Mad Mesa Saloon
The saloon has a long bar several feet away from the west wall. Several tables are scattered around the room along with a number of wooden chairs. In one corner a piano player, "Gentleman John" Lee, plays a steady medley of popular tunes on a tinny sounding piano. One table has a roulette wheel.
There are three women who work in the saloon, Ma Blackburn, "Sweet Alice" May and "Texas Rose".
The bar tender is Bob Howard.
The customers are members of the Kane faction as well as several Mad Mesa locals.
Poker Game
Two men and a woman are playing poker. Carl Anderson ($50), Cole Brennan ($150) and Ma Blackburn ($300). There are two seats available for anyone to join the poker game.
Poker Rules
Must have $50 to sit in on the game, maximum of $300. $10 Ante per hand.
You cannot raise. You cannot draw more cards.
If a player does not bet for 3 hands in a row they drop out of the game.
You cannot bring more money to the table than what you start the game with.
Method 1:
Each poker player is dealt 5 cards (Gambling Skill, player gets 6 cards. Dealer can attempt to cheat, gets 7 cards)
After each hand is dealt, each player bets once (no more than at least one other player can match your bet eg. you cannot bet $300 if nobody in the game has $300) or passes.
Method 2:
Each poker player rolls 1d100, if you have the gambling skill you add +5 to your d100 roll
A player with gambling skill can attempt to cheat when they are the dealer, when you cheat you add +20 to your dice roll. Each time a player cheats all other poker players have a percentile chance to catch the cheater in the act.
After rolling 1d100, each player bets as above, highest die roll wins.
