[It hadn't been easy, but Lloyd was finally satisfied with the repairs that he'd done to the sink. The "dish drying rack" was another story, but one that Lloyd didn't see as anywhere near as vital. He and Angelo had running water in the sink again, which meant they could do the dishes. That meant they could eat in their own home again. Not something they necessarily did all that often, but it was still nice to have the option.

Swiping a hand across his forehead, Lloyd stands up and stretches.]

Hey, Angelo! I'm done with the sink!

Doesn't it? I can taste various types of fruit juices in it and that makes it taste a bit sweeter than having straight Gin.

[But oh yeah, back to the subject at hand.]

Ah yes, the slot machines. It's quite simple, my friend. [He sits down in the chair in front of the machine then points to the lever on the side.] You see this lever? You pull it after you've inserted how many starfish tokens you wish to bet into the machine and once the display starts spinning, it's all about luck from there. [He then points to the various displays of objects above the spinner which show either fruit, coins, whatever, they also have a multiplier with "x 500" for example.] Those objects with the numbers next to them means you'll get how many tokens back times that number you bet.

[Moving along, he then points to the numbers on the sides that are lines up next to the display of the slot machines.] Depending on your luck, the machine will light up when the displayed objects match up with those numbers and it helps you win, but if there's none, you lose. [He then turns back to Lloyd.] Do you understand things a little better now?

[So gin doesn't taste that sweet. Lloyd makes a note to himself that he'll want to try it carefully if he's ever offered any straight gin. Some drinks are okay even if they're not sweet, like coffee, but others definitely need some sugar, like lemonade.

Letting his attention focus on Angelo's explanation, he absentmindedly continues to drink occasionally from his glass.]

So I put the starfish tokens in, then I pull the lever. Then I just wait for it to tell me if I won? That sounds easy enough.

[He frowns. Maybe a little too easy.]

Is it really all that fun? It doesn't sound like you do all that much.

[beauchevalier]

[He could see Lloyd was a bit disinterested in the slots, so he tells him about poker.]

The slot machines aren't as fun as the poker tables, now those are fun. The excitement of sitting around a table with other gentlemen, betting your gold as the stakes get higher and higher, then waiting for the opportunity to take everything with your winning hand.

End~

[redcladidealist]

That does sound more fun. What are the rules? Can we watch someone playing?

[He moves away from the slot machine, taking another drink. The burn as it goes down is a little bit easier to deal with now that he knows what to expect. He might just get another one of these drinks when he finishes this one off.

For now, though... It's time for a night of fun!]

[beauchevalier]

It would be easier for you to watch me play a few rounds at a table before jumping into the game yourself, Lloyd. So let's be on our way.

[And so he gestures for Lloyd to follow him as they have their night of fun together, it would become a night neither of them would ever forget.]
