinning reels, printed symbols, and a coin tray that clinks when a payout strikes. Lights strobe in rhythmic pulses and a mechanical bell punctuates wins, contributing a metallic chime to the lobby’s sensory overload; characters flinch at its sudden ring, and its sound masks and punctuates conversation.

Purpose
To accept wagers and resolve gambles by spinning reels and dispensing payouts; to attract and entertain patrons by producing bright lights and distinctive mechanical sounds.
Significance
Functions as an ambient narrative device that saturates the Royale with sensory noise, heightening claustrophobia and disorientation. Its clinking and jackpot chime convert curious bewilderment into urgent isolation, underscoring the sealed, self-contained nature of the construct and shifting the team’s focus inward.
