Hey gang, here's a new Cookie Gulch story where Sheriff Marshall and his gang of Diaper Deputies battle a greedy gambler who has opened up a crooked casino. It's up to the crinkly padded sheriff as he tries to stop this gambling varmint by using his gambling skills to bankrupt his casino once and for all.

When you think of any town of the wild west, every town has at least a sheriff's office, doctor's office, barber/dentist office, post office, churches, variety stores, and saloons. But each town has that one place where cowboys would go to for entertainment and skill, and that's the gambling casino. Now Cookie Gulch has their share of casinos. However, the owners have to follow a strict rule signed by Sheriff Marshall, Judge Dukey, and Mayor Digitz that all casinos has to play fairly and allow the costumers to win once in a while. And most important, the gambling equipment such as playing cards, dice, slot machines and the roulette wheel must not be tampered with to enforce cheating. If there's one thing that the sheriff, judge, and mayor do not want is seeing Cookie Gulch becoming another town of ill repute.

One of the casinos in Cookie Gulch is a popular place known as "The Lucky Kitty", which is operated by Sheriff Marshall's good friend Lord Reginald Truxton. Reginald goes by the town's rules and regulations, never uses any cheating devices, and allows his costumers to win big. His gambling hall has several casino games: Texas Hold'em Poker, Black Jack, Craps, Keno, Roulette, and lots of slot machines. The chances of breaking the bank in all games is 50/50, so any costumer has a good chance to win big if luck's on their side.

The Lucky Kitty also has a state of the art arcade area for the little tykes that are too young to gamble. However, there are special gambling games for the cubs such as Go Fish, War, and Crazy 8's where the tykes gamble on cookies as currency if they get too bored with the video games. But the sheriff doesn't want to any of the cubs go out of control with the gambling and becoming a habit forming problem, so parental advisory is a must if the cubs should try their luck.

The casino also has a dress code, so if Sheriff Marshall or any of his deputies want to enter, they have to wear their nicely made jackets and ties. Diapers are allowed as long as they're clean. If any costumer that's playing any game and has an accident, the game will be interrupted until the costumer gets changed. Once the costumer returns in a clean diaper, the game will continue. Reginald wants to keep his casino clean and dislikes having the place all stunk up with messy diapers.

Business has been going fine for Reginald and his casino. But one day, an unknown source has occupied the building across the street from the Lucky Kitty. A few days later, a sign was placed on top of the building titled "Chauncy Cheatumall's Casino and Lounge. Once the casino opened, several costumers flocked in to try out their luck in the new casino. As Reginald saw the huge crowd enter inside, he knew he was in for some serious competition from the new casino owner.

But trouble was brewing within the new casino. As the costumers went in to try out their luck, they quickly exited the place flat broke and wearing nothing but barrels to cover their naked shame. As the days went on, it continued so much that the penniless costumers piled up inside the sheriff's office to complain about the new casino, and the owner is robbing the costumers blind. At first Marshall thought that all the costumers were suffering from bad luck, but then he remembered something. The new owner never did approached the sheriff or the mayor for a deed to his new casino, nor did they told the owner about the casino rules of Cookie Gulch. Sensing foul play, Marshall sent out three of his deputies to check out the place. And so, deputies Davey, Nobath, and Rock headed towards the new casino.

Moments later, Sheriff Marshall got the shock of his life as he saw his deputies returned without their outfits, and wearing nothing but barrels. As Marshall quickly led his unlucky deputies inside his office and gave each a new diaper to wear, he asked on what was happening down there.

Marshall: "So what happened to you guys? You didn't foolishly gamble all your earnings away, did you?"

Davey: "Sadly, that's what happened, sheriff. As we questioned the owner about if his place was going by the rules, he allowed us to play against him to make sure he was playing fairly. I challenged him to a friendly game of Poker, but he always beat me out with a hand of four kings or four aces every time. I lost over $2000 on that Poker game."

Nobath: "Then I challenged him at the Roulette table, but every time I gamble on a number, the marble always landed on the owner's number he bet on, '00' I lost $3000."

Rock: "Then I challenged him at the Craps table, and every time I rolled the dice, it always landed on "Snake Eyes!" I lost $5000 and the deed to my house!"

Davey: "He also sent you a note, sheriff. It looks like an invitation."

Marshall read the note which read: "Thank you kindly for sending your suckers... er I mean DEPUTIES to my casino. I had a wonderful time cleaning them out like I do to the other suckers who visit my casino! If you're feelin' lucky, just try to get me, sheriff. I'll be waiting for you!" Signed. Chauncy Cheatumall.

