Probably one of the realest things ever put into a manga/comic/whatever.

I figure it'll just go on to the logical conclusion where he wins but saves Kazuya's life for some reason, then after paying Chang/Mario off their shares goes straight on to challenge Kazuya's dad because "I can't possibly lose! This is for the people he killed!"

For being basically a cheater Kazuya wasn't terribly smart about it. why would you make both chairs actually work? It made sense early on when Kaiji said he thought Kazuya was fair but the dude always had a cheat ready anyway.

Ignoring some weird swerve Kaiji will almost certainly give Mario and Chang their share plus some then ask to challenge Kazuya's dad.

Kaiji will almost certainly go on to challenge the old man again.

... After Mario and Chang steal most of the money

Remember when Kaiji tilted a building to win at pachinko?
That trick might literally work.

Kaiji clearly has an addiction to dangerous gambling even if he's a decent guy in the end so I imagine so.

Yeah, Kaiji's going to have a really hard time making a happy ending for himself because of his flaws. He's incredible when he's under pressure--when his back is to the wall he's hyper-perceptive and thinks with the kind of focus and intensity that can drill through steel plates. But when he isn't under that kind of pressure, he just completely lets go. He's more alive when his life's on the line.

The natural conclusion of which is that he's going to keep taking absurd risks forever. He'll get away from it for a while, but he'll never truly be able to quit.
Well the obvious endgame is that he finally takes on Kazuya's dad.

Just go into any reasonably decent shop and get assistance getting fitted up. People coming into get a nice suit for job interviews or meetings isn't uncommon.
