Déjà Vu 2 carries on from the earlier game, Déjà Vu, also from ICOM Simulations. Once again you place as Ace Harding, a retired boxer now working as a private eye. At the beginning of the game you are kidnapped and you wake up in Las Vegas. You are suspected of stealing money from a major mob boss and need to solve the crime to clear your name once again.

Lucky Dice

Take the pants and trenchcoat, and wear them both. Open both and examine your items. Open the door and leave the bathroom. After the goon leaves, pick up the cigar ring from the ground, and take the train schedule from on top of the drawers. Leave the room to find a corridor, then open the doors to the casino and go through. Head left to the cashier and give her the 10 dollars in your wallet, in exchange for 2 chips. Head left into the casino itself and examine each of the blackjack dealers until you recognise one. Show Rudy the crumpled newspaper clipping and he will help you out. To play, put your chips on the table, then just say either "Hit" or "Stay" to Rudy. Keep taking chips as you go, because once Rudy is forced to leave, you don't have enough time to grab them all at once. Return to the cashier and cash in your chips for money (you should be able to get $50). Leave the casino and head right to the train station.

Train Station

Go right and look at the schedule on the wall. Find the train to Chicago and get on. Give the conductor $20, then wait and you will end up in Chicago.

Turn on your flashlight, then go through the door to the bar, then through the left door to the cellar. Pull the single bottle of wine with no dust, then go through the passage and through the left door into a hidden casino. Use your weird key on the right slot machine.
