My name is Pot. Jack Pot. I'm a loser. Despite the queer name I had never had a crush on gambling. Neither casino gambling nor online gambling. Was rather a vagabond and would stroll through the downtown each night. That evening I was walking through the busy streets casual and easy-minded when I caught a glimpse of a huge neon light. ‘Golden Palace Casino - Largest Casino in the City’, proudly shone the towering letters. Something made me come in.
Inside a huge, bald-headed and smartly dressed man let me through a metal detector gate and so I was inside the kingdom of revolving roulette, rustling black jack cards, pattering dice, and focused faces of grunting men gathered all around large oval tables.
Rummaging through my pockets I found a dozen of quid or so. ‘Well, not much to be lost, so why not take a chance?’ With such a name I should be lucky enough. I took a chance on roulette. Being for the first time in a casino you should have a class ;)
Three rounds later I was walking out the gate, skint. Could you think of anything else when walking into a casino? Well, I’m a loser, ain’t I?
