    "Do you feel lucky, punk? Do ya?"

    These words were never truer with this Incident. Now you can wager your very own discarded cards in a game of chance to see if they'll win you some extra points, or if they'll be condemned to the out-of-play pile. And at 2 points per card, the rewards outweigh the risk. Just wait until the end of your turn, and before your card draw sift through your discard pile and choose 1 to 3 of your most useless cards you want to wager (except, of course, Kevin Uxbridge and Amanda Rogers), and then probe to see where the Dabo wheel stops. This is an excellent way to get rid of those dilemmas clogging up your discard pile.

    And anybody can do it, regardless of affiliation! All you need is Deep Space 9 / Terok Nor with Quark’s Bar, and you're ready to start placing your bets. Since Dabo plays specifically on Quark's Bar, you can even download it there using Ops. And for added effect, if you control the station, have Quark and several Dabo girls hang out in the Bar so that even if the wager is lost, regardless of who made the bet, you can still get card draws or some downloaded Latinum!

    Combos:

    • Quark's Bar + Quark + Leeta + Dabo: No need for Ops here. In two turns you can download Quark and Leeta to the Bar, and then use Leeta's special download to get Dabo. You'll have Quark and a dabo girl ready to start raking in the cash!
    • Dabo + Regenerate (or Ore Processing): Use Dabo to get rid of the discarded cards you don't need, making deck recycling quicker and more efficient.
