Big winner

A bartender is dealing poker is people sitting around the bar. I forget to turn in my cards after a round, but the bartender shuffles and deals a new hand before I notice. He debates redoing the hand but continues. Another hand ends and I rearrange the cards that people have played. I give myself a 4 of kind and another guy a 4 of a kind in 3s. The bartender pays me for the winning hand with a large bucket of tokens. I pick up the bucket and turn to leave the game. The bar forms a square in the middle of a larger room. It is some kind of video parlor or cheap casino. I cross through the other gaming area which is carpeted and into a large hallway that is not. This wide and short hall leads into a foyer with a marbled tiled floor. On the other side of the foyer is the cashier window where you cash in your chips. As I step from the hall into the foyer, a woman comes up behind me and dances against me. I turn around and it is an older woman in a security guard uniform. She congratulates me on my big winning.
