Saloon



Saloons are a type of bar that are found through the American west during the time period of Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption.

Saloons are places offering luxurious comforts and catering to frontiersman by providing alcohol and gambling. Prostitutes are also found here, but you cannot hire a prostitute in Red Dead Redemption nor Revolver. Saloons were popular social institutions and facilitated many major roles for small frontier communities, often doubling as community centers.

In Red Dead Redemption, players can purchase drinks, gamble on card games like Poker, Blackjack, and other games like Five Finger Fillet and Liar's Dice.

It is possible for the player to get in a bar fight after bumping into an NPC, or when caught cheating at poker.

If Marston's honor/fame is high or low enough, drinks will, from then on, be free of charge.

In Multiplayer, it is fairly easy to get the 6 titles Bandito, Renegade, Enemy of the State, Running Man, Fleeing Felon, and Maniac Militia Member by covering behind the bar and shooting the officers that come in. Also, to make this task even easier is to have somebody else go upstairs and shoot down at the officers, therefore giving both of you a chance to get them and making it easier for both of you.
