Hand: 13
Coins: 64
Action: HIT THE DECK

Cards had never really been Nate’s thing, but he had heard others who had done somewhat well talking as they meandered around the casino. Though part of him wanted to play it safe and refrain from losing any of the coins he currently had, he knew there would be no way of winning if he didn’t try.

He began to fumble with the coins in his pocket as he approached the table but let them drop as he sat and splayed his hands, palm down on the felted surface. As the cards were being dealt he felt his pulse beginning to rise. He would never gamble again if he got out of here alive.

Taking a peek at his hand he steadied his breathing and prepared to do battle with the dealer. “Hit me..”

Hand: 13 + 8 = 21
Coins: 64 + 10 = 74
Action: VICTORY!

He was amazed when the card that was given to him added up perfectly in his hand. He had actually hit 21 on his first try? If all of this had happened under different circumstances, say a vacation to a sparkling city with drinks that didn’t end up with you drugged and tied up…er…well..anyway.

Victory was short-lived however as the ten coins were given to him, of course he was glad to have made more but it was a dark reminder of what was to come. Fiddling with the collar around his neck he debated giving it another go, and before he could talk himself out of walking away he was preparing to receive another hand.

Hand: 15
Coins: 74
Action: HIT THE DECK

15 to start with this time, if he were better at gambling he may have decided to fold and just take the one coin loss. Unfortunately he was not all that great at it, or at least the strategy and ability to walk away part. With only a moment’s hesitation he encouraged the dealer to give him another card. He certainly was taken chances with his life at this moment…

Hand: 15
Coins: 74 - 5 = 69
Action: BUST

The dealer’ smirk would be added to the number of things that haunted his memories as he watched five of his coins being taken away, five coins that could have helped save his life or the life of another. The part about helping someone else hadn’t escaped his notice when the rules were being recited. Even though he really wanted to be able to save everyone, he wasn’t even sure if he would be able to save himself at this point.

“Another…” He demanded with uncertainty.

Hand: 7
Coins: 69
Action: HIT THE DECK

At least this go around he was starting with a low number, but that didn’t necessarily mean it was a good thing. There was still a lot of chance when it came to this card game and he was beginning to lose his nerve a little. He had always thought that he would be busting sharks and bookies, but here he was gambling like a fool. “Hit me.”

Hand: 14
Coins: 69
Action: HIT THE DECK

He wanted to get up and walk away, to take the one coin loss like a champ, but he just couldn’t. There was still a possibility of him getting what he needed and ending up with another 10 coin win. His hand went to his head as he ran his fingers nervously through his hair. “Hit me.”

Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2015 1:16 pm

Hand: 23
Coins: 69-5= 64
Action: BUST

Of course, his carelessness had ended in another loss for him. It was unfortunate that he was walking out with the exact number of coins he had walked in with, but at least it wasn't less...or so he kept telling himself.

Hand: 12
Coins: 60
Action: Hit the deck

"Hey, mind if I join you." Harper sat down not waiting for the man to tell her yes or no before she joined him at his table. Blackjack, it sounded like a fun name but it wasn't a game she was particular aware of. She laid down her coins, her gut groaning as it was hard to part with five coins, she didn’t have a lot to start with and losing five from the get go was rather nerve racking to her. The only problem was if she didn’t at least try she wouldn’t earn anything and be just as screwed.

Hand: 17
Coins: 74-1=73
Action: GIVE UP

He was just preparing to leave when an unusual girl decided to sit beside him. Though he contemplated walking away still he felt it would be quite rude for him to simply leave after she had already addressed him. After all, what could one more hand hurt? He could tell she was just as nervous as he was, maybe it would make for good company? He only hoped he didn’t lose.

“Having a good night?” He asked with a small grin. Yet another attempt at a normal conversation in a completely abnormal situation. Both of them were attempting to get enough coin to buy their lives, there was nothing good about that.

Hand: 20
Coins: 60 + 10 = 70
Action: Win

Harper squinted her eyes as she told the dealer hit, her eyes pinned on her until she flipped the card. Number eight, twenty, she let out a long sigh of relief as the dealer handed her ten extra coins along with her five. It was a start, she thought as she looked over and gave a faint smile to the other player.

“I hope your doing well at this game. Name is Harper.” She stuck out a hand offering a shake to him.

“Hell no.” Harper said flatly shaking her head furiously; the entire casino was at the moment the status of a prison of sorts. Actually it reminded her very much of a song from the Eagles she used to listen to, the one where the line was you could check out but you could never leave. The dealer handed two more cards, they were low enough that Harper went ahead and called for a hit. Hopefully the extra card wouldn’t bump her too high that she lost five coins.

Hand: 11
Coins: 70

Hand: 15
Coins: 70 - 1 = 69
Action: Give Up

Her next card didn’t really help her at all, instead it just added a few more numbers but if she asked for another hit it was likely to bump her automatically over. She sighed, “I’m out.” One coin was far better than losing five.

Taking her hand he shrugged, telling the Dealer that he would give up this time around. 17 was far too close for him to gamble on. "I am doing...well..Not all that great actually." He chuckled nervously. "But congratulations on your win!"

“Thanks, to tell you the truth this game is a lot easier than I thought it would be. I was expecting it to be a lot harder and more trying than this.” She had the dealer give her two more cards, this time they were high enough she didn’t need an extra. Her small pile grew giving her a little bit of hope that maybe she could buy herself out and even more so get the hell out of the place. As long as they really kept their promise on that they could leave and wouldn’t be trapped by some other excuse.
