After getting something to eat in the restaurant, Luke entered the casino on the ground floor at five in the morning.
The casino was still crowded with players who didn't care about the time.
There were no clocks or windows in the casinos in Las Vegas, so that tourists could forget the time or wouldn't rest until they had lost their last dime.
Luke took out a thousand dollars' worth of chips and wandered among the tables.
Same as most tourists, he bet when he was interested and left when he wasn't.
After an hour, he had taken a look at almost every kind of game in the casino.
His final conclusion was that it wasn't hard to win!
But the easiest way to make a fortune was blackjack, which required the least cards to play.
As an experiment, he played a few games at a blackjack table.
