Buying the seat costs a ticket, but you'll need a stake too. Bluff and banter swirl about, and the jade chips never stop moving. You'll be right at home here.

Success

A solid evening of wins

You have learned to recognise the shills and other professionals, and you settle down at a table of hopeful amateurs. They are no match for you, and you goad a half-drunk rake into a reckless bet. [...] [Y]ou have a pleasing pile of winnings.

Rare Success

'All in, you say? If you insist.'

Oh, you're good. You're very good. Ladies swoon and gentlemen gasp as you turn your cards over. Your opponent stomps off sullenly, and the dealer pushes over a pleasing stack of jade chips.


Failure

Down on the night

Is the table crooked? Probably not. There might be some shills working it, though, and the lady who keeps beating you could be a professional. Still, it was a pleasant enough way of passing a few hours, even if you did come out down on the night.
