Rio Rollins Tachibana



Rio Rollins Tachibana is the most popular dealer in the Howard Resort casino who abides by the motto, "As the customer wishes". Beautiful and well-endowed, she has a mysterious energy that gives good luck to her customers, earning her the reputation as "The Goddess of Victory". She is the daughter of the legendary dealer Risa Rollins and Rio has inherited her dealing skills. She has a pet ferret named Chip and it is revealed that she is afraid of lightning as shown during her stay at Misery's castle. It is revealed during one of her Gate Battles that she is a "Roll Ruler", an individual who can change the outcome of a Gate Battle through the aid of illusions. Rio was given the #7 Gate by a mysterious man, and currently holds six Gates after her Gate Battle with King, though it was later revealed that most of the Gates she won were Rina Goltschmidt Tachibana's. She later gains the #8 Gate from Daana, the #2 Gate from Joker and the #10 Gate from Yang-Yang following her loss to Rina at the Sky Resort. Rio finally beat Rina in the final battle, claiming all 13 Gates and gaining access to the Ultimate Roll Ruler and the title of MVCD which is the title bestowed upon the greatest dealer. Outside of the anime and pachinko games, she also appears as a playable character in Dead or Alive Paradise.
