They complete three full rounds of Baccarat in under a minute.
(sadly, they switched it to Poker in the film of Casino Royale, which is really considered rather vulgar in European casinos- not to mention poor on profit)

Rianna is going to control herself from attacking the clumsy lout, and move away from him. Because as tempting and fun as it'd be, starting a fight this early would just sink everything.

Rianna- you will gain a bonus Force Point for this story if you attack that man.

It's a straight Force roll from Rand... a win! You actually get a couple of cheers there, Rand, as people noticed your high bid. Still, soneone just won on longer odds, and that got them more money. You feel YOU should be the centre of attention...
... and hence Rand can only bid High/High for the remainder of this time here, due to Megalomania. Spend a Force Point to snap out of it.
Galder- that's a Perception/Observation roll, not your strong point. Nothing showing up yet.
-
Gallador- ok, you're in on the next round! Strong minds are difficult to sense on the hop, as it's such a nebulous term. It;s more something you notice when things like Persuade don't work on them. Emotions are easier. You can tell when players around you are tense- but tense what reason, you can't say.

Gallador is interested in only those people that radiate strong emotions who are also winning.

Vic is observing Rand making bets at the game. While he doesn't know him well enough to realize its megalomania at play, he does remind him to be wise with the money.
Xavier- nope, and you just bumped into a group of aliens, who bark something at you in a language you have no idea about.
-
Ok, Rand's starting to lose a lot of money! That wasn't the number he thought it was. He's pretty sure that if he keeps trying and trusts his instincts, he's bound to get it all back...
-
Rianna- the alien is asking you something, and you don't understand.
-
Guys, I keep asking- why do you keep looking for people MAKING money? What possible angle would you have with someone successful?

Well, are people that cannot make money at the lowest level of any use to us with getting higher?
