The Dealer... Lady Luck, he called her... fixes me with a gaze both pitiless and compassionate. If I lost everything at this table, I think she would weep... And then laugh at my misfortune.

Notes

• This story takes place one day after the epilogue of the previous issue. It also occurs not long after the events of Teen Titans (Volume 4) #17.
• Various DC magical characters are featured through pictures on slot machine and Thirteen's chips bags. However, there are possible continuity errors:
  • One of the characters is Alley-Kat-Abra, one of the Zoo Crew members from Earth 26, who, however, has never visited Prime Earth by this time;
  • The events of Superman (Volume 4) #29 eventually will reveal that the Zoo Crew are actually videogame characters on Earth 0/Prime Earth;
  • Felix Faust heavily resembles his Pre-Flashpoint Felix Faust, not his The New 52 Post-Flashpoint iteration who first appeared in The Black Room storyline.
• This issue is reprinted in Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Breach of Faith.

Trivia

• The Hades Hold'em is obviously a pun on the Texas Hold'em version of Poker.
