When chasing after the culprit he may recover more money than was originally stolen. He can also approach one of the glitzy casinos, only to be refused admission for being "of the lower classes". The doorman will refer him to a card game with high stakes in the casino's basement if asked, where Passepartout will lose five hundred pounds if he plays.
