A casino is offering a gamble to customers. A single, fair six-sided die is rolled. If a player rolls 1,2, or 3, the payoff is the number rolled in dollars. If the player rolls 4,5, or 6, they get to draw from a standard 52-card deck of cards and gets paid the number on the card in dollars (kings, queens, jacks, and aces are each worth $10). What price to play makes this a fair gamble?
