Abandoned Casino Building

The Abandoned Casino Building was an abandoned site that was planned to be a casino. The building was abandoned early into the construction. The site served as the location for Manfred Schilling’s Progress Rally 2021, a spawn point for the Overlord Virus, the Final Battle between the Overlord and Minedonia; and a temporary battlefield during the Ultimate Battle. The Abandoned Casino Building was blown up on October 3rd, 2022, to make room for a new high school building.

## **Casino Project**

Zane Foulkes wanted to construct a casino similar to one from GTA. It was planned to be his occupation once it was built. Construction of the building took nearly a day to complete with the primary block choice being white concrete. The building featured a roof-top patio, and a heli-pad. The only interior decorative item was a desk.

A few days later, as progress stalled, Zane Foulkes decided to abandon further construction of the casino. The site quickly fell abandoned with people breaking in and graffitiing the walls, floor, and ceiling. A short while later, the wooden roof-top patio was burned completely to the ground. It is unclear who or what caused the fire.

## **Progress Rally 2021**

Manfred Schilling, a mayoral candidate at the time, decided to host his political rally called “Progress Rally 2021” at the building in an attempt to show people the dire situation of the site. The rally was planned to be a yearly event. Preparations were made for the rally to look appealing. Signs were attached to the roof of the casino, blue glass was installed, and the inside contained blue carpet, seats, a podium, and two large banners.

Progress Rally 2021 ended up being a failure for Manfred Schilling as many of his political opponents went to the rally and tried to throw him off the stage. After the rally, many of the decorations were left in the building with the exception of anything bearing Schilling’s name.

## **Overlord Virus and the Final Battle**

The Overlord Virus started inside the building in an area now referred to as “Ground Zero”. Many people believe Manfred Schilling started the virus intentionally, however no public investigation has opened up into the origins of the Overlord Virus. The virus spread throughout the building, severely damaging it, however it never fully spread outside the area. Paragon attempted to investigate the Overlord Virus and had the site under surveillance for several weeks until sudden deaths of their workers forced them to abandon the investigation.

A helicopter controlled by the Overlord Virus later crashed into the side of the building after it was shot down. The remains of the helicopter were at the site until they were moved on September 11th, 2022, for the 2022 Fair of Minedonia. It has since been scrapped after the Fair on January 29th, 2023 to make way for a ride for the 2023 Fair of Minedonia.

The Final Battle between the Overlord, and Minedonia took place at the roof-top of the abandoned casino building. The Overlord had three small dragons, and a massive mech. The Final Battle ultimately ended with the Overlord being destroyed, and the true extent of the damage caused by the virus revealed.

## Techno-Droids

The Techno-Droids began to seize the Abandoned Casino Building on June 21st, 2022. They attempted to begin draining the strange material flooding the building; however, Mitch Foulkes halted the draining.

On July 23rd, the Abandoned Casino Building was temporarily used as a battle site as Manfred Schilling used cannons to fire Overlord Virus at the building, thus destroying it further.

## Today

James Night attempted to bulldoze the building after witnessing Manfred Schilling attempting to resurrect the Overlord Virus, however, it only caused moderate damage to one side of the building. The bulldozer was later removed and scrapped by Manfred Schilling.

On June 19th, 2022, strange material began to fill and flood the Abandoned Casino Building. It acted very similar to the Overlord Virus but wasn't able to be destroyed easily. It would later be destroyed after the Ultimate Battle.

On October 3rd, 2022, the Abandoned Casino Building was blown up by GodOfLegoz and blazenoutlaws in order to make room for a new Minedonia High School building.
