Not that many people even know it exists

Let’s go to the casino

Those emotions are really powerful, though

It became a family joke

You want to be a big shot

The only mistake I made was not quitting

I know how to play

Smart gamblers knew you had to go down to go up

I was in control

Sometimes, the house was empty all day long

She had no idea what to do next

This makes sense

It just sounds right

That makes some people uncomfortable

It felt like everything was out of control

It worked

I am gravely concerned

Don’t overstep your bounds

The usual amount of work gets done

Then, something unexpected happened
