:Simply playing the game and then reaching all the places from 10 to 1 also results in receiving a unique message from CDP Arcades (which then later is remembered as a contact on V's phone), however there's no actual reward for the places 6-10. Reaching a higher place won't result in getting old messages retroactively.

==Notes==
*A Roach Race arcade can be found in three of the four purchasable apartments.
*Despite the animation showing a coin being tossed, playing the minigame is free.
==Trivia==
* The scene in the main menu is inspired by the Gwent card Roach, where Roach appears on the roof of a house after Geralt whistled, with Geralt scratching his head. This in turn was inspired by a bug in The Witcher 3 where Roach would appear on top of a roof after calling him.
*The Japanese words displayed when Roach gets a carrot are "にんじんゲット！" (Romaji: ninjin getto). "にんじん" (Kanji: 人参, common form: ニンジン) means "carrot". "ゲット" is a borrowed word from "get".
