Dig Dig Die Casino & Vending Guide
Ship economy after extract: sober vending first, volatile tables second.
The cursed flying ship is Dig Dig Die’s second game. Between graveyard raids you restock at vending machines, linger at the bar, and risk everything on blackjack, roulette, and thimbles. Alice Games built that loop so a perfect extract can still end in laughter—or regret. This page is the bankroll manual: how to spend like a crew that wants another raid, not a montage of empty pockets.
Vending first, always
Vending machines dish out boosters and handy items. That is the sober path. After extract, walk the machines before you walk the felt. Restock mobility, utility, and whatever helps the next Quiet Extract. Treat vending as part of ship prep on the Cursed Ship, not as an afterthought once roulette has already eaten the surplus.
Coordinate purchases with roles from Tools. Loot Runner may want speed-oriented restocks. Distractor may want tools that enable a peel. Support buys the boring kit that keeps the plan intact. If you skip role talk, six players buy the same shiny booster and nobody buys the useful spare.
Casino games and what they are for
The ship casino features blackjack, roulette, and thimbles. Functionally they all answer one question: do you want variance after survival? Use tables for:
- Surplus burning when the next raid is already fully kitted
- Friend-group comedy nights where the story matters more than the bankroll
- Tiny experimental bets while you learn table pacing
Do not use tables for:
- Replacing a wipe’s emotional hole
- Funding the only booster you need for the next drop
- Settling arguments about who dug worse
If your crew cannot say the bankroll rule in one sentence, you are not ready to sit.
Bankroll rules that survive launch week
Pick one rule and tape it above the Discord channel:
- Vend-then-10%: vend fully, gamble up to ten percent of remaining surplus
- One-table: a single short session, then bar and prep
- Clean-extract-only: no casino after a wipe until one clean haul returns
- Hard lock: casino closed on learning nights
Hard lock pairs well with Sound Hunting practice weeks. You want reps in yards, not revenge spins.
How ship economy ties to grave loot
Grave boosters and vending boosters should feel like one kit. If you already extracted a strong speed find from Treasures & Boosters, maybe skip buying a duplicate and bank the cash. If you rejected curses all raid using Cursed Items discipline, do not undo the discipline by thimbling the haul into nothing.
The Tier List helps you decide which purchased boosters are actually worth a slot. This page decides the order of operations: extract, vend, optional gamble, then drop.
Social chaos at the tables
Casino time is peak betrayal comedy. Watch bags. Watch friends who suddenly love thimbles with your share. Agree whether winnings are personal or pool. Public lobbies make pool fragile—assume personal unless stated. Keep Controls sorted so you are not fumbling interact while someone walks off with the night’s work.
If a UFO wipe or monster wipe just happened, delay casino. Debrief first using the Monsters Hub lessons, then spend. Emotional gambling is how Dig Dig Die turns a funny horror night into a short one.
Prep loop after spending
Good ship loops look like this:
- Extract and count bags
- Vend necessities
- Optional capped casino
- Assign noise budget and roles
- Drop to Haunted Graveyards with a route
Bad ship loops look like this: extract, roulette, argue, undergeared drop, scream, repeat. Use Guides for the full raid script once the economy habit sticks.
Practice plan
- Two-raid sober night: vend only, no tables
- Surplus night: force a written 10% cap before blackjack
- Traitor-proof night: split valuables before anyone sits
The casino is content. Vending is power. Dig Dig Die wants both on the same deck—just not with the same priority. Return to the Loot Hub for the wider economy, and keep Locations open while you learn how ship flow feeds yard success.
