Find the Always Bet on Duke (+2 Ego) Ego Boost in Duke Nukem Forever by navigating the casino and surviving ambushes.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After opening the gate, cross the room with two Assault Troopers and slip under the gate at the other end.
  2. 2
    Hop out of your car and crouch under the door.
  3. 3
    Head to the roulette table, grab any needed Pistol ammo, and jump onto the table.
  4. 4
    Jump onto the cigarette vending machines, then onto a stool that bounces you to the next table.
  5. 5
    Use the next stool to bounce to the last table, turn left, and jump onto a couch that bounces you to a mini forest.
  6. 6
    Once you land, two Rats will engage you. You can jump back onto the edge of the couch to attack them safely, or face them directly where one melee attack is sufficient, but be cautious of their damage.
  7. 7
    After defeating the Rats, jump to the next potted plant and press the button to raise the gate.
  8. 8
    Climb back into your car and follow the two ramps until you reach a door that opens just enough to sneak through.
  9. 9
    Enter the casino room full of slot machines and turn left at what looks like the second-last exit.
  10. 10
    Use the ramp here to turbo boost across.
  11. 11
    In the next room, which is filled with Berserk Pigcops that spawn endlessly, hit the turbo boost if one approaches to stun it and allow escape.
  12. 12
    Follow the trail and jump over the flaming pit.
  13. 13
    After crashing and losing your wheels, push a trolley or vase to the switch and climb over couches to open the gate.
  14. 14
    Enter the next room, restore yourself to full size, and grab your Shotgun for an ambush.
  15. 15
    Defeat Wave 1: Assault Trooper Captain.
  16. 16
    Defeat Wave 2: Assault Trooper Captain.
  17. 17
    Defeat Wave 3: Two Assault Trooper Captains.
  18. 18
    Defeat Wave 4: Two Assault Trooper Captains.
  19. 19
    Defeat Wave 5: Two Assault Trooper Captains. Use your Shotgun to defeat them, as pillars can crumble if shot too much. If captains remain flying, use your Pistol to make them crash.
  20. 20
    After defeating the last captain, use the ammo stockpile by the gate and perform a Strength Tap to open the security mesh.
  21. 21
    A difficult section follows. Strategy A: Jump over the pit, then run back to clear it as soon as you hear Berserk Pigcops spawn. Pick them off with your Pistol. Strategy B: Before jumping, pick up a vase, jump over the pit with it, and kill the Berserk Pigcop when it appears. Then, sprint to the slot machine area.
  22. 22
    Jump over the pile of rubble blocking your way.
  23. 23
    Move forward and to the right after clearing the rubble to find a stash of Pistol and Shotgun ammo.
  24. 24
    A Berserk Pigcop will rush you; use your Shotgun or throw a garbage can at it.
  25. 25
    After more rocks and shakes, a hole appears in the ceiling with a spotlight indicating where enemies will spawn.
  26. 26
    Defeat Wave 1: Two Pistol Pigcops, both go Berserk when they land.
  27. 27
    Defeat Wave 2: Two Shotgun Pigcops.
  28. 28
    Defeat Wave 3: Two Assault Troopers.
  29. 29
    Defeat Wave 4: Two Assault Captains.
  30. 30
    Defeat Wave 5: Two Assault Captains.
  31. 31
    To deal with the first two waves, either rush them with your Shotgun or grab a garbage can and line up a throw to hit both at once.
  32. 32
    The next three waves can be handled with similar tactics, but are more dangerous. Race up to them and blast them, or use a garbage can to hit at least one.
  33. 33
    Take advantage of executions to kill enemies and recharge your Ego.
  34. 34
    Find more Shotgun ammo to the left of the glowing golden door.
  35. 35
    Perform a Strength Tap, move through the casino and hallway to reach the room with the car to be won.
  36. 36
    Pick up a garbage can to use on the way to the next ambush.
Tips
  • The Always Bet on Duke (+2 Ego) Ego Boost is located after the first set of Assault Trooper Captain ambushes, near the area where you must perform a Strength Tap to open a security mesh.
  • If you want to safely deal with the Rats, jump back onto the edge of the couch they spawned near.
  • Dropships are invincible and cannot be destroyed.
  • During the Assault Trooper Captain ambushes, if explosive weapons are patched into the game and dropships are destroyed, all remaining troopers will teleport into the room.
  • There is a Beer hidden in the central area before the second major ambush, but using it now is ill-advised.
  • Executions kill enemies and recharge your Ego.
