Hand: 4+1 = 5
Coin: 90
Action: HIT THE DECK



She warily approached the Blackjack table. She'd loved to play blackjack before, but the stakes had never been this high before. Money, she could say goodbye to. Her own head? Not her sort of thing.

The dealer distributed the first two cards. 4 and 1.

"Hit me." She said, her voice dry.

Hand: 4 + 1 + 3 =8
Coin: 90
Action: HIT THE DECK

The dealer gave her another card. 3.

This one was an easy decision to make. Pointing towards the deck, Lola repeated herself to the dealer. "Hit me."

Hand: 4 + 1 + 3 + 7 = 15
Coin: 90
Action: HIT THE DECK


The dealer turned over another card. Seven.

Lola had to stop and think. This was a tough call. She already had eight with the cards before, with the seven she'd just gotten, she now had fifteen. She could bail now and lose one of her precious cards, or she could take a chance. A high card could cost her five entire coins, but a low card could gain her ten.

Talk about risks.

Her tongue snaked out to wet her dry, cracked lips. "Hit me."

Hand: 4 + 1 + 3 + 7 + 5 = 20
Coin: 90+10
Action: Victory!


The card turned over and Lola let out a sigh of relief. Five. She'd been given a five. Her total, now at a beautiful twenty, sealed her win.

The cashier pushed ten Casino Coins her way, which Lola quickly pocketed with her other coins. There was no way she was going to let a single one of those out of her sight.


Earned: 10 coins. Previous total of 90+ 10 winnings = 100 current count.

She was back.

The knot in her stomach tightened. She didn't want to play, but she was starting from scratch and she needed coins more than ever.

Taking her seat behind one of the blackjack tables, she nodded towards the attendant, who merely smiled at her and flipped two cards.

A two an a four.

Another low start to the game, it would seem. She licked her lips, glancing up at the ever-grinning attendant. It was unsettling, how much she grinned.

"Hit me."

The card flipped over. Another four. Goodness gracious.

"Hit me." She said it louder this time, as if willing for a larger number to appear. It had better....or she might be in trouble.

Oh no, not again.

She was stuck with a fifteen. Again. This was like a bad deja vu... surely she couldn't be lucky twice in a row...could she? Would she be willing to forfeit a coin loss of one, if it meant winning ten?

Yet surely lightning couldn't strike twice...she would certainly fail this time...right?

The attendant tapped on the table, as if to signal Lola to hurry up and make a decision. Closing her eyes, she whispered one final, "Hit me."

Hand: 2 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 17
Coin: 10
Action: FOLD
PostPosted: Wed Sep 23, 2015 9:11 pm


Really? A two?

She pulled one of the ten coins from her pocket and handed it to the attendant.

"I fold."


Nine coins left....dare she try again?

She would, indeed. After all, what did she really have to lose...other than her life, of course.

"Again?" The grinning attendant asked.

"Sure, why not."

Nodding her head, the woman flipped two cards over.

Hand: 6 + 9 = 15
Coins: 9

A six and a nine, right off the bat.

Lola winced. This was Fate, mocking her for not leaving when she had the opportunity. Now she would be stuck in an endless downward spire of 15's until her chips ran out. Go ******** figure.

"Hit me." Better to lose now than three cards away, she guessed.

Hand: 6 + 9 +
Coins: 9
Action:


I ******** UP MY ROLL LIKE A t**t USING A 6D INSTEAD OF A 12D BECAUSE IT'S LATE AND I'M STUPID.

She felt crushed. Another seventeen.

"Fold." Lola wasn't going to risk it again. Giving up another coin, she slid off of the tall stool and wandered away from the table, keeping her remaining 8 coins safe in her pocket.

As she left, the attendant smiled.
