Find the delivery point
Buying in the city lobby does not immediately put the item in your hands. Enter the casino and find Sketchy Guy. Aim at the NPC, use E / Retrieve Items when it appears, then use each ground item’s pickup prompt.
The retrieval prompt is readable at 14:34 in the recorded example. You do not need to keep buying at the city shop because your hands are empty.
Holding is not activation
The 1.0.7 examples show E for interaction, Q for Throw and mouse-action icons for some items. Remapping was introduced in 1.0.30; follow your bindings and the item’s prompt.
| Item | How its action differs |
|---|---|
| Confidence / Insurance / Stake Holder books | Use once during an active casino day for a personal day-long upgrade. Purchase is not automatic team activation. |
| Holy Statue | Hold Raise to protect nearby loss settlements; active use is limited. |
| Camera | Switch on at another player’s settlement. A loss clears storage; breaking the camera cashes it out. |
| Taser | Use on a machine keypad to increase its maximum bet, not its win probability. |
| Golden Chip | A single free maximum-sized bet, not an unlimited free currency. |
Passing items and planning the day
Put down or throw an item so a teammate can pick it up. Follow the current short-action versus held-throw prompt rather than assuming every item uses one permanent left-click activation.
Personal book buffs clear on returning to the lobby. Whether every unused physical item carries across days was not verified; do not base a plan on guaranteed later inventory.
