You see a seedy-looking
Mexican man with slick
hair.
---
You see Hernandez, the
rascally gambler.

Hernandez01
Oye, muchacho, allow me
to introduce myself. I am
Hernandez,
a man of mucho gusto!
You look like you are new
here. Please,
allow me to be your
informant to the casino.

Buenos dias, my friend!
What can I do for you
today?

Buenos dias, my friend!
What can I do for you
today?

Hernandez02
But of course! This fine
establishment is run by
the famous Gizmo. A true
visionary and a very
wealthy
man.
Hernandez01->Hernandez02
Can you tell me about the
casino?
Hernandez03
Perhaps you can spare a
few caps? I guarantee
success.
---
My friend, I hate to
impose, but perhaps you
could assist me.
I have developed a
sure-fire system, because
I have discovered
how Gizmo runs his
tables, but I do not have
the caps to
play.
---
[You get the feeling
that he's trying to scam
you.]
Hernandez01->Hernandez03
No, thanks.
Hernandez04
Sorry, mi amigo. Hey, let
me show you a neat game .
. .
Hernandez01->Hernandez04
Bloo?
Hernandez13
My system is developing
slowly. I have living
expenses
and such, you know, but
it is working!
Hernandez12->Hernandez13
How is your system
coming?
Hernandezend
Hernandez12->Hernandezend
Nothing, thanks.
Hernandez02->Hernandez03
Thanks.
Hernandez09
He gives people a chance
to shrug off their cares
in the
broken world outside.
And he brings money into
Junktown!

Gizmo had a dream of
setting up a place where
people
could meet and enjoy
themselves. He had the
ambition to
make it happen. The
result is the casino you
see here.
Hernandez02->Hernandez09
You say Gizmo is a
visionary. What's his
vision?
Hernandez11
Well, Gizmo runs a pretty
good house, although the
games are,
how shall we say, rather
weighted towards the
house.
It's not like his
dealers cheat, though.
But unless you have
a system, like me, you
will need to be very
clever.
Hernandez02->Hernandez11
What are the odds like on
the games here?
Hernandez05
Thank you very much, mi
amigo! In a few days I
shall be able
to pay you back, with
interest. My system is
slow, you see,
it requires much
patience, but it will
most certainly reap
great profits!
Hernandez03->Hernandez05
Sure, sounds good.
Hernandez06
Very well, but I
guarantee success! If you
want to get in
on the riches just
waiting, come back soon,
or I will find
another partner!
Hernandez03->Hernandez06
No, thanks.
Hernandez14
So, you think you have
tumbled to me, eh? Well,
you won't
get anything from me!
Hernandez03->Hernandez14
I think you're lying.
You're trying to scam me.
Hernandez07
My friend, I see you are
a man of much taste, as
well.
Perhaps a simple game of
dice?
Hernandez09->Hernandez07
Sounds like a good idea.
Hernandez10
You obviously don't share
Gizmo's brilliance. This
place
is a respite from the
harshness of everyday
life.
Hernandez09->Hernandez10
Life's hard enough. I
don't trust the motives
of someone
who would encourage
people to lose their
money.
Hernandez11->Hernandez03
Thanks.
Hernandez07->Hernandez03
No, thanks, I'd rather
try something else.
Hernandez08
Hernandez07->Hernandez08
All right!
Hernandez13->Hernandez14
I think that you are a
liar and a cheat. Where's
my money?
Hernandez13->Hernandezend
That's great!
