There were three rooms, each with a different theme. Japanese room had sushi and geisha ladies on stilts. In the Chinese\u00c2\u00a0 room there was Shineese food and casino tables you can loose the \u00c2\u00a310,000 of money you are given at the entrance. Thanks to some good luck I managed to get that up to about \u00c2\u00a390,000 before loosing it all.
