A breath-mask-wearing gambler spent time in the Canto Casino in the city Canto Bight on the planet Cantonica^[1] in 34 ABY,^[2] and made a bet with the Heptooinian gambler Kaljach Sonmi and the trio of Suerton brothers known as the Lucky Three. Sonmi and the brothers won by ordering drinks and moving around until four of the casino's SE8 waiter droids crashed into one another and fell on the ground, something the breath-mask-wearing gambler did not think they would be able to do. The losing gambler also spoke Basic.^[1]

Behind the scenes

↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi to 34 ABY. Since 4 Reasons Canto Bight Is an Essential Read on StarWars.com (backup link) dates the events of the Canto Bight collection to a few days before the events of The Last Jedi, which is set after The Force Awakens, the events of "The Ride," in which the breath-mask-wearing gambler appears, must take place in that year.
