Enjoying Those Teenage Years [period 5, Tuesday]
When everyone filed into the Danger Shop today, they'd find that it looked like a small casino.
"Hello, children!" Robin said, unusually gleeful. "Today, we're playing some games. Now, I'm sure some of you have actually played these games before -- that's not in question. The question is whether you're any good at them. Because hey, guess what? Gambling isn't about luck, or the odds, or anything like that -- I mean, to a degree, it is, but what it's about, more than anything? Is knowing how the game works and being able to think on your feet."
She passed out a few handouts. "These'll explain that scary math involved with any game of chance like this, so look them over. You're all going to be playing against the house, not each other, though I do encourage you guys to play outside of class and try to clean each other out. Don't tell anyone I said that. And on that note, fake casino, fakeNPC dealers, and that means -- yes, you guessed it: fake money. For today, I want you guys to take a look at craps, blackjack, and Caribbean stud, which is just like five card stud but you play against the dealer. If you want to play something else, by all means, but if I catch any of you guys by the slot machines, I'm branding you losers. That's Grandma's game."
[sorry on the semi-lame class, guys! My power went out and I only just got it back, eep.]
