The pure golden casino, home to the great unknown magic of gambling and booze. step right in, but your money will magically step right out of your pocket and into the machines. If your stay is too long. Have a nice chat with the debt dealer, Your one-way route between survival and hell. One game can feel like ages, yet the time will only be a few short minutes and onto the next dweller.

These are some of the many rumors people will say about the place, but the darkest ones are about who the debt dealer is. What the losers would say is that it is not a gentleman, but she is a beautiful woman with blond hair, others would say she had blue hair, while the blind would just say she had a beautiful and determined voice that entered you into the game. That is if there were any known losers. To others, she's just a cog in someone else's machine.

Being a cog, or even a pawn in the machine, is what everything in the hotel is. From the clocks to The cards, and even The tiniest specks of gold, nobody even knows whether they are treated like kings or not. Is her game a trick, or is it an experience to never forget?

The drunkard walked into the room, "W-W-Where am-m I," replied the man with a stutter?

cardboard rectangles flew across the room as they moved, they sent a bright light shining on the path to a table.

"Welcome to the debt table." replied a determined voice, "Rodger Dummergon have debts past $10,000 and must play me."

Rodger smiled with a stoop and said, "Oh, I'll pl-play with you. In bed my pret-ty."

"You will be playing Black Jack," explained the dealer, "BlackJack is a game "

Rodger staggers to his seat to play. when he sits down, the golden chair clasps his legs

"Try not to get above twenty-one for two out of three games"

"S-S-Sure! Hic!"

"Then let the game begin," announced the dealer

Rodger's first card is a five, The dealer's card is a 10

"What will you do Rodger"

"Hit-Hit me," said Rodger with a slurr.

The next card was a 7

"Hit me!"

The next card was a 6

"stop"

The dealer drew her cards and got 16 altogether before passing

"Congratulations Rodger, you have defeated me in the first round," replied the dealer, "Before the next deal, I should tell you my name should an idiot like you succeed."

Her hair then changed to a blue color as she says, "Let the real game begin."

Rodger was in shock and awe, "They were right, the girls to get prettier around closing time. Y'see I am not really drunk. I just played my cards right sober. now, let's get this party started for the greatest game of the casino, the debtor game!"

Rodger asks as his cards are being dealt to him, "Before we start, a-and the cat's out of the bag, aren't cards supposed to be a gentleman's game?"

"Yes they are Rodger"

"Are you a cross-dresser?"

"No. I advise you to please not insult the dealer."

"Sure sure. I love when my life is on the line. Now hit me!"

Violet calls out blackjack the next round,

The round after that, Rodger asks that the clocks be stopped.

Rodger says, "I think what will tick you off the most is that I hate the sounds of off-key clocks in rooms"

she stops on 20 when Rodger only has 18

Rodger smiles and asks, "Before I go, what exactly is Hell like"

"A trip to slavery."

"That sounds interesting, too bad I'm going to kill you first."

"And how will you do that?"

"I noticed your hair changed, and that you are a woman at a Gentleman's table. My luck ran out when that happened."

"Are you implying that I cheated?"

"I would, but this ungentlemanlike conduct has no proof when it is a woman hiding everything at the table," Sighed Rodger, "But by connecting a fine line between my toes and using my magic, I can strangle you at any time."

The string around violet was created the whole game. 

"Godspeed Rodger."

"Godspeed to you too Violet," Rodger sighed, "may the best player win"

A large card portal fell on top of the chair, engulfing it into a void. Violet turns his hands Sierra ðþvsideways cutting the portal and any string connections. Violet wins

"Cough! Cough!" replied the remaining player. Violet sat in her chair gasping for air as the green string that was spinning around her neck was losing his color. This stopping the restraint

"That was the closest game I've ever played. I should be more careful in the future in order to save them."

The Pure Golden Casino has taken another player into slavery. The debt game opens again for the next victim.

Who will play next? Will it be you? Just know never to let anyone hear about my rumor. Or else..!
