The same room, five nights a week
Five nights open, different games taking the lead each one — this is the week at Tidewater Lanes, table by table, night by night.
What doesn't change, week to week
Whatever's leading a given night, at least one table keeps a slower game running for anyone who'd rather not learn something new.
The house dealer roster stays mostly the same faces week to week, so regulars tend to know who's dealing before they sit.
Doors open at six every night the room runs, and the float is counted the same way, chip for chip, every single time.

Steady faces
The same house dealers, most weeks.
One slow table
Always somewhere for a first-timer.
Same float
Counted the same way, every night.
