On the second floor, the elevator doors open to reveal a long row of slot machines. You can't see anyone there, but the machines seem to be producing a cacophony of ringing, chiming, and coin-spitting sounds all on their own. For a moment, you do a double take. Subconsciously, your brain processes the length of the elevator trip, the tall glass ceiling of the previous floor, and the red carpet on this floor, and notices that something is slightly off.

As with the previous floor, you step out of the lift, and wander ahead to look for your opponent. You pass by a variety of tables and machines representing a wide selection of games of chance; there's even a modest-sized stage, with nearby posters advertising a schedule of special events. However, there's certainly no one around to watch or perform right now. As you walk the sounds of chiming and clinking continue to echo through the massive venue.

Eventually, you come to a small, green table at the end of the walkway where a man wearing a pretentious-looking cowboy hat is seated. As you approach, he snaps his fingers, and the sounds of the slot machines come to an abrupt halt. "Sit down," he gestures. "Are you concerned that our match will come down to some banal display of coin-flipping or dice-rolling, based on where we are?" He shakes his head and laughs. "Not more than in a regular game of cards, anyways."

"Look around you, at all of the different tables and machines here. You might see this as a multitude of choices, but in reality, all the choices lead down the same road" - he pauses briefly, as he pulls his deck out from under his hat - "the house always wins."
