The Elf allows you trade a quarter of your gold for a chance to open 1 out of 3 chests and win triple what you spent. The other two chests contain nothing.
Statistically he is offering a fair deal, and a successful guess with him can give the player enough gold in one run to buy an expensive upgrade in the Manor.
Increasing Bounty increases the efficiency of this room; for example, gambling 1,000 gold will cause the chest to open and contain the equivalent of 3,000 gold in coins, coin bags, and diamonds. However, with a Bounty of 100%, the gold picked up will be worth 6,000 in total. This means that, generally, if you have a decent amount of Bounty, gambling is a good idea. Furthermore, if you have the Nerdy Glasses you can see which chest contains the loot.
His service can be used only once per dungeon. Revisiting a locked down dungeon will not allow a player to retry. However, he can appear several times in a single run.
Quotes[]
- ???: Greetings adventurer. I am here to give you a chance of a lifetime!

- Impatient Elf: Open a chest already!
- Sore Winner Elf: What's in the box? NOTHING! You stupid! Soooo stupid!
