Game Corner Guide: Coin Case Location, Hidden Coins & Prizes in Pokémon Infinite Fusion

The Pokémon Infinite Fusion Game Corner in Celadon City is where your spare cash turns into rare items and Pokémon, but only if you know the two things almost every player gets wrong: the Coin Case is not inside the Game Corner at all, and the building itself has a split personality depending on the time of day. This complete Game Corner guide for Pokémon Infinite Fusion (version 6.7.2) covers where to get the Coin Case, the 305 hidden coins most players walk past, how the slot machines work, what the prize counter next door sells, and the day-night secret of the Café next door that can cost you karma if you are not careful.

Where to Find the Game Corner in Pokémon Infinite Fusion

The Game Corner is one of Celadon City’s landmarks, in the big city you reach from Route 7 in the east or Route 16 in the west. It is the casino building full of slot machines, and it sits in the same district as the Department Store, the Hotel, and the Café. If you are still working your way to Celadon and have not installed the game yet, download Pokémon Infinite Fusion first, then play through to Celadon City, which hosts the fourth gym and Erika, its leader.

One warning before you walk in: there is a famous poster in the top right corner of the Game Corner. Interact with it and your character looks behind it and finds nothing. It is a deliberate joke referencing the official games, where a switch behind a poster revealed Team Rocket’s hideout. Here, the joke is the whole point.

Getting the Coin Case: The Step Everyone Misses

You cannot touch the slot machines or buy a single coin without a Coin Case. And the Coin Case is not in the Game Corner. It is given to you by a Gentleman in the Café during the day. The Café is the house directly to the right of the Hotel, in the south-east part of the city.

Timing is everything here. The interior of the Café changes based on the time of day. Come during the day and you will find the retired gambler at the back of the room. Talk to him and he hands over the Coin Case for free, explaining that he is done with gambling. Come at night and he is gone, the room is dark and deserted, and the flower pots at the top of the room have been moved aside to reveal a door. That door leads to the Team Rocket Black Market, where you can buy stolen and randomized fusions.

The practical takeaway: visit the Café during the day first. Grab the Coin Case before you do anything else in the district. If you only arrive at night, come back when the sun is up. You cannot use the Game Corner at all until the Gentleman gives you that case.

The Café’s Daytime Bonuses (and Its Nighttime Danger)

The daytime Café is worth a full sweep, not just the Coin Case. A Cool Trainer inside will hand over a Carbos after you defeat him, and Super Nerd Miguel offers you a choice between a Skull Fossil and an Armor Fossil after you beat him. Miguel is the same fossil maniac you may have met twice before, and this is your second chance at a fossil Pokémon. If you want the full breakdown of what each fossil becomes and how to revive them, our fossil Pokémon guide covers the whole process. There is also a barista selling Coffee for ₽200.

Right next door, in the house to the right of the Café, two Cool Trainers wait, and one of them gives you Super Splicers, the upgraded version of DNA Splicers. Since Super Splicers let you reverse fusions, that single conversation is one of the most valuable freebies in Celadon City.

Now the warning. At night, the Café becomes a front operation for Team Rocket, and the Black Market sells stolen Pokémon and randomized fusions. Two things to know before you browse: these fusions cannot be unfused, and buying anything from Team Rocket lowers your Karma. Karma affects story outcomes in Infinite Fusion, so casual shopping here has a real cost. If you want the Black Market’s stock without the story consequences, that is a decision to make deliberately, not by accident.

The 305 Hidden Coins Inside the Game Corner

Here is the detail that turns a mediocre Game Corner visit into a great one. After you obtain the Coin Case, there are 305 coins hidden by the chairs of the slot machines and around the plants inside the Game Corner. These are free pickups. Walk the rows of machines, check behind every chair and around every plant, and collect them before you spend a single Pokédollar on coins.

Three hundred and five coins is a serious head start. Depending on what you are saving for at the prize counter, it can cover a meaningful chunk of the cost outright. This is the single highest-value action in the Game Corner, and it costs you nothing but thoroughness. Do this first, then decide how much of your own money you want to convert into coins.

Playing the Slot Machines

With the Coin Case in your bag, you can sit at any slot machine in the Game Corner. The machines work like classic casino slots: insert coins, spin the reels, and win coins back on matching symbols. It is the fastest way to grow a coin balance without spending real in-game money, but it is also the fastest way to lose one, so a few ground rules keep the experience healthy.

• Set a coin budget before you sit down. Decide how many coins you are willing to lose on the slots, and stop when you hit the number. The slots are entertainment with a prize attached, not an investment strategy.
• Collect the hidden coins first. The 305 free coins by the chairs and plants are guaranteed value. Slots are not. Always take the guaranteed money before gambling.
• Small, steady sessions beat marathon sessions. Short bursts keep you aware of how many coins you have spent. Long unattended sessions are where balances quietly evaporate.
• Know when the prize counter matters more. If you are close to affording the prize you actually want, stop spinning and go buy it. A won prize beats a hypothetical jackpot.

