Gambling for Captain Edward Teach's boat the Gypsy Shadow, with Killian Drake in Black Root, is a possible partial solution to the Find Nasrudin Quest.

The game begins by setting a stake.
The player then rolls 2 six-sided dice.
If the the total is 7 or 11 then the player wins.
If the total is 2 (snake eyes) then the player loses.
Any other total becomes the player's new target.
The dice are rolled again until either:
- The target total is matched, and the player wins
- Or a 2 or 7 are rolled, and the player loses
Play can be ended after any round.
Play can continue until either party is out of money, or the player's opponent goes hostile due to excessive losing.
