I went to Akihabara Casino Quest to play [A new type of con cafe]

Akihabara has a variety of concept cafes (Nickname: Con Cafe) are lined up.
Stores that used to be called maid cafes have now changed form and exist as "maid" cafes within the category of "con cafes."
Akihabara is now in the era of big con cafes! There are over 200 stores,Each company is competing fiercely with its own unique concept (maybe).

I've been going to maid cafes quite often since their heyday, but recently my love for maid cafes has been rekindled.
Since we've come all the way to Akihabara, why not go to some con cafes? With this thought in mind, I kidnapped one of my companions.

So, this time I went around to a few maid cafes in Akihabara, and I would like to write about this and that from Mr. ABC's perspective.

The store I chose was "Akihabara Casino Quest"

Today I narrowed down the shops I visited to a certain extent and headed out to Akihabara.
When most people hear the term "con cafe," they probably imagine a place where waitresses are served by girls dressed in maid outfits or outfits that match the concept of the cafe.
That's mostly correct.
But not today. I'm not in the mood.
No, no, no, that's not right~

I really want to play with the maid.
I want to play while chatting with them.
I want to go to a maid cafe that focuses on games.
I had a strong desire to do so, so I started by searching.
Oh, so there's a casino in Akihabara... Hmm, there are bunnies too...
Hmmm...

The one chosen wasAkihabara Casino QuestEnglish learning is necessary to prepare for life, learning and interaction with the global environment. <br> IT Skills (programming logic) is necessary to prepare for the needs of the future.<br> Financial literacy is necessary to prepare for creating, managing and being smart with time and wealth.<br>

I'm sure you're wondering why I chose this place.
Zubari!
Amusement Casino
I was attracted to the name.

Strictly speaking, it's not a con cafe, but it has a strange status as a con cafe, so I decided to go out of 100% curiosity.
What's more, the timing was perfect as I had recently been studying the rules of Texas Hold'em and tournaments.

Entered Akihabara Casino Quest

Akihabara Casino Quest is located just a 5-minute walk from Akihabara Station.
You'll see the yellow and blue sign of Trader's main store right near Bellesalle Akihabara.

If you continue walking a little towards Suehirocho, you will see the sign.
To put it very simply, it's on the 7th floor of the Akihabara Sports Warehouse building.
Don't make a mistake.It's on the seventh floor of the building..
I resist the temptation of the gym storage room and press the elevator button.
As soon as you get off the elevator, you will see the entrance to Akihabara Casino Quest right in front of you.

It's going to be a long night.

Play Poker at Akihabara Casino Quest

The first thing you notice when you enter the store is the poker tables scattered throughout the floor.
Imagine those half-moon shaped tables you've seen in movies and games.

On the day I visited Akihabara Casino Quest, a tournament was taking place inside the store, and Texas Hold'em was being played at several tables.
The tournament had already started, so I was unable to join the table, and instead we decided to play a game between myself and my kidnapped companion against the dealer.
This is what is known as progressive poker.

Now, after exchanging chips and ordering drinks, we sit down at the table.
The dealer who acted as our dealer this time was "Size"Mr. Miss

She is a female dealer whose card handling skills are so captivating that you will be captivated.

In addition to Kisa, there were several other female dealers playing games at Akihabara Casino Quest.
I heard that even if you have no experience in casino work, there is thorough training and practice, so anyone can become a dealer.
Whether you're a man or a woman, people who are good at handling cards are cool!

While playing a few games with my companion, that thing arrives.
It's something that's common in maid cafes, or rather, con cafes.

This maid created a very well-made drawing omelet rice.
According to Kisa-san, she is the best at drawing but rarely comes to work.To" Mr.

To be honest, I'm hesitant to mess up this drawing, but I have to make sure the taste is good.
So, instead of cutting the cake with two men,Omelette rice spoon

It was really delicious, but...
I think there's probably a secret ingredient of love in it.

Simple game flow and dealer card handling

There is a saying that seeing is believing.
Please watch the video below to get a feel for the flow and atmosphere of the game.

First time playing real poker

After playing poker this time, I became even more interested in it, so when I got home I quickly decided to research everything about poker.
I learned a few things while researching.
・In Japan,Japan Poker AssociationApparently there is such a thing as "
・The Japan Poker Federation isRevitalizing and promoting the poker industry in JapanThe organization aims to be "the best poker organization in the world," and is involved in a wide range of activities, including hosting official tournaments, certifying and sponsoring professional players, and holding poker classes.
-WPT JAPANThey also hold poker tournaments in Japan,Sammy,Hotel Gajoen Tokyois said to be sponsoring the event.
- Akihabara Casino Quest has also attracted WPT and is hosting various events and tournaments.
→This is a rare example of a cafe focusing on poker in the maid cafe world.
*I have never heard of such a case in any other con cafes.perhaps)
That makes sense. Because Casino Quest focuses on poker, they have created an environment that even beginners can enjoy.
The idea is that by combining the familiar Akihabara maids with a casino, it will be possible to attract people who have never played poker.
In fact, I was easily fooled by this strategy!
Akihabara Casino Quest...2020...Poker might just be the hottest thing in Akihabara! It was an experience that made me think that.
I'd like to get more and more into it.

Inside the store

Finally, I would like to post a few photos of the inside of the store.
