I love the surprisingly complex improv lore built from this Life session. Dyno is the American mathematician who broke Vegas and then the Stock Market before writing an article about it for the press, because in this timeline he's also an investigative journalist. Currently, he's hot on the trail of an alleged communist CIA mole, "Lee Teddy Oswald" who has been making a lot of money from very questionable sources. Famous paintings, stock market shares, all highly untraceable sources of income, and his response to Dyno's exposé piece? *_"I am a businessman doing business"._* Truly one of the life moments of all time.

[@richodude5455]

7:42 fun fact, the first card counting system wasn't published until 1962, and the Hi-Lo system didn't come out until 1963, meaning the imaginary character would've had to win some other way since the game was published in 1960. Regular slots didn't pay anywhere close to $50k and the first ever wide area progressive slot (one linked with similar slots across the country with jackpots over $1 million) didn't come out until 1986. Table games did not offer high enough payouts, since you would likely play more than 1 hand of blackjack or 1 spin of roulette on a Vegas trip. That means our imaginary character most likely was playing live keno for $2 and managed to match 9 of 9 numbers on his card paying exactly $50,000. Odds are about 1.4 million to 1

Not sure if its on the workshop but theres a game called midlife crisis that we played once in a PSHE class in school nearly a decade ago and its not torturous but the tiles you can land on are absolutely insane and you should definitely look into it
