- Chancer's Commercial
As the owner of Olympia's only legal gambling company, Chancer holds a monopoly on all the legal gambling action within the city. His motto is literally: "If you shake on it, you pay for it!" Meaning any bet or deal that is shaken on within the limits of Chancer's is on with no take backs. Chancer's will manage that deal for the bettors for a small fee, however. That service is not available in The Lucky Break, which is understandable given it is in Undertown.
Undertown's Chancer's Branch is right at home. A single room hidden in a basement. It is the highest security branch of the company; with a high undercover judge presence, soldiers and a lot of iron bars separate the patrons from the staff and money. Steve here has been the head of staff since The Lucky Break opened almost twenty years ago. She is a strong, independent woman that has been known to knock Chancer back into his place. Her name is a nickname Chancer gave her when they first met. Chancer has since given every "Steve" their nickname, but he clearly has no imagination.
The aim of Undertown's Chancer's is to get a gambler in and out of the establishment as soon as possible, bets are placed and then the gamblers are directed towards The Graveyard Shift. If someone wins, they can bring back their receipt to claim their winnings.
