The nightlife event is here! Sometimes known as the casino event in SWTOR, this event has some big changes for 2025, with this year’s event running July 8 – August 18, 2025. The most important thing to keep in mind while playing this event is that you do not need to buy tokens – you will get lots just for playing the game, especially from Flashpoints and Operations!
Update: The developers took the game down for a short time and fix a nasty bug related to tokens being deleted and set to zero. Your tokens should be restored if you lost them, and it seems safe to play the nightlife event! If you have tokens spread acrsoss multiple characters, you may need to log in to them one by before they get added to your legacy-wide pool of tokens / chips.
Some of the great additions for this year include:
- 10 new item rewards!
- All Casino Chips /tokens are now Legacy-wide currency (not split between characters!)
- Drop Rates for Emperor’s Casino Chip has been increased in Master Flashpoints, Veteran Operations, and Master Operations!
- You can not lose on Emperor’s Grace and Emperor’s Grace Max Bet Machines.
- Lucky and Good Karma buffs now last ten minutes – no rushing needed!
- New achievements

What is the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event?
The Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event is a limited time event in Star Wars: The Old Republic where you can head to Nar Shaddaa and gamble your credits away for a chance to win some unique prizes during this once-yearly event set in the summer. In short, put in tokens, get prizes! You can either purchase tokens with credits, or earn them while playing.

To start the event, you can interact with the floating terminal in the center ring of the Republic or Imperial fleet which will give you some free gambling chips and send you towards the event on Nar Shaddaa. This introductory quest can be started at level 15 or higher.

The casino where the event takes place is located roughly in the middle of Nar Shaddaa’s map, in the Star Cluster Casino on the republic side and the Club Vertical club imperial side. Any character that has earned their ship and can travel to Nar Shaddaa can participate in this event.

New for 2025
There are some major changes for 2025, in addition to new rewards!
The following changes are being made to the event for 2025!
All Chips are now Legacy Currency
- As you login to your character you character currency will be converted to legacy currency to be accessible on all characters.
- This can cause the currency to go over the cap – this will prevent you from gaining more chips until you spend them so if you go over the cap remember you can turn them into Max Bet Chips at the Hospitality Vendors in the VIP area of the Fleet!
- Most Chip Currency limits have also been increased! All normal chips are now capped at 1,000,000 and all Max Bet chips are capped at 100,000.
Drop Rates for Emperor’s Casino Chip has been increased in Master Flashpoints, Veteran Operations, and Master Operations!
You can not lose on Emperor’s Grace and Emperor’s Grace Max Bet Machines. [[Previously the advice was: You can now lose on the Emperor’s Grace slot machine (before you would always win a prize or your chip back). Emperor’s Grace and Emperor’s Grace Max Bet no longer will award Chips of any kind.]]
Lucky and Good Karma buffs:
- Now both are 10 minutes long so you no longer need to get them in a specific order to maximize effectiveness on the Emperor’s Grace machines. [[Feeling Lucky used to only last 2 minutes, now is 10. Good Karma has always been 10.]]
- Only removed by the timer running out or from a successful Jackpot! [[I think this is due to a silly set of circumstance where You can get a GURANTEED GOOD KARMA BUFF by choosing to KILL or CAPTURE the Red Twi’leks crew in the Counterfeit Tokens: Mek-Sha Quest – but unfortunately this buff disappeared if you leave the planet – and there wasn’t an Emperor’s Grace machine on Mek-Sha. Before, also the advice was: You can get the Good Karma buff from the purple Kingpin’s Bounty machines, it gives you an improved chance of winning at the Kingpin’s Bounty slots (purple ones) or Emperor’s Grace slots (Hutt one). It lasts ten (10) minutes, or until a Kingpin’s Bounty win, or until an Emperor’s Grace win, death,or departing the area. So you want to watch for it, and if you get it, you likely don’t want to waste it on the Kingpin’s purple slot machines. Note that a “win” may include lesser prizes you don’t want, BUT, it will not disappear if you win a Golden Certificate! — You can get the Feeling Lucky buff from the green Smuggler’s Luck machines, it gives you an improved chance of winning at the Kingpin’s Bounty slots (purple ones) or Emperor’s Grace slots (Hutt one). It lasts two (only 2! hurry!) minutes, or until a Kingpin’s Bounty win, or until an Emperor’s Grace win, death or departing the area. So you want to watch for it, and if you get it, you likely don’t want to waste it on the Kingpin’s purple slot machines. Note that a “win” may include lesser prizes you don’t want, BUT, it will not disappear if you win a Golden Certificate!]]
- Jackpots on Smuggler’s Luck do not remove Lucky or Good Karma.
- The effect cannot be reapplied until the timer runs out or it is removed by a Jackpot, so if you lose it you’ll need to get it again.
Winning Chips:
- Like past iterations you can get your Chip back from the machine instead of winning.
- This no longer counts as a win.
- It does not play the win visual effects or grant achievement progress
- All machines have a chance of giving your Chip back now.
- It is possible to get the Chips from the next tier machine
- It is possible to get the Max Bet Chip for the current tier machine
- Max Bet machines can give Chips for the next tier Max Bet machine.
New Achievements have been added for playing on all machines.
New Achievements

