Brigade Roles / Casino Details
Overview
The casino night will be one flashy night in which the SOS-Brigade is running a bit gambling party. There will be cards (poker, blackjack, possibly other games too), dice games (cee-lo, craps, other games possibly too), as well as slot machines (constructed by Leon), pachinko machines (constructed by Japan), and a big wheel (think wheel of fortune, albeit with less prize capabilities). Haruhi will be running the whole show, and the night will likely open with some fanfare-crazy introduction speech.
bluh bluh bluh naturally, given the Brigade is now down to eleven members counting Haruhi they will be under-staffed. Someone outside the Brigade will need to run the bar and possibly a proper security detail. Also musicians or singing people and such. So any volunteers for that would be great.
• kingofwaste: Kidnapped, so he can't be counted on (if he's okay by then he'll be a major-domo type role)
• poppetry: Injured, so she didn't get a specific role assigned (if she's okay by then she'll be running other menial tasks)
For the tables, the dealers will be these guys, though they might be running different ones are various points in the night. All will be given some nice suits (even the girls) and will have been pre-taught the rules of the games. How much the internalized all this is up to the players of these characters and really you don't need to feel too obligated to stick to these roles through everything when a log for this goes up.
• breaks_destiny: Running the tables
• onebluebamf: Running the tables
• book_of_chaos: Running the tables
• notakor: Running the tables
• mamiries: Running the tables
(NOTE: this means that the tables are woefully under-staffed; the low numbers the Brigade has now got in the way.)
The big wheel itself will be a big spin to win. There will be a lot of "lose" slots, one "bankrupt" slot, and then a number of multipliers. The initial bet will either be multiplied, added to, or lot depending on where you land it. Losses will be collected in a jackpot - there will also be a jackpot slot. The bankrupt slot is Haruhi's vindictiveness at play, where people lose all the tokens/chips they have on hand. In addition to the chips, they can be exchanged for tokens and pachinko balls and vice-versa.
• dontgetcuter: Running the big wheel/watching the slots
At the end of the night (or whenever people want to cash out)they can exchange tokens/chips for prizes of various sorts. This can range from favors, to nick-nacks, to jams Anne has made (and Haruhi's jacked) to... other stuff. I need to think of better prizes before the day of. Aside from this, it's possible I'll work in a date auction for the night of via debters.
• slatebreaker: Running the prize exchange/managing token exchange
• kenpo_kitty: Bar assistance/security detail/whatever else needs doing
But Zero, how will currency work?
Chips and tokens. Tokens to play the slots and pachinko, chips for the dice and card games. Haruhi's main role all night will be running a "bank" by the stage floor in the casino where people will be directed at the start of the night. Patrons will be able to take "loans" at any point during the night. There's a baseline loan one can take out that the casino will accept the loss of, but everything after that the patron will be required to pay back before getting to prizes. As a "mercy," there will no interest on these loans (which she does consider to be a kindness even though its one night).
...Obviously there might be some more questions to be had and things to figure out, feel free to ask or discuss.
