Casino guards, as the name implies, are NPCs generated only in the Casino level of the Caverns of Chaos. A number of non-hostile guards are initially found in the casino; though if the PC attempts to rob the shop or attacks either the shopkeeper or a guard, not only will such guards become hostile but several more hostile casino guards will be summoned.
Casino guards are quite strong and can paralyze the PC on damaging hits; however, the PC should usually be prepared for monsters of their level at the stage that they're likely to encounter them. Still, though, they can be dangerous if the PC is surrounded by guards — particularly if the Big Casino Guard or shopkeeper joins the fight while the PC is paralyzed.
