Idiot... he's drawing too much attention.
"Uh, I think I'll see what the poker action is like tonight."
I back off from roulette and find a group at the Sandgem Hold'em tables.

Ginji of Thunder generated a random number between
1 and 37 ...
35!

"Maybe one more..." Ginji debated as he tried to choose a number. "All in on...35!"

Three men in black suits approach Ginji. Two of them are rather large. The third, though smaller, has a steely-cold look in his eyes.
"Sir, would you mind coming with us?" The smaller man asks Ginji. He motions across the casino, towards the office area.
Meanwhile, at the poker table, my Selkic instincts are proving invaluable. I'm already up about 4000 coins, much to the chagrin of the other players.
"And the River card is the Jack of Diamonds," the dealer announces.
"Five hundred," I add to the pot. It's a cold bluff, since I only have a pair of sevens.
The last person in the hand tosses in his cards and I win a considerable pot.

"I would very much mind." Ginji replied, giving the three men a cold stare before returning his gaze to the table. He did some quick calculations in his head and concluded that with the extra coins he had, he had enough for 5,000 Porygons. "Actually, I'd like to cash out, would you fine gentlemen help me carry these coins to the Prize Corner?"

The two large men each grab Ginji by the wrist and shoulder.
"We'll help you to the office first, if it's all the same to you."
Meanwhile, my winning streak continues, and some of the other players are starting to get annoyed.
"Fold." This time I toss in my cards. Just as well, someone else landed four Queens with the flop.

Ginji sighed in resignation. "This is about me making something for essentially nothing right?" he asked as they carried him to the office, which was beginning to look suspiciously like the underbelly of the casino.

The two large men seat Ginji roughly into a chair and stand behind him. The smaller man has a seat across the desk.
"We have NEVER seen someone able to accurately call a roulette spin three times in a row. And NO ONE places their entire coin pile after winning. We're interested to know how you did it."

"Would you believe me if I said I could manipulate the flow of energy in a room to make it so I can accurately predict the outcome of any given situation." Ginji stated, pausing briefly. "Except when it comes to stopping Archie... that area is still a mystery to me." he scowled as he looked down towards his feet.

"No," the smaller man responds. One of the larger men steps up and punches Ginji in the side. "Your cooperation will make this considerably easier on all of us."

"Too, bad. It would have made it easier on you." Ginji smirked as he and the chair fall to the ground. As it hits the ground, Ginji disappears and reappears behind the men, holding a giant wad of cash. "Anyways, this should cover your losses, just don't ask where I got it, it was a little sketchy." he winked while heading for the office door. "Now...where did my coins go...?" he trailed off, hopping they'd show up so he could upgrade the Aqua Computer.

Unfortunately, Ginji's coins are nowhere in sight. It seems other security agents confiscated them while the trio were questioning the Aquan. And worse, the same two toughs are coming Ginji's way, this time intent on escorting him outside.
I've managed to clean up nicely at the poker table, squeezing about 20,000 coins from the other players. Now I'm standing outside the Game Corner, waiting for Ginji.

*I walk out of my office*
Me: I feel as if I'm missing something.

"Hmmm..." Ginji sighed as he continued to look around. "Guys, serious, I payed you your losses, all I want is some Porygon for a giant super computer." he tried to explain as he started to sweat, not wanting to hurt the guards.

The guards aren't hearing any of it. They drag Ginji outside and toss him to the pavement.
"Don't come back," one of them warns.
"Wow... They sure don't like you winning too much, do they?" I toss my coin case towards Ginji. "Twenty thou. It'll get you two Porygon at least. Maybe Mr. Backlot will let you find some next time they appear in his garden. Anyway I gotta go. See ya."
I walk down the alley between the Game and Exchange Corners and disappear.

"Thank you Thardie." Ginji smiled as he walked to the Prize Corner and bought two Porygons for the Aqua Super Computer. "I really hope Thar'd Porygon wasn't playing me about hooking them up in series..." he sighed as he headed back to HQ and to bed.
