Gabriel followed Drake around and very quickly became familiar with the fact that this was some sort of gambling hall. So that is what his lover had meant about money growing on trees. He was worried the man would lose his shirt but Drake seemed to be holding his own for now. From the slot machines to the card games he watched carefully, learning the rules of each of these games that mixed luck and skill. Some more luck than others.<br/><br/>He thanked Drake quietly when the man gifted him with some playing chips. The card game was easy enough to master. Count which cards are out and you know which are left, it makes predicting whether a bet is wise simple. Probability is all math after all. The slot machines as they are called are not exactly random either. They run off of complex algorithms but after watching for a bit he had those figured out too. He quietly stashed away the money he won and kept up with Drake as his brain collected more and more information. His lover was having a good time, and it was nice to see him smile. Gabe would be there to catch him if he fell.
