The crew of Deep Space 9 staged a heist to steal the casino back from the mob, and the lounge subsequently returned to its normal state. The program could not be reset until the jack-in-the-box scenario was played out, and the situation could only be resolved in a period-specific manner according to the internal rules of the program. Later that year, the lounge was taken over by mob gangsters – a scenario implanted into the holoprogram by Felix as a ' jack-in-the-box' surprise to make it more interesting. He insisted that Vic perform Jadzia's favorite song, ' All the Way', and subsequently wrecked the lounge as a way of venting his anger and sorrow over Jadzia not entering Sto-vo-kor when she died.

Worf visited Vic's in 2375 after Jadzia Dax's death. Odo and Kira's first date, a candlelit dinner and dance, took place in the lounge, though the participants had been tricked into attending by Vic (Odo thought he was dating a hologram of Kira, and Kira thought Odo knew she was real). Odo spent time in the lounge in 2374, seeking the advice of Vic Fontaine in order to woo Kira Nerys. The program was popular in the holosuites in Quark's on Deep Space 9.

Featuring Vic Fontaine, the program was written in 2374 by Felix, a good friend of Julian Bashir's. Vic's lounge was the setting for the holographic program Bashir 62 based in a fictional 1961 casino hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The lounge is hijacked by mob gangsters, complete with dancing showgirls