Sheriff Marshall was silent for a while. "You know guys, I think we're dealing with a sneaky slimeball of a cheater. It's bad enough that he didn't come to the mayor for a deed or know the rules, but he's robbing the town folks of their hard earned cash. Did he even challenged you three for all your cookies?"

Nobath: "No, he only gambles for money. He didn't want our cookies."

That made Marshall even more suspicious. "So that's his plan. He's robbing everybody, adult and cub, on their hard earned pay until the town goes bankrupt! He's got to be stopped. And I guess it's up to me to put him out of business."

As Marshall left his office, the first stop he made was visiting Mayor Digitz. Before he became mayor, Digitz was a professional gambler that knew all the tricks about cards, dice, roulette, and slot machines. And after Marshall told the mayor about the new casino owner's sinister plan, the mayor wasted no time to teach the sheriff on what he knows. After a few hours on giving him tips, Marshall knows all the secrets on gambling. But Mayor Digitz knew that training the sheriff isn't enough. "If you're going to beat Cheatumall, you'll have to beat him at his own game. And that is to out cheat him."

The next stop was at Sir Bally's home. And after telling him about what's going on, Bally said "I've got just the things for you, sheriff." He walked up to a card table and opened up a brand new pack of Bee playing cards. Bally shuffled the deck and laid three cards face down on the table.

Bally: "So what do you see, Marshall?"

Marshall: "I see three cards on the table, Bally".

Bally then handed Marshall a pair of reading glasses. As Marshall put on the glasses, Bally then asked him: "Now, what do you see?"

Marshall looked at the cards, still turned face down. But then, he saw something and without turning over the cards, he started to read them.

Marshall: "King of clubs. Ten of hearts. Ace of spades." Marshall then gave out a sly smile. "Bally, you sly dog! These are a pair of X-ray glasses!"

Bally: "That's correct! With those glasses, you can see the backs of the dealer's cards and see their hands all the time! Now I got another handy little invention for you. Hold out your left arm."

As Marshall held out his arm, Bally strapped on a little device around his arm.

Bally: "This is the automatic dealer. When you press this button, a card will pop out. I filled up the dealer with kings and aces, the two highest ranked cards. Now you can earn a winning hand all the time with four kings and aces!"

As Marshall thanked Bally for the two helpful devices that will give him an edge against Chauncy, Marshall then headed back to his office and got out his nicely pressed baby blue jacket with matching top hat and a red bow tie. Luckily, his red cuff links secretly hides the automatic dealer still attached to his left arm. And after changing into a fresh thick diaper, he headed towards Chauncy's Casino.

As he arrived, Marshall is greeted by a beautiful grey lop eared rabbit who was wearing a pretty gown and equally thick diaper.

Loriel: "Greetings sheriff! My name's Loriel, and I'll be your hostess for the evening. So what game do you like to play tonight?"

Marshall: *holding up the invitation* "Tell your boss that I accepted his challenge, and I'm here to wipe him out!"

Loriel: "He's at the Poker table straight ahead." As Marshall was ready to head over the table, Loriel then whispered in Marshall's ear. "Good luck Marshall. And beware of Chauncy's other hosts. They are armed and will obey Chauncy's orders."

Marshall then nodded towards Loriel and headed over to the table where Chauncy Cheatumall was waiting for him. He was a scruffy looking pine marten with a golden tooth that shined brightly as he gave out a wicked grin as Marshall sat down. Chauncy was wearing a dark green jacket with a matching derby that's decorated with dollar signs all over. Even the tape panel on his diaper had dollar signs. He was flipping a pair of golden dice as he looked straight at Marshall and started to trash talk to him.

Chauncy: "So, you're the thickly diapered sheriff of Cookie Gulch!" *looks at Marshall's clothing* "Nice outfit. Did you purchase that jacket and top hat by yourself or did your mommy help you?!" he said with a wicked sneer on his face.

But Marshall was in no mood for jokes. "Are we going to play cards, or are you just going to sit there and crack jokes all night?!" He then put a large stack of money on the table, $10,000 in total. "So let's just cut the crap and let's play! I'm in the mood to take you down for what you did to my deputies earlier!"

Chauncy then shifted his eyes towards the money and his grin got even more sinister. "Oh, a cocky little brat aren't you? Well you can't accuse me for cheating since your deputies suffered nothing but bad luck. But now since it's you and me, I guarantee that when this night's over, you'll be cleaned out just like your deputies! Your diapered little ass is mine!!"

The two little gamblers then started playing several rounds of Poker. But with Marshall's trick glasses, he could secretly see Chauncy's hand, in which he had a full house. As Marshall held his hand carefully and out of Chauncy's sight, he used the automatic dealer to replace his cards and give him an edge. Marshall then beat Chauncy's full house with four kings.

