AT THE CASINO
Jennifer: I’ve just won $100 from this slot machine. I know it’s not the jackpot, but now I have broken even.
Mike: Oh, that’s great! Maybe some of your luck will rub off on me. I’m going to see what the high rollers are doing. Do you want to come with me to check out the blackjack tables or roulette?
Jennifer: I don’t really know much about those games. I don’t get why people bet hundreds of dollars on a single play! Anyway, I will never have that kind of money to gamble with.
Mike: I wish I had somebody rich to bankroll me, too.
Jennifer: I wish I knew how to count cards. Then, I might try my hand at poker.
Mike: Don’t even think about counting cards. If you get caught, you’d get kicked out of the casino in a minute. There’s a poker tournament going on upstairs. If you want we can go and watch that later.
Jennifer: All right. You know what? Why don’t we try our hands at dice? I’m feeling lucky now!
