Chapter five hundred and sixty fourth gambling card selection
"Tyler, didn't you say this before? Let's get started!"
Gambling cards with Gedhaus at the same table is something Abdul has longed for for a long time. As for winning or losing, he doesn't care at all. For Abdul, money is just a string of numbers in a bank account.
"It's okay for me..." Earl Harrington shrugged his shoulders and said with a pipe in his mouth: "I just want to see the world's best card skills..."
"Playing cards is a manifestation of wisdom and courage. Winning or losing is actually not important."
Doug.
Thomson is a well-known playboy in the circle. In his words, if you are born in this world, you must drink the best wine and play with the most beautiful women. He is also a frequent visitor to such top-notch gambling games.
"Let's get started. At this table, there's no telling who will lose and who will win."
The last person to speak was the South African diamond tycoon Modise. He participates in this kind of gambling almost every year. Last year, he won nearly 300 million US dollars from Abdul.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, the gambling will begin."
After hearing the words of several people, Taylor nodded and said: "I will be the host of this gambling game. There are a total of thirty-six cameras filming the whole process. If you have any objections, you can check the surveillance video at any time..."
While talking, Taylor took off his suit, unbuttoned the cuffs of the white shirt underneath, and rolled up both sleeves to his forearms.
By doing this, Taylor was telling everyone that he had no cards hidden, and he was also announcing the fairness of the bet.
As for the cameras in every corner of the house and on the roof, they are the most advanced and high-power camera equipment in the world today.
This kind of camera can decompose the lens to one ten thousandth. No matter how fast you steal a sign, you can't escape the surveillance of these electronic eyes.
"Taylor, you host it every year, we can trust you!"
Earl Harrington stood up first and sat on a chair in front of the card table. He said: "Let's follow the old rules and draw cards to reserve seats..."
These people here are all the richest people on the planet. They can also be said to be the most dominant people. They may have their own preferences for who sits and where.
So very early on, the casino set an unforgettable rule. Before this kind of gambling begins, everyone will draw a card first and compare the cards.
Among the cards drawn by everyone, the Ace of Spades is the largest, the Heart is the second, and the Diamond 2 is the smallest.
After the cards are drawn, whoever has the largest single card has the right to choose a seat first, and so on for the rest. The person with the smallest card naturally has no say.
After hearing what Earl Harrington said, Abdul and others also stood up and came to the gambling table. After hearing Bai Zhentian's brief explanation, Qin Feng also stood up and walked over.
"The playing cards used today are the latest products provided by the American Playing Card Company."
Taylor snapped his fingers, and the waiter standing at the door came over carrying an alloy safe. After opening the safe, there were hundreds of decks of playing cards piled inside.
The gambling supplies provided by the casino to these super rich people must naturally be worthy of their status. The American Playing Card Company is the largest poker manufacturer in the world. The playing cards they produced in the early days have even become collections of many people.
.
"This kind of poker is the latest development. The similarity on the cards has reached 100%. Even if it is a Gadehouse, you probably can't tell what card it is from the back..."
Taylor introduced poker, not forgetting to make a joke about Gedhaus.
Because for gambling masters, some of them can find some subtle differences on the back of the card and thus remember the card.
So in this kind of gambling, the cards have to be changed every time, which is why Taylor prepared a whole lockbox of playing cards.
Taylor put the box of playing cards forward, but he took a step back and said, "Now, please randomly select and test these playing cards."
License verification is an indispensable procedure for this kind of top-level gambling, because with the development of technology, the methods of cheating in gambling are also ever-changing and difficult to guard against.
It's like there is a potion, apply it on the back of the cards, and then put on a pair of contact lenses, you can clearly see the points of the playing cards. This is also the most popular method in recent years.
So in the process of checking the cards, even Abdul didn't say much. He waved his hand and asked one of his men to step forward.
Except for Qin Feng, almost everyone, including Gedhaus, had a special license verification tool. Seeing others stepping forward to verify the license, Qin Feng could only touch his nose and smile bitterly.
"Sir, don't you need to check the license plate?" Taylor looked at Qin Feng, who was sitting there motionless.
"No, I think... if there is cheating on gambling equipment in the MGM casino, I am afraid that this kind of gambling will appear in other casinos next year...
·”
Qin Feng smiled and shook his head. He didn’t bring any license verification tools anyway, so he might as well pretend to be generous. Of course, Qin Feng didn’t forget to compliment Taylor.