2024 Changes
- High Stakes Squadron Helmet – Binds to Legacy, small chance to be won from the Emperor’s Grace slot machine
- Double Agent Dye Module – 6 Golden Certificates (earned during the event)
- Shady Gambler Dye Module – 6 Golden Certificates (earned during the event)
New Conquest Objectives:
- Nar Nightlife: Spin to Win: Win on Smuggler’s Luck, Kingpin’s Bounty, or Emperor’s Grace. [5 times]
- Nar Nightlife: Graced by the Emperor: Play Emperor’s Grace slot machines. [20 times]
“New” Achievements:
(located under Events -> General -> Nar Shaddaa Nightlife)
- You Get a Skiff!: Won a High Roller Skiff from an Emperor’s Grace slot machine.
- Astonishing Armory: Collect all [6] of the High Roller weapons. (these are Binds on Equip, so you may be able to buy these or if you have unequipped copies send them in the mail to another character to trigger this achievement)
- High Stakes Squadron Member: Obtained a High Stakes Squadron Helmet from an Emperor’s Grace slot machine. (the new reward)
- Emperor’s Prize / Jackpot Enjoyer / Praise the Hutt: Won a prize from an Emperor’s Grace slot machine [1/10/100] times. (this includes winning small prizes, not just jackpots)
Win/Losses Machine Changes Summary
- Like previous years, the BEST way to get tokens, including the expensive ones, is by playing content in the game. The most commonly run content that player play for tokens is Operations, and Veteran Mode flashpoints, as each boss in an Operation / Flashpoint has a good chance of dropping tokens, including the rare and expensive Emperor’s Token.
- You can now lose on the Emperor’s Grace slot machine (before you would always win a prize or your chip back). Emperor’s Grace and Emperor’s Grace Max Bet no longer will award Chips of any kind.
You can get the Good Karma buff from the purple Kingpin’s Bounty machines, it gives you an improved chance of winning at the Kingpin’s Bounty slots (purple ones) or Emperor’s Grace slots (Hutt one). It lasts ten (10) minutes, or until a Kingpin’s Bounty win, or until an Emperor’s Grace win, death, or departing the area. So you want to watch for it, and if you get it, you likely don’t want to waste it on the Kingpin’s purple slot machines. Note that a “win” may include lesser prizes you don’t want, BUT, it will not disappear if you win a Golden Certificate!
You can get the Feeling Lucky buff from the green Smuggler’s Luck machines, it gives you an improved chance of winning at the Kingpin’s Bounty slots (purple ones) or Emperor’s Grace slots (Hutt one). It lasts two (only 2! hurry!) minutes, or until a Kingpin’s Bounty win, or until an Emperor’s Grace win, death, or departing the area. So you want to watch for it, and if you get it, you likely don’t want to waste it on the Kingpin’s purple slot machines. Note that a “win” may include lesser prizes you don’t want, BUT, it will not disappear if you win a Golden Certificate!
/
Lucky and Good Karma will increase your odds of winning on Kingpin’s Bounty (purple machine). Good Karma will increase your odds even further than Lucky.
+
Lucky and Good Karma can stack on Emperor’s Grace Slot Machines to increase the chance of winning all the way to 100%. So if you get both buffs, then you can spin the Emperor’s Grace without losing until you win a prize better than a Golden Certificate, and you’ll likely win a bunch of Golden Certificates as you spin with both buffs until then!- The super-expensive hidden Max Bet Emperor’s Grace Slot Machine cannot lose. Max Bet instead increases the chance of a Jackpot win (any non-certificate drop) with the buffs.
- If you do not have a lot of money or a lot of Emperor’s Grace tokens, you can get the best chance of winning something by first playing the Kingpin’s Bounty machines until you eventually get the Good Karma Buff (lasts ten minutes), then play the green Smuggler’s Luck machines until you hopefully get the Feeling Lucky buff (lasts 2 minutes) so you have both, then go quickly use your Emperor’s Grace tokens for a 100% chance of winning something.
