From the into and the earlier pages I thought that the payouts would be automatic somehow cuz the cat bet his free will. So there is some sort of enforcement agency that has to directly interceded?
I was keeping the whole system vague for now so to explain it later. There's much to say about it, so i need to split the wall of text to keep this readable ;)
All i can say is that this wasn't a real game, more of a quick one. Soon there will be the first real one.