"This gentleman is joking. MGM has always been known for its fairness." After hearing Qin Feng's words, Taylor's expression changed slightly, because Qin Feng hit the key point of the casino.
You know, even in the world, there are only two or three casinos that can organize such top-level card games. In addition to MGM, there are Monte Carlo in Morocco and Portugal in Australia.
Organizing this kind of card game for the top rich can not only earn huge commissions, but it is also a symbol of the casino's status. If MGM really makes any mistakes, I don't know how many casinos want to replace it.
"That's good. I always hear people say that nine out of ten gambles are cheating. I think the dealer who deals the cards shouldn't be you, right?" Qin Feng chuckled, but his words became sharper.
Qin Feng could tell that the man named Taylor had broad finger bones, and the fingerprints on the top joint of his fingers were almost smoothed away. This sign showed that Taylor was definitely a master of gambling.
For such masters, they can cheat thousands of times without making a sound when shuffling the cards.
Take Qin Feng himself as an example. When the cards are handed into his hand and a deck of cards is shuffled, Qin Feng can get himself a straight flush of spades with cards like A, K, Q, J, and 10 in each hand.
So if Taylor were to shuffle and deal the cards, Qin Feng would not be at ease no matter what.
"Sir, you are worrying too much..." Taylor frowned slightly when he heard this and said: "I only preside over the gambling game, shuffling and dealing the cards, it is not my job."
Taylor had paid special attention to Qin Feng, but after a conversation with his boss, he gave up the idea of recruiting Qin Feng. However, Qin Feng's few words at this moment made Taylor look at him with admiration.
The fact that Qin Feng was able to bring up the matter of dealing cards shows that he knows the tricks involved, and it also shows that maybe Qin Feng himself has such outstanding skills.
"Chinese, this is your first time in this kind of gambling game. Don't you know the rules?"
Abdul, who was sitting not far from Qin Feng, had a cigar in his mouth and said vaguely: "It is up to us to decide who will deal the cards. You will understand later..."
"
"Okay then!" Qin Feng shrugged. Since the casino has taken this into consideration, I'm afraid it really won't do anything in this kind of gambling.
Four or five minutes later, the assistants brought by everyone had finished checking the cards. Taylor stood in the middle of the gambling table and opened a deck of cards in front of everyone.
After Taylor took out the big and small kings from the deck of cards, he shuffled the cards several times skillfully, then spread them out on the table to form a fan shape, and said: "Gentlemen, you can draw the cards..."
"Then I won't be polite."
Abdul first drew a card and placed it in front of him, followed by Doug.
Thomson, Earl Harrington and Modise also drew a card each.
As for Qin Feng and Gedhaus, they had a tacit understanding of how to draw the cards at the end. To put it bluntly, no matter how clever Taylor shuffled the cards, he could not escape their eyes.
Therefore, this gambling game has also changed the previous manual shuffling method. The cards will be shuffled by a machine and then the dealer will deal the cards.
Before the cards are dealt to everyone, the height of the cards from the table will not exceed one centimeter. This will eliminate to the greatest extent the advantage Qin Feng and Gedhaus have in gambling skills.
"Haha, I am the Ace of Hearts. Is there anyone bigger than me?"
When everyone revealed the cards in front of them, Abdul laughed loudly and got off to a good start, which is a very auspicious meaning for Arabs.
"I am Q..."
"I am a 9"
"I'm at 8 o'clock..."
"One piece of 3..."
"What a bad luck, a 2!"
In the end, Abdul won the single-card bet. Gedhaus got a small 3 and Qin Feng got a 2, which was the smallest among all the cards.
"I choose first, right? I choose the last position..." When Taylor announced that Abdul had the highest card, Abdul pointed to the seat at the back of the card table without hesitation.
In a stud gambling game, the choice of position is very important. Some strong people like to sit in the first place, because when they get the first two cards, they can shout the word "stud" and force the next player to follow.
...or not follow.
But this method is often very risky, and the possibility of a card being kicked out is also very high.
Therefore, more people like to sit in the middle or at the back. This way, they can have an overview of the whole situation and have many more choices.
"Mr. Doug, where do you want to sit?" Taylor looked at Doug.
Thomson, he got a Q, which was the second highest card among the six people.
"I'll sit next to Abdul!" Doug obviously knew this well, and like Abdul, he chose a seat at the back.
