> ...遊ばにゃ損なってなもんだろうがおう！

遊ばにゃ (or にや) - can't understand what the verb form is used here...

損なって - "failing", that seems clear

なもん - have no idea how to decipher this one...

だろうがおう！"can do it" or "let's do it" and exclamation おう, depends on the
previous context, as I understand?

question
meaning colloquial-language
遊ばにゃ損なってなもんだろうがおう！
I think the individual parts of it are:

  * 遊{あそ}ばにゃ → 遊{あそ}ばなきゃ → 遊{あそ}ばなければ (see also [遊ぶ](http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?p=%E9%81%8A%E3%81%B6&stype=0&dtype=3))

> unless one plays/unless one has fun/unless one enjoys oneself

  * [損{そん}](http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?enc=UTF-8&p=%E6%90%8D&dtype=3&dname=2na&stype=0&index=02491300&pagenum=1)

> loss/disadvantage

  * っ[てな](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AA/)もん → というようなもの

> (mainly for emphasis, I don't think it changes the meaning much here)

  * [だろう](http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?p=%E3%81%A0%E3%82%8D%E3%81%86&enc=UTF-8&stype=0&dtype=3) (the plain form of the polite でしょう)

> I think

  * が

> though

  * [おう！](http://eow.alc.co.jp/%E3%81%8A%E3%81%86/UTF-8/)

> (an exclamation, sometimes translated as "oh!" or "hey!" etc)

> ...遊ばにゃ損ってなもんだろうがおう！  
>  ...遊ばなければ損というようなものでしょうがおう！  
>  ...It's a loss if you don't enjoy yourself I think though. _Alright_!

I think that translation loses a lot of the feel of the original colloquial
text though.

**EDIT:** For the time being, I've assumed the "な" was a typo. Also hopefully
fixed the exclamation part.
