Learn the best strategy to earn Medals in The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero's Barca Casino. Master poker to acquire valuable gear like the Martial Arts Uniform and Purrfect Boots efficiently.
When you enter the casino, talk to the bunny girl behind the exchange counter and select "Exchange" twice. This allows you to trade Mira for Medals at a rate of 5 Mira per Medal. Medals are the in-house currency for the Barca Casino, used to play games and earn more Medals, which can then be exchanged for prizes.
Check the "Trade" option to see available items:
| Items | Medals | Effects |
|---|---|---|
| Martial Arts Uniform | 1,000 | DEF+20, SPD+5 |
| Purrfect Boots | 500 | DEF+5, MOV+2, EVA+10% |
| Darts Set | 1,000 | Decoration for Randy’s Room |
The Martial Arts Uniform and Purrfect Boots offer superior stats for their cost. Acquiring four sets of these items will cost 6,000 Medals, equivalent to 30,000 Mira.
Fortunately, with some time and save-scumming, you can acquire the necessary Medals more efficiently.
Best Way to Win Medals in the Barca Casino
Spend some Mira to acquire a starting pool of Medals. 500 Mira will buy 100 Medals, which should be sufficient. You'll find three games of chance: blackjack, poker, and roulette.
Blackjack
Blackjack requires a 5 Medal buy-in. The reward payouts start at 10 Medals and increase with consecutive wins:
| Rounds Won | Blackjack Payout |
|---|---|
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 25 |
| 3 | 75 |
| 4 | 200 |
| 5 | 500 |
Winning four games in a row is necessary for a worthwhile reward, and the dealer can win often, slowing the process.
Roulette
Roulette's odds and payout are poor. Stacking 10 chips on a single result offers a 36-to-1 payout, with a maximum of 360 Medals. You must place chips every time, making it inefficient.
Poker
Poker is the most efficient game. You receive three cards to hold or redraw, sharing three immutable cards with the dealer. The goal is to make a five-card hand stronger than the dealer's. The buy-in is 5 Medals.
The more consecutive games won, the higher the prize. The maximum payout is 1,000 Medals after seven rounds. By using the "Raise" option (costing 10 Medals), you can reach the max prize of 1,000 Medals in just four games, at the risk of only 45 Medals.
| Rounds Won | Poker Payout | Payout w/Raise |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 25 |
| 2 | 25 | 150 |
| 3 | 75 | 500 |
| 4 | 150 | 1,000 |
| 5 | 300 | – |
| 6 | 500 | – |
| 7 | 1,000 | – |
The dealer is often incompetent at poker, rarely assembling a hand higher than a pair. Winning six bouts of poker (twenty-four hands) should get you most of the way to your goal. This process should take less than an hour for significantly better armor and shoes.
