She told herself it was just harmless fun, but she couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to it than met the eye.

As the weeks went by, Nadine found herself spending more and more time with the game. Her friends and co-workers grew concerned, often making jokes about her newfound addiction.

Finally, her luck ran out.

After ten weeks of some decent results but a few big wins, Nadine was the biggest loser of the week. For the first time, she caught a glimpse of the game's true nature.
