Square Enix has released some more information about the highly anticipated Manderville Gold Saucer content hitting Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn next Tuesday in patch 2.51.

Players who fancy themselves a gamble can head over to the famed casino and take part in games of chance, skill and an all new Active Time Event system. The return of the Manderville Saucer has been a long time coming, with its last appearance in Final Fantasy VII. Square thinks the wait will be absolutely worth it.
The casino opens its doors to all next Tuesday, February 24. No need to bring any real money or acquired in-game currency to the tables, you'll be playing for and betting with Manderville Gold Saucer points exclusively while inside.

The Manderville will focus on two new mini-games, though more are available: Triple Triad and Chocobo racing. Triple Triad was introduced in the very underappreciated Final Fantasy VIII and is a capture card game that is highly addictive. Players can go up against various NPCs across the casino to attempt to collect the 80 currently available cards. "Roughly half are rewards for defeating NPCs. Some NPCs have quite rare cards that can't be won easily, so please be sure to take on NPCs again and again to collect them all." Forum mod Gildrein said in a recent blog post highlighting the latest live Q&A with the game's producers.
Finally, "The Jumbo Cactpot is a weekly lottery that you can participate in once every earth week by purchasing a ticket with four numbers you select. You purchase this ticket with Manderville Gold Saucer points, and each week there will be a drawing that takes place in the Manderville Gold Saucer. If the numbers you picked match the ones selected by the bow and arrow, you will obtain a reward."
All of this comes to the servers next week.
