Synopsis

You are standing at the entrance to the Gold Coast Casino’s new Virtual Reality Gaming Room. There is a neon sign over the doorway that says: GO ON A VR ADVENTURE! WIN BIG!

An android in a black tuxedo stands next to the doorway. He smiles pleasantly and extends his hand. “The entry fee is 2000 dollars.” You give him the money.

“Now, go in and be seated in one of the open VR pods,” he tells you. “Your goal is to gather virtual loot and gold. When you reach the end of the game, the Gold Coast Casino will pay you real-world dollars for the combined value of your virtual loot and gold. Hopefully, you’ll come out ahead.”
