Matthew or Matty to those who know him well enough to not get a Saturday Night Special jabbed in the gut, smiled as his eyes swept over the crowd of spacers and workers in the tight confines of slot machines and tables. His skin prickled with the excitement that teemed in this place, to the point where the condensation from the free fruity drink he had been given, turning into an almost erotic sensation on his finger tips. He could smell of the money in this place and the risks those around him would take to try and get a piece. He smiled wider, as his mind was filled with delight, fear and a number of those thoughts, as the crowd's surface thoughts nearly overwhelmed his mind. A month in spacer, with a pair of people who wouldn't gamble with him, even if he promised to play fair, was far too long of a dry spell.
Chuckling softly, he roamed among them, getting a feel for the dealers and players in the place, focusing on those playing games of skill, rather then games of chance. Those were easier marks, as he could use his special talents for an advantage but were less of a thrill. Finally he settled into the seat of a slot machine, just to waste a few creds and time. Lights flashed as he pulled the handle and he was sucked into a wonderland of chance. Minutes raced by, as he lost a handful of pocket change.
As soon as he got a return (all be it less then a quarter of the amount he had put into the machine), Matthew get up and strolled towards the back. There were three tables there, set aside and kinda hidden. Each one was set up with a robotic dealer and unlike the rest of the tables, nothing went to the house, every cred or whatever else you chose to bet went to the players. Only one of the tables was in use, three of the seats taken up in a basic game of five card stud. These games, were his favorite, as one had saved his life once and you could always find interesting things to win.
Its easy to be brave behind a castle wall
Twelve highlanders and a bagpipe make a rebellion
A king's son is no nobler then the food he eats
