  In this paper, we explain the conceptual development of the STAGE Lab Quantum
Casino (a.k.a. the STAGE Lab Quantum Arcade), one of the Lab's most recent
artistic endeavors about quantum physics. This work consists of a series of
card and digital games and an interactive experience, exposing the public to
quantum physics and minimizing learning barriers. Furthermore, we will also
present a case study of the interactive experience, in the form of The Quantum
Photo Booth.
  The STAGE Lab Quantum Casino provides an entertaining and approachable
experience for people of all ages to become familiar with quantum physics. By
using core concepts of quantum physics as tools and strategies to overcome
challenges that arise in gameplay, players gain an intuitive understanding of
these concepts. These games provide players with a first-hand experience of the
following quantum physics concepts: measurement, superposition, encryption,
decoherence, and entanglement. Instead of teaching the concepts through a
traditional classroom pedagogy, these games aim to invoke curiosity, spark
moments of playfulness, and catalyze play-centric learning modalities. This
paper provides a general overview of the development of the STAGE Lab Quantum
Casino, focusing on The Quantum Photo Booth experience and how science is
integrated into the very nature of the game development process in addition to
its outcome.
