Mackenzie Booth (Emily Weir) desperately needs a replacement poker hostess for her next Poker night at Salt.
So she drops by the farmhouse to ask Ziggy for a favour.
But the only thing is, neither Ziggy or Mackenzie's brother, Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor) know that the restaurant boss is running illegal gambling events to solve her cashflow crisis.
Mackenzie lies that she is hosting a hen party at Salt.
But wait, didn't she say it was a buck's party before?
After Ziggy arrives at Salt, it doesn't take long for her to realise what's going on...
Will Ziggy agree to keep Mackenzie's illegal dealings a secret from boyfriend, Dean?
* Watch out for a guest appearance from ex-Neighbours star Barry Conrad, who played bad boy Kane Jones.
Felicity Newman (Jacqui Purvis) is totally focused on her boyfriend, Tane Parata (Ethan Browne) after all the latest Parata family drama.

But Tane is worried that Felicity has sacrificed the chance to make some BIG money at the latest Poker night at Salt.
Felicity assures Tane that she is happy by his side.
However, will the promise of glamour and financial risk lure the couple out of their love bubble and have them making tracks for Salt?
Elsewhere in Summer Bay, Justin Morgan (James Stewart) and John Palmer (Shane Withington) catch-up after all the drama involving Theo Poulos (Matt Evans) and his abusive dad, Dimitri.
