Best case we win big and attract negative attention from the losers or the casino staff. Worst case we lose everything to a drunk rocket car pilot, smug nobility or the planet's best gambler in his element. We got what we came here for and we stuck it to the hotel staff for being pricks earlier, so it's time to end this on a high note.
