"In Chapter 1 while in Ruan you'll notice that a better fishing rod and a Gambler Jack volume are available as prizes in the Casino. You may also notice that they cost the same Medals used to play the various casino games rather than their own prize tokens. Trade Mira for Medals and just buy them both."

I have to disagree with the above, for the simple fact that the Poker mini-game is absurdly player-friendly. The way it works is that a winning hand nets you a multiplier to your bet based on how you won. A pair is worth x2 and two pair is worth x3, all the way up to a royal flush (x500). When you win, you have the option of doubling down and continuing to wager your winnings. Sequential wins will apply multipliers to each other (so pair, pair, two pair = x2 x2 x3 = x12). With a 75% chance of getting a winning hand every round even with the simplest strategy means you can hit at least 10000 medals in 10% of games, more than enough to buy everything in the casino. Savescumming will net you these prizes in short order.

Just thought I'd note this for anyone who comes visiting, although I didn't want to start a pissing match on the main article page. --Antoids

I don't think it's an issue - I've made a minor edit to your addition to the main page, to present your approach as an alternative. I think that's best for everyone. --Anthony
