Okay, redking. Joy Ann had totally gotten someone to explain this game to her, and she was totally going to be able to play it. Her first foray into gambling with the slot machines had gone okay, but she was still having a bit of trouble keeping the rules of this game straight. She had to get to 20 points, right? Or as close as she could without going over.

She placed some of her casino coins down on the table as her bet and waited for the dealer to hand her cards. Only two? Not five? Hmm, maybe this was going to be trickier than she thought.

Hmmm, a queen and a five. Joy Ann bit her lip, trying to figure out if that was good or bad. That was 15 points, right? That was a bit off from 20. Joy Ann considered her options, not sure if she should ask for another card or not. She looked up at the dealer, sure that her pathetic lack of understanding was clear on her face. "Um... Another card please?" Maybe the dealer would be kind enough to teach her as she went along?

Ooh, that was a jack, which meant she now had 25 points? Oh... That was over 20, wasn't it? Joy Ann's face fell as the dealer took her bet. She sighed, thinking that this was why she didn't gamble. She was really no good at it, was she?

Ah well, what was the harm in playing another hand? Maybe this time she'd get it! The alternative seemed to be sitting there feeling sorry for herself, and that definitely wasn't going to earn her any coins.

Okay, a six and a four... That made ten, which was still half the way to twenty. Joy Ann double-checked her math on her fingers, feeling way too tired to be doing this. There was too much pressure, but she was pretty sure she needed another card to win this game. Okay. One more card.

She motioned to the dealer, hoping she wasn't making a mistake. She was doing the right thing, right?

A Queen! That was ten points, and a redking! ...Or something. Joy Ann beamed at the dealer, pleased that she had gathered the twenty points she was supposed to have, and super-pleased that she got coins from it. Ten coins! Wow! That was as much as the last time she played the slots.

Eh, what the heck, she'd play one more round. She placed a few more coins on the table, and waited to peek at what her cards were. Oh please just let these ones be good.

Eight and four... Again, Joy Ann counted on her fingers and came up with twelve. Okay, that was close to twenty, but not really. Hmm. "Another card please?" This obviously was not her game yet, but maybe she was sort of learning? She was going to have to find someone she knew after this to get them to explain all the other games to her.

And a ten made twenty-two... Joy Ann sighed as the dealer took her five coins again. Yeah, she definitely had to go find a different game. This was obviously not going to get her anywhere.

Joy Ann stood up and went off into the crowd to try to find someone, anyone that she knew. If she couldn't find them, she'd be happy because that meant they had escaped. If she could, well... At least they'd have company for a little while.
