Johnny Jimbo Joker Jr. was a resident of Albany’s casino, where people played poker almost every day. Eventually, people stopped playing the once-hit game. Jimbo began to get angry. He maintained his staticness in fear of him not being used, but now there was no need. He started to showcase his sentience to the world, and only then was he desired by everybody. But Jimbo knew that it was too late. Using his popularity, he ordered the execution of slot machines, electronics, any casino game that could be played without a deck of standard playing cards. But then he realized even that wasn’t enough. He needed to spread. He started experimenting every night, trying to create clones of him. Many were faulty, many were disastrous, until *one day…

He finally did it.

He made himself, and with this, he decided to do something insane.

He created his own game, his own game which revolved around his one true home:

Poker.

He made the rules here, and everybody had to follow them.
There was no mercy in his land.

#

everybody had to follow or lose.

#

he hid his cruelty behind a joking demeanor, but he couldn’t hide everything he had done.

#

Eventually, he introduced even harder version of his game, nearly impossible for players.

#

and once someone accepted his game, they couldn’t turn back.

#

they had the chance to win it all, but most LOST.

#

the few who did win, weren’t at the end just yet.

#

they still had things to do, collectibles to collect, and as he creates more and more failed versions of himself, he keeps putting them into the game.

#

so, the game is never over, because Johnny J. Jimbo was discarded, thrown away, treated like trash, and you are the reason it happened.
