# Welcome Bonuses

**Welcome Bonuses** are initial bonus resources granted to a player the first time their casino profile is created/loaded.

In practice, this is the starter pack for new casino players, so they can try games immediately (chips, tickets, free spins, etc.) without purchasing.

## Where to configure

Welcome bonuses are configured in:

* `rcore_casino/configs/casino.lua`
* table: `Config.WelcomePack`

```lua
Config.WelcomePack = {
  ["wheeltickets"] = 3,
  ["horsetickets"] = 1,
  ["chips"] = 5000
}
```
