"That it is," Childermass assures him. "You would not be able to miss it if you drew it."

There's no obvious betting going on, apparently a game for fun over profit. With the Host providing the way he does, it's not as though there'd be all that much to gain from gambling aside from the satisfaction. While that is something to aim for, this time it hasn't come up.

What is, however, is an ample amount of cheating, if Joker is watching closely enough. There are varying degrees of skill at it, ranging from not too bad but still catchable to one or two who don't appear to be cheating at all (but probably are regardless). Childermass falls into the latter category... either that or he's just that lucky because when he discards and draws, he'll lay his entire hand down for all to see to reveal he's gotten five full angels, including the Angel of Death itself (a fairly stylized reaper-like figure).

"Any better?" He'll ask, but of course, there isn't, so he just grins and collects the cards again to reshuffle.

He'll pass Joker five cards along with everyone else when they move on to the next round.
