LSEA are the odd letters of Las Vegas, a reference to both Vegas and "odds." Each of these photos is of a Las Vegas casino, and you need to calculate the odds of each event:

 

Harrah's - 18/37 = 0.4865

Sahara - 13/32 = 0.4063

Venetian - 18/38 = 0.4737

Circus Circus - 13/38 = 0.3421

Treasure Island - 14/38 = 0.3684

O'Sheas - about 64/2500 (it varies) = 0.0256ish

New York New York - 100% = 1.0000

Caesar's Palace - 20/52 = 0.3846

Westward Ho - 26/52 = 0.5000

Excalibur - 22/52 = 0.4231

El Cortez - 52/54 = 0.9630

Aladdin - 26/54 = 0.4815

Luxor - ridiculously low = 0.0000ish

Hard Rock Hotel - 12/36 = 0.3333

Nevada Palace - 15/36 = 0.4167