The next set of hands are the same. Marshall beat Chauncy's hand with a full house of aces and kings. Then it was a hand of two pairs (two kings and two aces over Chauncy's pair of queens), then a three of a kind (three aces over Chanucy's three jacks) and another four kings. No matter what kind of hand Chauncy plays, Marshall got the better hands.

But on the last hand, Chauncy got wise as Marshall beat Chauncy with a hand of FIVE aces. But as Marshall went to collect the money he earned, Chauncy slammed down both of Marshall's arms towards the table, revealing the automatic dealer around his left arm.

Chauncy: "SO!! You were cheating all the time, you Pamper packin' pipsqueak!! *Chauncy then pulled out a tranquilizer dart gun* "Sheriff, you just dealt your last cheatin' hand!"

Marshall: "I wasn't cheating, I just beat you at your game is all I did." Marshall then gave a quick shrug and then all of a sudden, he quickly flipped over the table, causing Chauncy to lose his edge as he was covered with cards and chips. Marshall then pulled out his tranquilizer dart gun and aimed at Chauncy.

Marshall: "Game over Chauncy! You're under arrest for running a crooked casino!"

Chauncy got up with his hands up, but still had that wicked grin on his face. "It's not over yet, sheriff! It's about time that I played my trump card!" as he snapped his fingers. All at once, all of Chauncy's staff, from the dealers to the dancing girls pulled out a gun and aimed towards at the sheriff. Even the hostess Loriel aimed a gun at Marshall. Realizing that he was outnumbered, Marshall had no choice but to drop his dart gun.

Chauncy: *laughing loudly* HA HA!! Looks like you lose sheriff! You should know that when you cheat against me, you'll wind up not only broke, but out like a light! *he then turned towards Loriel* "Loriel, since you invited him here, I'm giving you the top honers to put him to sleep!"

Loriel then squeezed the trigger and released her dart. But instead of aiming at Marshall, she quickly turned and shot at Chauncy instead! As Chauncy staggered towards the floor with a tranquilizer dart in his shoulder, the entire staff stared at Loriel in disbelief. Seizing his chance, Marshall then pulled out his magic noodle lasso and quickly roped up the entire staff. As Chauncy and his crooked staff was then brought to justice, Marshall went over to Loriel.

Marshall: "Nice shot kid!"

Loriel: "Thank you sheriff. *she then pulled out a badge* "Deputy Loriel at your service from Carrot Valley Canyon. I've been hot on the trail for months in capturing Chauncy Cheatumall. He's wanted in ten towns for operating crooked casinos and leaving each town bankrupt. Thanks to you, Chauncy's career as a casino owner is over!"

Marshall and Loriel then took Chauncy and his staff to the courthouse where Judge Dukey will place a trial on them. A hour later, Sheriff Marshall, Loriel, Davey, Rock, and Nobath returned to the crooked casino for a full inspection.

Marshall checked out all the playing cards and sure enough, all the kings and aces in each deck were marked with invisible ink which was revealed when Marshall held the marked cards up towards the bright lights.

Davey checked out each and every slot machine, and he found out that each one had a little computer device hidden inside the slot machine. When activated, the device was programmed to give out a three way split every time.

Nobath checked out the roulette table, and found another programming device hidden underneath the table which allowed the marble to stop at any spot with a push of a button.

Rock checked out the Craps table, and after testing out several pairs of dice, he found that each pair was "loaded", always rolling out Snake Eyes every time. Rock then tested out Chauncy's golden dice and they were also loaded, giving out a lucky seven every time.

But it was Loriel that showed the sheriff and the deputies the true jackpot of the casino. She opened up a safe which revealed all the money Chauncy cheated from each and every costumer that visited the casino. Not only did they found money, but they also found clothing, deeds, even packs of diapers! Once the sheriff and his deputies cleared out the safe, they took all the belongings and returned them to their rightful owners, including Marshall's deputies belongings and the deed to Rock's house.

A week later, Judge Dukey declared Chauncy Cheatumall and his staff guilty for operating a casino without a deed, failing to follow the town's gambling rules, and robbing the townfolkes wealth. They're sentenced for 50 years at Hell's Gate with only two meals a day and only one diaper change a day.

As for the casino, it was put up for sale until a buyer came along and bought the empty building. The buyer turned out to be Dan Raccoon, the town's local pilot and one of the sheriff's best friends, and turned it into a lodge, complete with stage and hotel rooms. Dan would operate his lodge during the evenings once he's done with his day job, running the tiny airport of Cookie Gulch.
