"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first Global Gambling King Competition. This competition is led by 37 casinos in Haojiang and unites more than 40 gambling cities in Southeast Asia, Siberia, Las Vegas and South America.
A world-class event jointly organized.”
In the hall, a ghost host stood in the center of the stage, introducing the background of this competition with a smile.
There are a total of eight tables in the hall, with four people sitting on each table. Two rows of more than twenty dealers are neatly arranged on both sides, standing at attention like British butlers, with serious faces, ready to serve at any time.
On the other side, there were twice as many beautiful women wearing black cheongsam. They were uniformly dressed, with skirts slit high, and their slender legs looming.
Even though their clothes are also in the style of dresses, they are service staff.
The ship's hall is somewhat like a symphony concert auditorium. Although the middle area is spacious, the audience seats are all distributed on the left and right sides.
There are three floors in total, with sofas surrounding each other to form isolated areas at regular intervals. Each area corresponds to a room.
Except for some anxious guys on the first floor who would rather stand outside the isolation zone to watch the game up close, everyone else sat on the sofa and watched from a high position.
“The preliminaries for this competition began half a year ago, and we randomly selected thirty-two regions from hundreds of regions.
The thirty-two people here are all outstanding ones who have stood out from hundreds of people from various regions.
There is no doubt that they are all experts in gambling, so this gambling king competition will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers!"
The host spoke in an ups and downs, and his emotions were very contagious. He gave a simple introduction, and I don’t know how many modifications were added, but it still made everyone present feel excited, as if they were really participating in a world-class competition.
So much so that as soon as he finished speaking, the audience heard thunderous applause.
Gao Ning's position is on the third floor, and the two of them are crowded on a single sofa. From this angle, they can have a panoramic view of the scene below.
Four bodyguards stood outside the sofa area with their backs to the two, forming a blockade.
These guys are taciturn, have a perfect tacit understanding, have an obvious military style, and do things in a very orderly manner.
When we first met, Ah Hong was a little curious, but over time, she got used to it.
However, Ah Hong was obviously a smart person. She never asked about the origins of these people. Even though she vaguely felt that these guys were definitely related to the more than 20 million US dollars last time, she still did not ask.
Gao Ning was both surprised and pleased by this.
I feel like I saw it right.
The host reached out and pressed down. Only when the applause had completely disappeared did he raise the microphone again.
"Thank you for the warm applause, but we are running out of time, so I have to continue introducing it to you!"
He stretched out his hand, and eight small carts were pushed out on both sides, with four boxes of the same style placed on each cart.
The waiter parked eight trolleys next to each sign and opened them one by one.
Various white crystal chips inside come into view, crystal clear under the light, like gems.
“In this competition, each person’s initial stake is three million U.S. dollars. If no one specifically requests it and the other three people agree, then the gambling method will be Texas Hold’em by default!
This event is limited to one hour, and after one hour, those with more than 10 million US dollars in chips will be eligible to advance!"
Ah Hong thought about it in her mind and was a little surprised: "So only one person from each table can advance?"
"Some may not have anyone at all!"
Gao Ninglao said with interest: "Texas Texas Hold'em turns tables faster, but the stakes are also huge. If it goes well, maybe you can get 10 million US dollars in less than ten minutes.
But if the performance is too dazzling, the other three people will work together to hold him back in the remaining time.
Even if you don't advance, you still have to drag the opponent back.
So even if we are ahead, it will not be easy to keep the chips in the hands of these experts until the end!"
Ah Hong thought for a while: "Then, it's not necessarily certain how many of the thirty-two people will be able to advance!"
"Unless someone can control the game, tie four people in the first fifty minutes, and ensure that the chips are quickly accumulated to ten million in the last ten minutes!"
Gao Ning shook his head and glanced at the host who was smiling and watching the discussion in low voices, "I don't know who came up with these rules, but they are really on time!"
After a while of discussion, the noise gradually disappeared.
The host raised the microphone again: "I believe everyone has discovered the trap hidden in this rule, so I won't say more. I wish everyone good luck and the competition has officially begun!"
After a burst of applause from the audience, the host bowed and left the stage.
Afterwards, the ladies in cheongsam dresses dispersed, and eight people walked to the eight tables. The remaining people each took a tray, carried drinks and snacks, and walked among the audience with their heads held high.
After all, Gao Jin has a great reputation. Being able to participate in this competition is already a favor to the organizer.
This highlighted his status, and the organizers allowed him to directly participate in the finals, so he was not among the thirty-two seeded players.
At this time, he was sitting in the auditorium on the second floor, leaning on his chin like an outsider, watching the excitement below.
Cousin Gao Yi stood nearby with a loyal face. Seeing that his cousin didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't help but approached him: "Brother, they need at least an hour. Do you want to go back to the room and rest for a while?"
Gao Jin waved his hand, pointed downward and said, "I'm not tired. Tell me what's going on with these dealers?"
"Oh, that's also for the sake of fairness. Before the game starts, each person will throw the dice once, and the number added together by the four people on the same table will be the dealer in charge of their game!" Gao Yi said.
"How do you divide twenty people into twenty-four?"
"The last four points are empty points. If the number exceeds twenty, you will be asked to roll the dice again. In addition, there are not only twenty dealers, one will be selected, and the organizer will add another one.
So, even if the same point is pointed out, don’t worry!”
"So that's it! It's quite thoughtful!"
Gao Jin nodded, glanced down, and found that several dealers had walked out of the team and entered the card dealing position.
After a few minutes, the dealer was selected, and the extra dealers automatically exited the hall. The host rang the bronze bell in front of the audience, announcing that the game officially started.
The sound of the card shuffling machine instantly resounded throughout the hall. The audience observed each contestant and guessed who might be more advanced.
Some spectators could not wait to call the concierge, throw out checks one after another, and join the peripheral channels.
That’s right, the Gambling King Competition itself is not just a gambling game!
