TonyCapazzoJr had been in Las Vegas for two days now. There was some business to tend to. It was his first time in Vegas and he enjoyed all it had to offer. He checked out some local restaurants and bars. Las Vegas was a fine place indeed. On his last day before leaving he decided to stop at a casino. There was no way he would come all the way to Vegas and not visit at least one casino. So he chose one and made his way there.

The particular casino he went to was one of very few casinos without mob ties to it. Tony just preferred it this way. The car pulled up in front of the casino and then Tony exited. The casino looked amazing, it had just been renovated and the paint was only a few days old. Tony looked around taking in all the site had to offer. Then he looked at the double doors leading into the casino and made his way in. Once he was inside he noticed slot machines and many other games to play. There were lights and sounds through out the entire building. Everything looked interesting but Tony was only interested playing one game on this day.

He slowly walked the aisle of the Blackjack tables. There happened to be a table with no players on it and the dealer was very welcoming.

“Hey! You there in the fedora, would you like to try your luck in some Blackjack?”

Tony looked at the dealer and thought for a moment. He then nodded and walked up to the table pulling a seat out.

“Yeah sure why not.”

Tony and the dealer introduced themselves and began to make chit chat as the hands were being played. For the first few minutes it was pretty 50/50. Tony won some and lost some, at this point he might’ve been a couple hundred dollars down from his original $3,000 buy in.

“Not exactly the kind of day I thought I would be having.”

Tony laughed to the dealer and the game continued. After about another 10 minutes Tony had broke even with his cash. Up until this point he was very moderate with his betting. His conservative play had allowed him enough time to play around and his losses were very minimal. So he decided to make it interesting.

"$1000!”

Tony said confidently. The dealer looked at him, nodded and dealt the hand. Tony saw the cards turn up and smiled.

“Blackjack!”

Tony then told the dealer he wanted to bet all of his cash on the table. He felt this may be a sign......What would then happen for the next 20 minutes was Tony would go on a incredible run winning nearly $118,000. A few people crowded around the table to watch the spectacle unfold. After a while the casino realized he was hammering this dealer and decided to switch dealers instantly. 

At this point Tony was satisfied. He saw an associate of his and looked in his direction. Once the two made eye contact Tony nonchalantly rubbed his nose twice. The associate nodded and came over to him quickly and spoke.

“Tony you are needed back at Headquarters.”

“Right this moment Paulie?”

“Yes Tony, unfortunately now.”

Tony then nodded. He took his winnings and collected his cash. Tony walked in there with 3 grand and was leaving with over $100,000. It was a great day and a good run. As Tony and his associate were headed out the door a visitor of the casino passed by and stopped Tony.

“Hello sir, I was watching you by the Blackjack tables, what a amazingly great run. Congratulations! It was incredible to watch, really incredible. WHAT LUCK!”

Tony smiled and thanked the man as he and his associate walked and exited out through the double doors of the casino. Tony then looked at his associate shaking his head.

“Luck? What an idiot, doesn’t he know men like us make our OWN luck…be sure the dealer gets his $10,000 cut...okay?”

The associate nodded and Tony entered the car. It was time to leave Vegas….$100,000 richer.
