Vegas Connection: Casino Kara Ai wo Komete (ベガスコネクションカジノより愛をこめて^?)^[2] is a Japan-only Famicom game. The general idea of the game is that the player is in Las Vegas and he has to solve a major crime that has occurred some place in the city. There is also an option to skip the crime fighting and go straight to the gambling games (blackjack, slot machines, roulette, and poker).

If the player runs out of money, the game instantly ends with a reminder in Japanese for the player to reset the game in order to continue playing. No Japanese literacy skills are necessary to play the standalone games, but the main story requires strong literacy skills due to the mature content of the game.
