Leon, still adjusting to the drastic transition from an ice cream parlor to a wonderland of casinos, couldn't help but chuckle nervously.
"Take it easy, Mr. High Roller. Let's not go bankrupt before we even start, okay?"
Alex, completely unfazed by his apprehension, grabbed two casino chips from a nearby counter and grinned.
"Relax, my friend. Think of it as an investment in a night we'll never forget. Besides, who knows? Maybe tonight is your lucky night."
With a playful push, he nudged Leon towards the nearest slot machine, its bright lights promising a jackpot fit for a king. Feeling slightly out of his element amidst the experienced gamblers and dazzling atmosphere, Leon hesitated. However, seeing the contagious enthusiasm in his friend's eyes, he decided to embrace the adventure.
