To all those that have posted comments . . thanks a lot. A heck of a challenge, but it's been fun!

Love the timeless quality here. While the black line in bottom right corner helps balance the upper left I might crop it a bit off the top? So.........did you win any $$$ ? ;-)

Mark, very good and logical interpretation to your theme. However, i find it a bit static and lacking the excitement usually tied to gambling ; maybe a slow-motion one, or even just a touch of radial blur would make it even better ? Just my 2c...

Great one, Mark!
Even without people in this photo, I can view the image of all these abiding gamblers rounding the casino tables: actually, what a empty expression in their faces! endika

The image was taken inside my local casino with permission and under supervision. Unfortunately, my original idea wasn't allowed (no people shots), so I had to improvise. I reckon it meets the theme and keyword pretty much on the head.

First off it is a great photograph (taken inside a casino would never be allowed here)!! I like the antique look you've achieved in PP. I also really like your interpretation of your word. Nicely done.
