Black Jack in Monaco

I had no idea my money would run out so quickly. But I'm a big spender and after a week in Monaco enjoying the nightlife I had virtually no cash remaining. I felt confident though that I could make some fast money with my lucky game of black jack. Black jack has always been something of a family tradition. Knowing I could call on a few old tricks encouraged me to find a spot at the black jack table where I laid down my last $200. Now it was crunch time. Would my black jack luck shine forth once more?

Mabel's Black Jack

The black jack dealer gave me an appraising look as he dealt the cards. I smiled back sweetly. Most people don't expect a little old lady to know too much about black jack. But I was playing black jack before this dealer was born!

As I strolled out of the casino an hour later with my purse full and a happy smile, the young dealer caught up with me. "How did you learn to play black jack like that, ma'am?" he asked. I smiled and patted his arm. "Black jack is an old family friend, young man. You could call it a tradition." I tipped him $20 and set off to enjoy Monaco nightlife once more.
