I might have to claim Tiffany, the blond bunny-girl.
I love leggy women especially in high heels so this show has me hooked.
People forget winners spend money in casinos losers don't, that couple where the guy proposed to his girlfriend are now customers for life because that is now "their place".

The scene where The Godess of Victory kick the villain's asses was great. The Queen Killer facial expressions were kinda mushy, everything was bright, so damn reviving. Big boobs were everywhere in the casino.

Rio with the swimsuit on was spicy. <3

If they ever have a Yu-Gi-Oh speech of Heart of the Cards, I will be completely not-prepared for it and fall down. That is if they are able to bring this up from what I posted earlier in this thread.

I'm pretty sure there won't be any 'Heart of the Cards' speech and whatnot... at the very least, that is what I hope.

Its good to be prepared for it! You never know what will happen in Animes that it will possibly be too late!

Only just noticed this series right now and I'm already interested after just one episode.

Well I'll be waiting for any Yugioh reference, if my dungeon dice reference was any indication too bad there's no trap cards, although poker does have it's own way of doing that.

Say, speaking about the whole Gambling issue, has anyone here actually been to a big casino, say Las Vegas style or the like. I've been to Las Vegas several times, and I can say there's 2 types of "casino-goers": there's the just-for-fun, and there's the "I need to smoke and drink while placing my bet" type. Granted I was there for the entirely different reason (business), but staying at several of those hotel/casino's, my observations say gambling isn't addicting to everyone. For one thing, while my mum was in Europe recently (business), she approached the slots for the fun of the machine's gimmicks (and won continuously).

Or maybe my memories of Las Vegas are primarily due to gazing at the many Rio types there (merely on a greeting level mind you!)

Aha, a fellow comrade in arms in the leg department. It's certainly one of those reasons that'll keep me going through this series. And, I still demand it, RIO IN STOCKINGS NOW!

I'll admit it, I just can't wait for the next episode

About time there are some more bunnygirl in anime

I got a feeling that this anime is going to be predicable here so I will stay for the fanservice

Watched it now, and it was quite pleasant to watch
Rio is certainly quite appealing, and she's good at cosplay with her costumes
I'm sure we'll see her wearing more costumes in the following episodes.
I found the bunny suit twins (Iru and Eru) even more appealing. They have the best bunny suits I've ever seen, instead of the usual ugly stockings, they're wearing lovely kneesocks! Now that's full of win!
I'll therefore claim the twins! Too bad they don't have twintails, that would make them perfect. Hair colour wise, I like the blue-haired twin (Eru) somewhat better than the green-haired one (Iru). Pink/Purple/Blue are my favourite hair colours
Eru also reminds me somewhat of Junko from Ichiban Ushiro.

About Rio being the "Goddess of Fortune", it really makes sense. Her reputation of making people win wherever she appears makes the casino very popular, and she's only one girl who covers only a small part of the big casino. Besides, having customers win once in between because of her makes them more likely to stay longer, hoping for another win, and thus spending more money.

I think we can safely say going by these pictures, that the ED is the best part of the show.

In terms of fanservice, yeah, definitely.

Seriously, I'm not even looking at it with yuri goggles or anything, but it really is pretty suspect. Let's see:

1. She went all over the casino looking for her, and is immediately interested on first sight.
2. She wants her to be her big sister, even calling her Onee-sama (thanks Railgun and Kuroko for altering what this word means for me)
3. The aforementioned 'indecent proposal'
4. She's the one who 'accidentally' rip off Rio's wedding dress.

Of course, I'm just kidding, besides with her age chances of a serious romantic focus is close to impossible anyway...

Ehh, I don't mind all that much. Personally, I find the over-the-top gambling duel at the end the most interesting part of the episode, I won't mind if the series is more focused on that (with fanservice too, of course, let's not forget its roots). As long as they realize how silly it would be...

This is basically Vice: The Anime. Also, Rio is, like, the most blatant mary sue (in this case, a Canon Sue) i've ever seen in the history of anime. And she's totally exploited; to me she's more like an object (that is made to satisfy others) than a person. But then that's the entire point of this anime. No deconstruction here.

Btw, don't you think that Rosa is fixated on Rio?

KISS THE BALL!
