"With your brother you were busy" 

 Ronan pushed by him down to the casino floor. 

The staff seemed to be all walking out the front door. 

"Where's everyone going?" 

Ronan shouted down to them.

None answered just went outside. 

 "They fear these men," Jujube replied. They say they are sprites with dark powers. Until these men have gone, to this town they won't return."

"They not cheaters." 

"They have to be cheating if they won every bet!"

 "They win because they are dark spirits, to us they are death. Death never loses."

"Ten times." 

 "They won ten times?"

"If death plays our roulette wheel. Even it has to lose."

"Seven dollars and two bits." 

"Seven Dollars!" Ronan spits

"And two bits," Jujube claimed. 

"They only play five cents a game." 

"This doesn't make sense why would they cheat for seven dollars!" 

"Dark Powers" 

"Dark Powers don't look like middle-aged businessmen? Go get our staff back again. I'll be with Rue. Get me if these dark powers once more join us. Next time we won't be taken unawares!" 

Ronan went off up the stairs. 

"Dark powers always look like middle-aged businessmen

Jujube despite his better judgment went outside
