It would make sense that if supernatural factions have links to the mortal power structure, that the mortal faction aware of the supernatural would have their own connections to the supernatural, even if they have obscured them and themselves.

Oh, that's a good bet. The Council and the Librarians, for ex (if that's what the Librarians are) might not be officially aware of each other, but that doesn't mean that individual Librarians and individual Wizards don't interact.

A young Harry, shortly after trying to rob a convenience store and before the Council hunted him down, tries to beat a casino's odds so he can use the money to go into hiding. Casino security catches on, and one of the higher ups, who knows about the supernatural, reaches out to the White Council, which is how they tracked him down for his trial.
I'd read it.

I like it, with one objection.
The Merphyonic field.

If he found his way to an older casino it's possible there might be mechanical slots around?

Well, Harry was 16, which means it would have been happening circa ~1986 or so, give or take. When did the electronic slots start displacing the traditional ones in a big way?
(I can remember as a kid that if you saw slot machines on TV, it was always the mechanical ones, back in the 70s.)

I remembered seeing mechanical ones on TV throughout the 90's. Never went to casinos in those days (or these days, really) so I dont know when they actually started getting phased out, but I'd think the mechanical ones would have been the more trusted than digital for a good while after the tech was available.
