The Score
Atlantic City
The bright lights and ringing sounds of
a thousand slot machines... naive out-
of-towners from corn-belt states looking
to soak up a little East Coast glamour...
great racing stadiums filled with the
sounds of dogs and horses... chips,
dollar bills, and body parts passing
from loser to winner... fabulous casinos
and showgirls with hourglass figures...
backstreet seedy betting shops with
sharp-eyed hustlers looking to bleed
you dry... horse trainers and jockeys
racing their last race, bruised boxers throwing their last fight... dreams being washed into the gutter
along with vomit, blood, and torn betting slips... smile, it's the Big City where your dreams can come true
if you're willing to double down.

Set on on the Eastern seaboard of America, this playset features the big casinos and sports betting shops of
Atlantic City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_City,_New_Jersey) , and the punters - some desperate,
some foolish, some lucky - who are drawn there like moths to a flame.