A note on honesty: the exact payout rates and jackpot mechanics of Infinite Fusion’s slot machines are not documented on the wiki, and we will not invent numbers for them. Treat the machines as a coin multiplier with unknown odds, and size your bets accordingly.

The Prize Counter: What Your Coins Buy

The small building right next to the Game Corner is the prize counter. This is where coins become real value. You trade your coins for items and Pokémon that you cannot easily get elsewhere. In a fusion-focused game, prize Pokémon are especially interesting, because an unusual species can become the head or body of a fusion you cannot build any other way. Run any prize Pokémon through the Pokémon Infinite Fusion calculator before you commit coins, so you know exactly what the fusion would look like.

The same honesty applies here as with the slots: the wiki does not publish a full, verified prize list with coin costs for version 6.7.2, so we are not going to present a fake one. Check the counter in-game, note the prices, and plan your coin target from the 305 free coins upward. What we can say with confidence is that the prize counter is the entire reason the Game Corner exists, and skipping it means leaving the building’s best value on the table.

What to Prioritize With Your Coins

Once you have coins in hand, the question is what to spend them on first. The right answer depends on where you are in the game, but a few principles hold up regardless of the exact prize list.

Prize Pokémon first if they unlock fusions. In Infinite Fusion, a single unusual species can be worth more than any held item, because it becomes permanent fusion material. A prize Pokémon with a strong typing or ability can anchor a team for the rest of the game. Before you spend coins on one, check what it fuses into with partners you already own. The Coin Case itself is a key item, and if you are tracking the game’s key items systematically, our key item locations guide maps every other one worth picking up while you are at it.

Rare items second. Evolution stones, rare candies, and battle items that are hard to find elsewhere are the next best use of coins. Cross-reference with what you can already farm: if an item is purchasable in a Mart or farmable on a route, it is a worse use of coins than something exclusive to the prize counter.

Consumables last. Spend coins on one-time-use items only after the permanent prizes are secured. Coins take real time or real money to accumulate, and consumables disappear the moment you use them.

As a rough rule of thumb, treat your 305 free coins as the seed money for your first real prize, and treat everything you earn or buy beyond that as progress toward the second. That framing keeps the Game Corner feeling like a reward system instead of a grind.

A Smart Game Corner Route, Step by Step

Put it all together and the optimal Celadon City casino run looks like this:

• 1. Arrive during the day. The Coin Case, the Carbos, the fossil choice, and the Super Splicers all require daytime.
• 2. Get the Coin Case from the Gentleman in the Café. Talk to the retired gambler at the back of the room.
• 3. Sweep the daytime Café and the house next door. Beat the Cool Trainer for the Carbos, beat Miguel for your fossil pick, and collect the Super Splicers from the house to the right.
• 4. Walk into the Game Corner and collect the 305 hidden coins. Check behind every slot machine chair and around every plant.
• 5. Check the prize counter next door. Note the prices of the items and Pokémon you actually want, and set a coin target.
• 6. Play the slots only with a budget. Use a fixed number of coins, stop at your limit, and buy your prize as soon as you can afford it.
• 7. Decide about the Black Market separately. If you go back at night, remember that purchases lower your Karma and the fusions cannot be unfused.

Game Corner FAQ

Where is the Coin Case in Pokémon Infinite Fusion?

The Coin Case is given by a Gentleman in the Café in Celadon City during the day. The Café is the house directly to the right of the Hotel. You must visit during daytime; at night the Café becomes a Team Rocket Black Market and the Gentleman is gone.

Can you use the Game Corner without a Coin Case?

No. You cannot play the slot machines or buy coins without the Coin Case. Get it from the daytime Café first, then head to the Game Corner.

Are there free coins in the Game Corner?

Yes. After obtaining the Coin Case, you can find 305 coins hidden by the chairs of the slot machines and around the plants inside the Game Corner. Collect these before spending any money on coins.

What does the prize counter sell?

The small building next to the Game Corner trades coins for items and Pokémon. The exact prize list and coin costs are not documented on the wiki for version 6.7.2, so check the counter in-game and plan your coin target from there.

Should you buy from the Black Market at night?

Only deliberately. The nighttime Black Market in the Café sells stolen Pokémon and randomized fusions that cannot be unfused, and every purchase lowers your Karma, which affects story outcomes. It is a real option with real costs, not a casual shop.

Cashing Out: The Game Corner Done Right

The Pokémon Infinite Fusion Game Corner is a small building with an outsized payoff, as long as you work it in the right order. Daytime Café first for the Coin Case, the Carbos, the fossil, and the Super Splicers. Game Corner second for the 305 hidden coins. Prize counter third to set your target. Slots last, with a budget, and only until you can afford what you came for. Keep the nighttime Black Market as a separate, deliberate decision, and never spend karma by accident. Played this way, the Game Corner funds your fusion projects instead of draining them. When your prize Pokémon are in hand, the team builder is the natural next stop to plan where they fit.
