225 · Casino Kid
You are Casino Kid, a nameless youth who has 500$ in his pocket and is ready to face the best poker and blackjack players in the casino to increase this amount significantly. You move around a large casino room and talk to people. Some people will just chat with you, while others will challenge you to a game: either blackjack or poker. In the beginning, most people won't agree to play with you. You'll have to defeat the opponents in a particular order in order to be able to win all blackjack and poker games and to face the Final Opponent.
