Selected
éliminer (un adversaire)
Alternative à "tuer", qui est un peu cru à mon gout.
C'est un terme qui a l'avantage d'être plus générique, il peut s'appliquer aussi à des véhicules, des robots, etc.

: too literal - you need more context - in "casino" games you don't chase characters to "kill 'em all" // "to get a kill" could also simply be a winning hand in some card games, or even to "sink a ship" in the minefield game [tuer un navire??]

faites un kill
Je sais que c'est un anglicisme horrible, mais si nous sommes dans un contexte de FPS (jeu vidéo où vous êtes "dans la peau" d'un personnage et le but est de tuer vos adversaires) où de certains autres jeux vidéos, on utilise en français l'expression "faire un kill".

: Certes, mais pourquoi conforter les angliscismes quand il y a des alternatives en français ?

Discussion
The "action games" of the "kill 'em all" variety can hardly be described as "casino games", could they?
The usual "casino games" would be poker, roullette, baccarat, blackjack and other games where you can "make a killing" by fleecing other players or the house.
You need to be more specific - I don't see how winning a round in online poker or roullette could include "tuer" in any shape or form ...
