Many seasoned gamblers have a common approach at the commencement of a round—they first make themselves familiar with their surroundings. In the event of an emergency, this knowledge enables them to swiftly escape. My concern today, however, does not revolve around cheating but rather the risk of being apprehended.
Thus, my intention in visiting the restroom was similar. I aimed to ascertain the best escape route should the need arise.
Upon exiting the restroom, I ascended the stairs alongside Karen. As we stepped inside, I was greeted by the sight of an expansive gaming hall already bustling with dozens of players.
I took a cursory glance around, noting the luxurious decor. There were only five or six gaming tables present, each having a significantly higher betting limit than the public area below. The lounge area was equally impressive, featuring circular leather sofas and complimentary gourmet snacks and beverages.
