"Well, most people gamble here. You ask stupid questions."

| Darkwater, Killian
|
"[Gizmo grunts.] Killian's the mayor of this town. Thinks he knows everything... well, [Gizmo laughs] we'll just see how much he knows, won't we?"

[edit] Inventory
- If Gizmo is killed, his corpse is left where it is, keeled over on his desk. If the player visits the casino some time later, his corpse appears changed, rotting, with insects flying above it. Should the player return a long while later, Gizmo's corpse will no longer be present.
- Gizmo is much larger than most non-player characters in Fallout.
- He never walks, he attacks from his table, making him a bit easier target.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- In early designs, the results of dealing with Gizmo and Killian were intended to be less black and white: in the cut endings, a victorious Gizmo would turn Junktown into a flourishing trading center, albeit for entirely self-serving reasons, whereas a victorious Killian would gradually become a well-intentioned tyrant, grinding the town slowly into the dust. However, this original intention never made the final cut.
- Gizmo's name comes from Tim Cain's childhood pet skunk.
[edit] Appearances
Gizmo appears only in Fallout. He is a talking head voiced by Jim Cummings.

"Hmm . . . all right. We can do this. But you work for me, you better know that nobody ever double-crosses Gizmo and lives to talk about it. You got me?"
"Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah! Izo's got your money. Oh, this is good! Hey, hey, uh . . . you should leave town for a while. You know, just in case."
"I don't know who you are, but I don't take kindly to strangers walking into my office and accusing me of things they know nothing about."
