Maltese Falcon

The Maltese Falcon is a bar and flophouse in the Hub Downtown $$

Background
The Maltese Falcon is run by Decker, the head of a criminal organization named the Underground. The business used to be legit but after the former owner refused to sell to Decker, they disappeared. Now the bar is a cover for his operations in the area.

Layout
The two main doors open into the entryway. On the left is the bar where drinks are served, with a number of armchairs next to it. The bar serves:


 * Water (unexportable and drink in the bar) for 2 caps
 * Beer for 5 caps
 * Booze for 10 caps

On the right is the casino area, where anyone can play gambling games. On the bottom right, there are six brothel rooms and two prostitutes, but the Vault Dweller cannot have relationships with them or sleep in the rooms.

On the wall behind the bar on the right, Kane guards a door that leads to the Underground's hideout in the basement. If Decker is dead, the basement is still open, but there is nothing interesting inside.

Gambling
The gambling area is similar to a casino but uses caps as currency.


 * The Maltese Falcon offers roulette and slots.
 * See the Gambling page for more general information on gambling.

Appearances
The Maltese Falcon appears in Fallout and Fallout 2.
