1. Michael is eating lunch with three friends when one young man pulls out a pack of cards. "Gentlemen," he says, "who's up for a little five-card stud?"
2. Carrie arrives at a party with her friends Stacie and Lucia. Scanning the room, they see a group of students gathered in a circle playing dice. "Come on," Stacie urges. "Let's join the action!"
3. Jorge is walking home from school with his friends Cole and Michael. Passing a convenience store, Cole says, "I dare you to buy a lottery ticket!"
4. Amanda is at a slumber party. "I'm bored," one girl sighs. "Let's get on the Internet and gamble!"
5. Connor is on a class field trip to Atlantic City. "Want to prove your cool?" an older student asks. "Go into one of the casinos and play black jack without getting caught!"
