It was the year 2001, it was hot and about the rain in the evening while he was returning home. Suddenly it started raining and has to stop on side with no umbrella with him. The rain was immense and had no sign to stop. He looked behind where he was standing and saw three buildings. One was a theater and had a movie running while other was a casino and other was a bread shop.


Thinking not that much hard, looking up onto his pocket found a 100 Yen and entered the casino because why not, why not even I try my luck there too. How worse could it be cause he was already lost and have no hope. The crowd inside looked hopeful. The smell of beverages in the air, sound of people betting and laughing with their cards in their hands. But with 100 Yen in his hand, there was only one thing that he was allowed to play was the machine where he can enter some coins and play.


He started playing the machine and planned to go low first with a coin of 5 Yen. Within first 5 game, he already started showing that the game had no luck and feel rigged. And with no luck in hand he gambled all remaining coins and did a final roll which in the end result of loosing all the money he had. He went out of the casino and to find the rain was still there, so he sat in the corner and waited for the night and rain to end.
