BG-J38 shared the torso and leg design with the 8D smelter droid.
He was used to provide entertainment for the Hutt and soon became one of Tatooine's best gamblers. He was unbeaten in almost every game, but never won a match against his master. After Jabba's death at the Great Pit of Carkoon BG-J38 disappeared to unknown parts.
