Theme Poker Room Intros - Which is your favorite?
To trigger these, you need to deploy a set during the first hand of a new tournament, preferably when it is your turn.
The first time you do it, you are introduced to the House Rule that explains why The Inventory changes, but the second time, you get setting specific introductions.
So far, my favorite is the Aperture room's intro, especially since GlaDOS points out that the player has no idea what they've done now that she has access to bring turrets and portals into play.
Second would have to go to the Boarderlands room, but only because of Brock's line of how it looks like "a strip club with explosives.":D

-Victory sequence (laughed my ass off when Brock reluctantly went "Go Team Venture")
-Cinematic for when the first player is eliminated
But it doesn't always trigger on the first player, for some reason.
It actually triggers based on how well the player plays their hand, which I'm still trying to figure out what determines it. I'm guessing it involves a big pot, because in the Boarderlands room I keep triggering Steve whenever Ash goes All In and loses.
Speaking of which, I love what happens when Steve comes out for Sam's elmination.
(yes I'm joking)
I'm really torn between Borderlands and Portal for favourite room layout.
But I guess nothing beats the takeout in the Evil dead rooms even if I got Ash 3 times in 3 games.
I just got that as well! It is indeed awesome. I'm going to stick around in that room until I see how the other three exit, similar to what I did with Dr. Venture's teleporter just to see where everyone ended up.:D
All of the ones I did had dialogue when I deployed them the first time. After that, they do camera pans.
I agree that it's probably either a big pot or just an All In in general. It always seems to happen whenever they decide to go big or go home.
While I was recording my last game with the Borderlands theme I totally got Sam's elimination cinematic
Hmm... I guess since I deployed the other themes for the first time between tournaments they're never going to trigger for me. Which is kind of lame.
What happens in them?
The First Time PERIOD: Everyone questions what the hell is going on, and Reggie explains that there's a rule established by the owner that they will decorate The Inventory when the player deploys a matching set of table unlockables.
Boarderlands: Everyone is kind of confused as to what's going on, Moxxxi stands up and does her sexy pose, and Claptrap introduces the rest of the cast to the world of Pandora. (Which, according to Reggie, they are contractually obligated to reproduce when you unlock this table set.)
Sam & Max 25th Anniversary: Reggie explains that the Inventory has been redecorated to help celebrate Sam & Max's 25 years of service as Freelance Police. (Kind of boring, honestly, but there's is the implication that there may be a villain hiding to help eliminate players. Spoiler:
Venture Bros.: Brock starts freaking out, and Reggie again explains why they decorated the room to look like Venture Industries. Brock states he's freaking out because The Inventory has some of Doc Venture's more faulty experiments, to which Reggie just replies that they bought them from Rusty/Doc in order to achieve the highest level of simulacra.
Army of Darkness: Lots of fancy camera flying movements ends with Reggie explaining in a very over-dramatic tone that the Inventory has been changed to recreate the 14th Century setting of the Army of Darkness comic, complete with an open invitation to the Deadites. Ash is not at all pleased by this.
Portal: "Hey! I'm suddenly clean!" (Claptrap) GlaDOS warns the player that by unlocking the Portal Table Set, The Inventory has given her access to use Aperture Science equipment for the tournament. Her confidence in the intelligence of The Player lowers because clearly you didn't realize how dangerous this set actually was, or you wouldn't have deployed it.
portal theme needs better music...
working on venture and s & m now
