Maigo spent much of his day traveling through Kumogakure, having just arrived late the day before, there was not much time to fully explore the place. The casino seemed like a tourist death-trap, one with lots of light, music to keep the atmosphere, and all roads leading towards more gambling areas. As he entered, he dawned a grey button up shirt and black slacks, and some nice black dress shoes that he had picked up in town. He wanted to look good for tonight, and especially presentable, since most of the nicer places would require some level of dress-code, he wanted to be prepared. As he had his ID checked at the door, the security guard making a big deal out of how he didn't think that he was really 16. He was able to enter, this being a rare opportunity to try his hand at gambling since it was not allowed for someone his age in Kirigakure, but here, it was almost fine for him to do so.
Doing a lap around the casino floor he looked around at the minimums of each table, red and green felt surrounded the cards tables and the roulette wheels and craps tables both called his name. Ready to test out his luck he went and converted the ryo he brought into some chips he then prepared himself. Mentally talking himself down from betting big sticking to conservative bets he found an open blackjack table down the row with a few open seats. A 25 ryo minimum and only one person already there, he eyed it and headed down the path straight to it. People around him hitting the slots machines like crazy, the sounds of arms being pulled and buzzers for winners going off. He made his way through the crowd of mindless people heading from game to game as he walked up to the table. As he approached the table he made his presence known and double-checked that the seat was open, and it was.
Setting his chips down in his space, he would occupy the left most chair at the half circle as he sorted his chips out and laid down a 100 ryo bet for his first hand. Yeah, way to not start out too high on the betting. he thought to himself as he sat there with a smile on his face.
