This venue, at its core, is a SFW (Safe For Work) RP-focused venue. In-character interactions are encouraged as much as possible, though we're not strict on it, so everyone can enjoy their time here.
Role-players of all experiences are welcomed, especially beginner role-players who we encourage to join in on day-to-day happenings! Non-roleplayers are also welcome as long as respect for the staff, patrons, and venue are observed.
Regarding all guests, please use /em and " " for in character posts, and parenthesis or brackets ) ] for out of character posts, as well as leaving /yell and /shout to the staff/hosts.
All patrons are expected to be polite, respectful, and mindful of the staff and fellow patrons, both in and out of character.
You aren't obliged to buy anything to sit at the venue or to use it for a meeting spot, but we will offer a menu. Purchases will grant an in-game food item of varying quality on hand.
Weapons must be either sheathed or stowed away. Minions must be dismissed [unless it is for roleplay purposes.]

➢ Once all players have completed their turns, the Dealer hits until they have a total of 17 or higher then must stand. They will hit on Soft 16 and stand on Soft 17. (A hand that contains an Ace is considered an 11.)➢ Winning Payouts:
➢ If the player's hand total exceeds 21, their bet is considered Bust and lost.
