One Badass.
One Femme Fatale.
We’ll let you decide who’s who.
Don Williams
We can’t decide if he’s a better dealer or player.
Either way he’s a force to be reckoned with.

One of the newest features of our app is “Bounties and Kills”.
Bounties are randomly picked out of the player pool. You can find them marked in red.
If you take out a bounty, you get the “Kill”!
I have a strange feeling there may be a prize for the most “Kills” in our future!
Happy Hunting!! ... See MoreSee Less
