~DA comes in~

Let's play.

~ Z walks in, sits down at the blackjack table, lights a smoke, looks around for a waitress. Not seeing one he turns to DA ~

Hey, hows it going?
Nice place you have here.
I heard something about free drinks.
I hope you don't mind if I smoke.

Of course I don't mind. What do you think the cigarettes and the cigars on the table and bar are for.
Welcome to my Casino.

I am a little short off personell at the moment, but if you need anything just ask.

Actually I'm dieing for a vodka martini.
Oh, and where is the casher so I can get some chips.

Her you go one Vodka-Martini.
~Hands over the glass.~

Since it is the first week we are open you will get free chips for an amount of $ 50,--

~hands over the chips, and takes the place of the croupier.~

Have fun.

~picks up the vodka-martini, sticks finger in it and fishes out the olive and sets it on the napkin~

Thanks.

~raises glass~

Here's to your new place.

~downs the drink in one gulp~

Not bad, how 'bout another?

*TM walks in, sits down*

*picks up cards*

The drinks are just to get me in the mood to win.

Two cards for everyone.
~deals the cards to the players and to himself. Turns one card open, it's an ace.~

Insurance anyone, this will cost you $ 1,-

I'll pass on the insurance.

~leans back to light another cigaret~

*TM with his usual pokerface*...
