For the next two hours during the tournament the staff of the Golden Goblin allow people the people to play at whatever they wish. But a couple hours before midnight they start to move people around the room "through the layers of Hell" they call it. Matching chip stacks with like size stacks to give everyone an equal footing.
During those first couple hours Gunther had made a steady incline to his pot size, but then one very bad hand of a game called "Golem" took more than half his winnings away.
Finn was steadily losing chips and not minding it at all, and then got lucky enough to come in second at "Skiffs" and nearly tripled the pot he started with.
Jerrod was out doing them both. Although he had many more downs than ups, his one big payout was enough to bring his pot to another layer in the tournament, but only barely so the succubi stuck him at the table with some of the lower stacks to "help him out a bit".
This new game was called "Bounder" and it seemed like an easy way to win some more silver.
[sblock=Bounder]
NOTE: I will do all the rolling to speed things along.
What You’ll Need: 3d6 for the dealer and 2d20 for each player, plus coins to track bets.
How to Play: Bounder is unique among gambling games in that both the players and dealer use dice. The dealer gets three 6-sided dice, and each player gets two 20-siders. To start, each player bets a stake (minimum 3 sp). Each player rolls his first d20, making his “point.” After all players have rolled their points, each player may double his stake if desired. Then the dealer rolls 3d6. Anyone whose point the dealer matches loses his stake. Then each player rolls his second d20. If the player’s two dice results are on either side of the dealer’s result—one greater than and one less than the dealer’s number—he “bounds” the dealer and wins an amount equal to the amount he bet. Otherwise, he loses his stake. If a player rolls a 1 and a 20 (or a 20 and a 1), he wins double his bet.[/sblock]

As everyone gets settled into the table, placing their opening bet and getting ready to make their first roll they pick up on some odd conversation between the other two players.
"I just don't see how this is making Saul any money, Simon? He couldn't have made more than a few hundred gold marks before the tournament started, and do you see a thousand gamblers in here? It is what you would need to bring the final purse up to ten thousand silver drakes to the winner." A middle aged man in fine clothes is saying to his friend all the while ruffling his chip stack, moping at it while he speaks, probably wishing it was larger.
Simon grunts and you see him lounging comfortably in his chair. "Maybe he is selling some quickwives on the side. Most these men look more interested in getting the Devil's Mark, than winning the Devil's treasure, Milivoj. I know I'd rather be tickling one of them than watching you lose money."
Simon's chip stack is smaller than everyone elses at the table, especially when he puts in his ante.

Gunther does not place a bet.
"You see," Simon says as he looks as his horrible point, and passes on betting. "The Devil has my luck. Or you do Milivoj, good roll."
"What was that?" he asks of Finn and the young magus repeats his statement. The two men turn to look at each other and then burst out in laughter. "Something besides money? Haha! In Riddleport, Den of Thieves and Pirates! Oh surely you jest good sir! And a good one at that."
Milivo had stop laughing after a moment, and looked to be thinking. "Well Saul did fall out with all the other bosses some years back. Lost everything and a hand if the story be true." the man says placing ten silver in front of him.

As the winnings are collected and the new antes for the next round are set out Simon grumbles at his short stack of chips. "Only two more plays and then it's the Devil's Mark for me." he says with a slight grin.
