Emperor’s Grace Slot Machine

The Emperor’s Grace Slot Machine requires Emperor’s Casino Chips to use, it is the most expensive Slot Machine in the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife Event and includes to most coveted and rarest prizes and rewards as a result.

To spin the Emperor’s Grace slot machine, it consumes 1 Emperor’s Casino Chip.
When you spin the Emperor’s Grace slot machine there is huge chance of winning a physical prize, but you can still fail. If you win then you will win your Emperor’s Casino Chip back, there is also a large chance the machine will Jackpot and you will win a Prize!

Emperor’s Casino Chips

You can see how many Nightlife Casino Chips you have in the Currency Tab of your character’s Inventory. Nightlife Event Casino Chips are a ‘Bound’ currency, this means that Casino Chips you buy or earn on one character cannot be used on another.

Emperor’s Casino Chip – Costs 7,500,000 Credits
Max Bet Chips can only be purchased from the Hospitality Vendors at the VIP Lounge of the Fleet:
Max Bet Emperor’s Casino Chip – Costs 150,000,000 Credits or trade in 20 Emperor’s Casino Chips

While regular Casino Chips are much cheaper, Max Bet Chips have a much higher chance to win any kind of prize in exchange for more credits at the VIP Lounge on the Fleet.

To obtain Nightlife Event Rewards it does not matter whether you use a regular Casino Chip or a Max Bet Casino Chip, as the prizes from both Slot Machines are the same. You are paying a higher cost at the Max Bet machine for the convenience of winning more often.

Strategy Guide

There are many ways to earn Emperor’s Cashino Chips or guarantee only Jackpot wins from the Emperor’s Grace Slot Machine.

How to Farm Emperors Chips

Casino Chips can drop from completing the following activities:
Killing Mobs in the Open World
Flashpoint Bosses
Uprising final Boss
Operations Bosses
Completing a Warzone

Killing Bosses in Master Mode Flashpoints has a higher chance of giving Kingpin or Emperor Chips over Veteran or Story Mode.
Killing Bosses in Veteran (Hardmode) Operations has a higher chance of giving Kingpin or Emperor Chips over Story Mode Operations.
Killing Bosses in Master Mode (Nightmare) Operations always gives multiple Emperor Chips per boss.

Group Player/CoOp Flashpoint Strategy: It seems that the more players you have in a group, the higher your chances are of getting Emperor’s Chips are when you play Flashpoints in any difficulty.
To make the most out of Emperor’s Chips drops, I suggest getting into a group of 2-4 players all using Stealth Classes and playing any fast [Story] Flashpoint that gives the God Robot to take care of all healing and tanking for you.
Each player appears to get at least 1-2 Emperor’s Chips per flashpoint.

Republic Flashpoints: should play Taral V, Korriban Incursion or Blood Hunt.
Imperial Flashpoints: should play Boarding Party, Korriban Incursion, Blood Hunt or Objective Meridian (Meridian has no God Robot, use Heal Companion or Operative player).

If you are a skilled group of players (with one healer) and all using stealth, consider Master Mode Hammer Station instead as you are guaranteed closer to 2-5 Emperor’s Chips per person, per run.

Solo Player / Open World Strategy: Killing enemies in the Open World has a rare chance of dropping Emperor’s Chips as loot.
If you want to effectively farm Emperor’s Chips, then I suggest killing mobs on low level planets such as gangsters on Coruscant, slaves on Dromund Kaas, Bugtown on Balmorra (Imperial) or rakghouls on Taris (Republic).
Any location that has a LOT of mobs that are easy to kill in large groups is your best chance. Once you stop getting any loot at all from a group of mobs you need to try a different planet or location. Using this method you can earn around 20-30 Emperor’s Casino Chips per hour.

Always Win Emperor’s Grace Slot Prizes

There are two buffs you can earn that increase your chances at winning prizes at the Kingpin and Emperor’s Slot machine.

The Feeling Lucky buff lasts for 2 minutes and increases your chances of winning a prize from the Kingpin or Emperor’s Slot machine. It can be gained randomly when spinning a Smuggler’s Slot machine OR by drinking at any of the cantina bar decorations at the Casino on Nar Shaddaa.

The Good Karma buff lasts for 10 minutes and increases your chances of winning a prize from the Emperor’s Slot machine. It can be gained randomly when spinning a Kingpin’s Slot machine OR by completing the Counterfeit Tokens: Mek-Sha mission and choosing to capture or kill the Red Twilek.

Strategy: If you want to win Jackpot prizes from the Emperor’s Grace slot machine, I suggest only using regular Emperor’s Grace casino chips and avoiding Max Bet chips completely!

Save up around 15 or more Emperor’s Casino chips (I suggest stockpiling up to 100) and around 30 Smuggler’s Chips and 30 Kingpin Chips.
Start by spinning the Kingpin Chips until you get the Good Karma Buff (lasts 10 minutes).

You then need to race to the closest Smuggler’s Luck Slot Machine, spin the Smuggler’s Luck slot machines until you have the Feeling Lucky buff as well as the Good Karma buff.

+ Now that you have both the Good Karma and Feeling Lucky buff your chances of winning prizes from the Emperor’s Machine are 100%. Spin until you have used up all your Emperor’s Chips or the Feeling Lucky buff runs out.
