Heaven’s Luck
An isolated town located on the outskirt mountains of the Land of Lightning. Initially appealing plain, the town has simple, brick architecture, with most of the buildings only having a single level and absolutely no basements. The people of the town wear wool clothes to deal with the bitter cold of the mountains. The streets are unusually paved and plowed despite the constant snow and ice, and the sides of the streets are lined with bright, tall streetlamps. All of the side streets bleed into one major road, like streams which pour into the river. The spaces between the buildings are almost nonexistent and the slanted rooftops all lean into the streets. There’s only one travelers lodge in the town located along the main road, and the local diner on one of the off streets is the only place for people without money to converge. At first impressions, it’s a rather forgettable location. First impressions make it seem like this place is unassuming.
Then you walk down the main street and here comes the Casino…
Heaven’s Luck host one of the largest Casinos in the ninja world; The Heaven’s Luck. It was originally constructed by a nobleman from Kusagakure. Its design was simple, and was just formed to kill free time. Over the past forty years, however, unknown income has made its way into the casino, nearly quadrupling its initial modest state. Now the monstrous building height allows the sheer top of it to be viewed within the Raikage’s office. All sorts of business transactions occur there. Heaven’s Luck is home to all of the latest accessories and gadgets. Not to mention, its private security is among the strongest available to a non-major nation. The guards fight at least a C-ranked rank, able to escort rowdy clients with ease.
Part of the success of Heaven’s Luck comes from, what else, gambling. A ninja can win or lose everything with a single bet. What makes this casino different than any other establishment is that once a client begins to bet, they can only lower their next bet if they spend over a week away from the casino. Or if they lose. This means that if a ninja bets ten ryo in a bet, and if they win, then their next bet has to be at least double of the initial bet. This continues until either the ninja leaves, or if they lose everything. In addition to betting pure ryo, ninjas are allowed to bet anything they own in equal amount of ryo to the amount of ryo that the object would go for in the standard market. Finally, the first bet cannot exceed more than one hundred ryo.
Heaven’s Luck is not a necessarily fair casino, however. As a person bets, the odds of them winning becomes even harder. The following example provides how it works.
First Bet: The user generates a number between 1 and 10. As long as the number is not six, the user wins. In addition, if the user lands on seven, then they get double the money they bet.
Second Bet: The user generates a number between 1 and 10. As long as the number is not below four the user wins. If the user lands on seven, then they get double the money they bet.
Third Bet: The user generates a number between 1 and 10. As long as the number is odd then the user wins. If the user lands on seven, then they get double the money they bet.
Fourth Bet: The user generates a number between 1 and 10. As long as the number is prime then the user wins. If the user lands on seven, then they get double the money they bet. If the user lands on a six, then they owe double the money that they lost.
Fifth Bet: The user generates a number between 1 and 10. If the number is not seven then the user loses. If the user lands on a six, then they owe double the money that they lost.
Each bet after the fifth follows the rules of the fifth bet.
