🎩 THE BOOKIE — The Velvet Lounge

Embodiment Q · 250 token cover · Real sports odds at locked lines
Stand outside the door. Push the buzzer twice. The slot opens.

💸 THE LOAN SHARK — Pawn Shop Basement

Embodiment R · One time only · 50% interest · 72 hours
The old man at the pawn counter slides his eyes to the back. "He's in. Knock twice. Don't waste his time."

HOW TO PLAY THE DEMO

  1. Enter The Velvet Lounge — pay the 250 token cover. The Bookie greets you. Browse the day's slate of real sports games.
  2. Place a bet — click any moneyline or spread line. The line is locked at this moment with a SHA-256 seal. The Bookie always honors the line you took.
  3. Settle a bet — use the SETTLE button on any open bet to enter the actual game outcome. Winners get paid in tokens; losers forfeit.
  4. Borrow from The Loan Shark — visit the basement of the Pawn Shop. He'll lend you up to 500 tokens (NEUTRAL tier). 50% interest. 72 hours. Once in your lifetime.
  5. Default the loan — click "Force Default" to simulate failing to pay back in time. The Loan Shark issues a HARD_BAN. Word travels.
  6. Try to enter The Velvet Lounge again — the doorman doesn't even let you finish your sentence. "Your money's no good here, friend."
  7. Pay back the debt — the bans lift in reverse propagation. You regain access to all venues.
  8. Reset — click "Reset to Fresh State" at the top to wipe everything and start over.
